Happy Friday 10/18/24
Happy Friday! Any exciting weekend plans?! The kids and I are going to watch the Wild Robot at an old theater that promises to have the best popcorn. We all loved the books and can’t wait to see the movie (here’s the trailer). Wishing you a lovely weekend!

Some links from the week…
This red hutch sopped me mid-scroll this week (shown above). Jenni has the best eye for color!
We’re all becoming homebodies - and it’s having surprising impacts on our health.
This week we shared the Poplar Cottage’s pretty new exterior lights!!
Have you tried Nanaimo bars before? Our kids tried them at our local bakery and loved them so now I want to try this recipe at home.
Is open plan living a thing of the past?
9 Actionable Tips for a Digital Detox. Our family has been on a bit of a ‘digital detox’ lately, taking a break from late-night scrolling, video games, and iPads - I even cancelled Netflix 😱! So far we’ve noticed our family spending more time playing games and reading, more chatting and less arguments, and a better sense of connectedness and cohesion. I’m sure we’ll add back some screen time eventually, but it’s been a very nice change of pace!
Our current favorite card game. It takes a second to get the hang of, but everyone in our family (ages 7 to 42) loves it!
Wow! Have you heard this 21-year-old violin prodigy play, yet?!
This might be the prettiest ranch-style home I’ve ever seen!
Just finished this novel and loved it! There’s a bit of magic, plenty of love, and a who-done-it at the heart of it. Highly recommend!
Have a good one!
