P.S. Here are a few things that fueled this newsletter/me this year:
♥️ Time with Baby H: I’m so grateful for all the memories my husband and I made this year, watching our little one go from a newborn to an almost 1-year-old. It’s been the best and most exhausting time of my life.
🙌 How to make your to-do lists more doable: NPR’s Life Kit newsletter offered some great advice on “a more effective way to write [your] to-do list.”
🐶 The ‘This is fine’ dog meme come to life: The out of context dogs Twitter account shared a very patient pooch.
