Happy Thanksgiving // November Recap

I want to change the format for these recap posts to be more like my quarterly updates. To that end, I am introducing various sections. I'll talk about what I've been loving, share some books, I'll still share updates on my goals for the month and photos from what I've done. With that in mind, please enjoy November's update!

Things I've Been Loving

• This playlist that turns The Odyssey into a musical! (There are a few songs with some language).
  
• We got our first snow! Nothing stuck and it was gone by the end of the day but the flurries were GORGEOUS!
• Baseball award season. Our ace, Tarik Skubal, won the pitching Triple Crown and Cy Young for the American League, as well as was selected for the All-MLB team! Oh, and he is the Tiger of the Year. Colt Keith won our Rookie of the Year and we had players up for Silver Sluggers and a Gold Glove and our manager was up for Manager of the Year. Exciting stuff!

My Bookshelf

I have been doing a lot of re-reads but these are some great first-time reads from this month.

• Lowcountry Lost by T.I. Lowe
• Between The Sound & The Sea by Amanda Cox.
• Percy Jackson #7 by Rick Riordan
•  Cornered  by Lynette Eason
•  Serial Burn  by Lynette Eason
• Beyond Ivy Walls by Rachael Fordham
  

Have you read any of these? Which ones sound good to you?

Personal Updates
Well, this is going live on Thanksgiving, so I have to assume it is a great holiday. It usually is :) This month has been very nice. I got to have the three youngest of my nieces and nephews here for three days, during which we celebrated the niece's 3rd birthday and the littlest nephew's 1st birthday. I got to make gingerbread and watch Barbie Nutcracker with a friend and her two little girls, and I got to introduce another friend to the amazingness that is Little Women! She'd never read the story or seen any movie version.


Business Updates
I made it to three studios and a super cute outdoor space this month. I'm super excited about all of the options, the fact that I have choices in both areas I service, and that the owners are all so wonderful! Outdoor sessions will forever be my favorite but I'm not gonna lie, I want to do some sessions at these places now! I also did get my lens hoods and they are attached to their proper lenses.

This is The Glasshouse and Studio 3505. Both are on the same property, just different looks.

I just thought this was super cool when I saw it.

I was commanded to draw Charmander :)
