The holidays are fast approaching. We share our plans for the season, including activities, food, gifts, how we plan to stay connected to loved ones, and what we are doing to take care of ourselves. Links we mentioned:

Eating lately

Abby continues her quest for homemade Indian food with chana saag (substituting chickpeas for the paneer).

How we’ve changed

Life lately

Abby’s chicks have arrived!

Sarah is dreaming about 2021 and bought a new planner (which she heard about from Sarah Hart Unger). Austin Channing Brown perfectly captured the essence of this purchase in her Instagram post last year.

Reading lately

Abby listened to Kevin Wilson’s Nothing to See Here and Sarah delighted in reading One to Watch by Kate Stayman-London.

How we’ve changed

We each share three ways we’ve changed since adolescence, one way we’ve stayed the same, and an area we’d like to change going forward.

Eating lately

Sarah’s enjoying tiny cans of soda and Abby attempted to recreate her favorite vegetable korma using this recipe.
