Friday Things #585

1. Next week, Dominic and I will head to New York for his quarterly scans, as well as neuroblastoma vaccine #9, and multiple other appointments. Please pray and send good thoughts his way for continued clear scans and remission, as well as limited side effects from the injection, and safe travels.

2. The kids started school this week! I cannot believe how fast summer went, and now they’re off and running in 5th, 3rd, and 2nd grades. They are all content and thriving, which makes us so incredibly happy.

3. Did you see that Tupperware has come out with its first glass food storage containers? I may need to grab a couple when they come out in a couple of weeks!

4. Such a good practice:

“Praise others. It will bring them peace of mind.
Do not expect others to praise you. It will bring you peace of mind.”

5. YESSSS >> I’m Not Ignoring Your Message… I’m Overwhelmed By the Tyranny of Being Reachable.

6. And on that note >> 3 Simple Tips for Organizing Your Digital Life

7. My husband stumbled upon the Facebook page Jeff’s Garden Project, and he regularly posts videos of a groundhog eating food from his garden. It quickly became our family’s favorite daily thing – watching Chunk the Groundhog eat; broccoli is especially funny :)

8. Did you know there are two different varieties of cinnamon? My husband recently researched cinnamon and found that Ceylon cinnamon is considered the “true cinnamon”, but most people use “cassia” cinnamon, which is widely sold as Saigon (Vietnamese) cinnamon, Indonesian cinnamon, and Chinese cassia. He bought a bottle of Ceylon for his oatmeal, and I gave it a try, too… it definitely tastes a little spicier (like nutmeg) and a little more floral. Curious if you have thoughts!

9. We’re still watching The Sinner; neither of us liked season three, but so far, season four seems better.
