What I Read In November 📖

and something exciting coming soon!! ✨

November is generally a quiet, restful month for me—a moment to breathe between the whirlwind of fall and the excitement of the holiday season. This year, we used the month to tackle some major projects, like painting the built-ins in our basement and beginning the transition back into the renovated space. With nearly 50 bookshelf cubbies to paint (!!), I indulged in an abundance of audiobook time—a rare luxury with four little ones underfoot. Getting lost in a good story while painting was a refreshing change of pace. But before we delve into what I read in November…

I've always loved following my favorite YouTube vloggers during their holiday Vlogmas series, and this year, I felt inspired to bring a similar vibe to my Substack. Since I fully unplug come mid-December, this will be a fun and intentional way to share all the festive joy I can while leaving space for rest later in the month.

Starting December 1st, you can expect book lists, mindfully curated gift guides, cozy movie recommendations, a lineup of baked goods recipes, hand-drawn printables, thoughtful stocking stuffer ideas, a holiday home tour, and music playlists delivered to your inbox daily. The season will culminate in a virtual bookish craft night on December 12th! I can’t wait!
