Hi! Happy last Friday of the month. It’s *finally* here haha. As you may have noticed, there are so many “it feels like January 54th” type of memes going around and I definitely have been feeling that. I’m excited for a new month, but I feel like the weekends are already filling up! We have a pretty chill weekend ahead and I am here for it. We’re not big football people, so we’ll make some Super Bowl snacks and drink some beer, but have no stake in who wins haha *Edit - after I wrote that statement I looked up who was even in the Super Bowl and I’m torn on who to root for! I have a lot of family in Kansas, so even though the Chiefs are a Missouri team, I should probably support my mid west fam. BUT I also have a big family branch in the San Fran area…wow, who knew I would be in such a dilemma 😂. ANYWAY, have a great weekend, friends xo

// Since one of my favorite bloggers brought up emotional labor a few years ago, it has been on my mind. She mentioned she had been reading a book that changed her life and I was so curious! She just recently wrote about her experience reading it, and then interviewed the author and now I’m even more intrigued! But one of the comments really caught my attention: “Wow just wow. Fair doesn’t mean 50/50 is such a revelation. It should be obvious, but it’s not”. I would recommend giving this review a read and thinking about how your emotional labor is divided in your household.
