Today’s Scrolls is a compilation of all of the meals, movement, mindset and moments that have been bringing us joy lately, and we can’t wait to share them with you. Especially the crinkle cookies and the wisdom at the very end. It has completely shifted how I look at the people we surround ourselves with, and the great light they shine in our lives. I think you’ll like it too. Come on in and warm up with us!

As you might have noticed, we are big Harry Potter fans over here so I’m planning on surprising Grey with a hot mug of Butterbeer on Christmas Eve. I’ll share our version when we perfect it, but I’m starting with this as a base (parts of this one too) and healthifying it from there! 🪄

The third nugget is SO very helpful when you spend time with anyone this holiday season. Plus, the nerd in me loves learning a new vocabulary word. This one became a fast favorite.
moments
Here is everything from my favorites folder last month. I save random pictures of things I’m grateful for, hence the photo of the extra large avocado. We do this funny thing every time we slice an avocado for morning smoothies. “This avocado was top of its class at Stanford”. “This avocado was the farmer’s favorite”. As you can imagine, Grey comes up with some pretty silly ones too, especially for what he dubs, the “bruised baddies” 😆.

As we wrap this year, I’m reading this book now for a new way to see endings (a Jon recommendation) and I just finished this book (a quick, interesting read about an apothecary for women in London in the 1700’s). This book got rave reviews and it’s next on my nightstand. I can’t wait!

And I’ll leave you with this to think about in case we’re in the same boat. As I was reading this quote highlighted in James Clear’s newsletter, it made me think about how our family dynamics have ebbed and flowed over the years. I feel the loss of my grandparents deeply around the holidays. They always felt like the glue that held us all together. And though the quote is about friends, it made me think about them, and how the void isn’t just their presence and the magic they brought to our lives, but also the light they brought out in each of us, that only they could. I hope that in the coming celebrations, you shine a light on your people, and bask in the light they shine on you 💙. Be well and joyful, kind friend!
