Happy Sunday! Welcome to our weekly wrapup of everything we’ve been up to in all corners of the internet!
First up, we need to shout out our feature on CNN! Yes, THAT CNN! No one was more surprised than we were when Faith Karimi of CNN reached out to say that she had read our post about pandemic holiday cards and wanted to talk to us about it.
Thanks to CNN for the feature! You know Megan will talk about the holidays any day!

Making COVID Birthdays Bright
In eight months, many of us have celebrated our birthdays in the shadow of a pandemic. While some things need to change, we can still have fun and celebratory birthday events! We shared our favorite ideas for Zoom birthday parties as well as socially distanced events that can make birthdays feel special, even in the weirdest times.
Girls Gone Christmas – Never Kiss a Man in a Christmas Sweater
We are having so much fun with our holiday series of bonus episodes! Each week we’re talking about one of Hallmark’s new releases in the Countdown to Christmas series. We had a lot to say about this movie, and we aren’t alone in our thoughts!

What we’re reading
Wendy is reading the aptly titled Untangled in order to better understand her teen daughter and feels like this book is speaking directly to her. Since we’re both parents of teens, I imagine we’ll see a lot of books like this in our future.
I’m almost embarrassed to put this book here after Wendy’s more academic choice, but it’s the truth. This is the most recent book that I’ve read that I’ve enjoyed. While it’s probably obvious from the title that this is not the next great American novel, it was nonetheless entertaining. I have read a series of books that were a slog, so finding a funny and sweet book that I wanted to come back to throughout the day was a win!
