Hi friends. :) 

People have got some opinions this week, huh? I've been reading Facebook and Twitter lately with one eye half open. We need to just ... be nicer to each other. You know? 

Whew. 

I have a few favs this week, and as usual, they cover the spectrum.

1) Treats for class parties. Why....whyyyyyyy. Come Lord Jesus. Why. I don't take delight in making cute bags, I'm not a fan of hand lettering tags for four-year-olds, and listen: I am not baking for them, either. #partyscrooge

Last year for Halloween, I ordered THESE bags from Etsy. And since The Gen is going to a different school this year, I went ahead and reordered them for this year. They're from Graceful Greeting Company, and they're the perfect size for a few snack size candy bars. And I didn't have to make them.

​Win.

2) While we're on the Etsy train: ​

• THIS BAG from Charlie7Bags - I love stripes and I love cross body bags and what can I even say? The reviews look awesome, too. So many sizes. So many patterns. And now you know why I just can't even decide. 
• And for the more ambivalent football fans among us (read: ME), I give you THIS SHIRT. Hooray Football Team? Yes. 
• THIS "Chase Grace" sign is going on my Christmas List. Love, love, love.

3) Tyler Knott Greyson, author of Chasers of the Light, got engaged last week and every woman I've ever met swooned. Click his name and it'll take you to his Instagram post about it and feel your heart flutter a little for how happy he is. And then maybe read some of his soul charging poetry.

4) While we're on the subject of my favorite poets, meet Amy Turn Sharp. I love all of her. All of her. 

5) And the last thing on my list today is that I signed up for a 12 week strength class at the Jesus Gym. Because obvi queso for dinner every night is not helping my pants fit better.

But the queso. It's soooooo gooooooood. 

Sigh. 

Okay. That's it. Love each other a little louder this week. Show each other a little more grace. It's the end of September and the leaves are changing and the seasons are changing, and maybe? 

Maybe we are, too.

xoxo, B.
