Weekend Notes

heart-shaped wafflesMorning, friends! It’s been a cozy, fun weekend so far… On Friday, I was feeling pretty zapped from the past week that was full of book events and other work stuff, so we cancelled the babysitter and our multiple Friday night social plans, stayed in, tried a new (amazing) roast chicken recipe, and hung-out in front of the fire. It was such a refreshing evening and just what I needed to get reenergized for the crazy pace of these next few pre-holiday and book tour weeks. Also, we watched the documentary Fed Up and it was so eye-opening. I’d resisted watching it for awhile because I’d been skeptical that there could be a new angle from yet another food documentary, but the makers of this film definitely had something important to say. Have any of you seen it? I’d love to hear your take in the comments. It’s definitely made me take a second look at the sugar content in many “healthy” foods we have around our house, and reemphasized the importance of watching for added sugar in the items I pack in Phoebe’s lunch. What are all of you up to this weekend? Hope it’s cozy and fun, and enjoy my favorite links from the week!
