Friday recommendations, 11/28

1. All Her Fault. I'm late to the game because I don't like waiting week-to-week for episodes. But I watched this whole series in 2 nights, staying up til midnight both nights. It's 8 episodes I think? Anyway. Really good! Cannot recommend enough if you need something to binge this weekend. 

2. Black Friday or Cyber Monday? Scott asked me what day has the better deals? I don't know. I feel like the closer to Christmas, the more desperate every retailer becomes. 

Here is my own wishlist, as well as perfect gifts you might not know you wanted or maybe even needed (like, I really needed that cordless mixer). 

I'm all in on the Aerie-AE stuff right now simply because I kept thinking about it and I've been wearing their clothes for over 20 years, give or take a few years. They have never actually disappointed me. 

I've posted some "that's not actual a sale" Stories on Instagram. This WAS actually a sale so I snatched up some shirts the other night on the app. 

And yeah, that's 12:23 am because I was up watching All Her Fault. 

3. I downloaded this FREE Advent program from Awana, through the M is for Mama newsletter. It's very cute and looks do-able for a 3 and 7 year old. Now taking wagers on whether we will make it 3 days, 1 week or 3 weeks. Who can say...

4. I created this Rounding anchor chart for Teachers Pay Teachers. In the classroom, rounding was the hardest, most abstract concept to teach. Wells "gets" it well enough, but I remember I had to create my own place value chart too, back in the day. I just couldn't find resources that actually were efficient and useful in the best possible way. 

5. I went on a spree last night, commenting on way too many Instagram reels, disassociating in front of an episode of Stranger things that was Not That Great. So I noticed some patterns and I have a lot of hot takes lately. #1 on this list is "please let your kids just believe in Santa". I will follow up on this with an actual post because it's something I'm pretty passionate about during this phase of parenthood. Refer back to my Halloween post if you want a taste of how I just feel like kids should get to be kids, for goodness sake.

Linking up!
