COFFEE TALK

It's Friday, let's get down to it.  How many Chestnut Praline Lattes have you consumed this week and how many extra pumps can you request before the shame sets in?  Asking for a friend...

I am most definitely in Christmas mode, I am past all subtlety.  On Monday I went to Target for three things, none of which were Christmas-related, but left with the above situation.  Mr. Pedantic had the gall to ask if we needed more Christmas decorations.  My response is "do you need more happiness?" 

I have heard about a certain school of thought which claims that those of us who begin celebrating Christmas before Thanksgiving skip over the celebration of Thanksgiving.  Not so with me.  Thanksgiving is, without a doubt, my favorite holiday.  I just get all the joy of anticipating Christmas and all the best food at the same time. 

Let's talk about cleaning products for a hot minute.  Right now, I use the method all-purpose cleaner on all my countertops, but I have been anxious to try these seasonal multi-surface sprays for months.  I have been eyeing them ever since Jessica mentioned her infatuation with them, and you know I am a sucker for anything seasonally-scented.  Have you tried them?  I am going to pick up a bottle of this peppermint spray for Christmastime, so if you find me licking my countertops, you know why. 

I loved this little tour of Joy's home. Anything that feeds my innate nosiness is a win. 

Mr. Pedantic just got one of these little speakers and we love it so much.  We/I have been using it for everything, even when I am just catching up on instagram stories.  I think it would make such a fantastic Christmas gift. 

I am secretly hoping to run across some of this dessert hummus at a holiday party, you know, so I can try it without the shame of walking it through the check-out line. 

It has been so chilly here in the mornings and I am trying to find my morning jam.  I have been playing around with a spiced tea but it's a little too wintry for me right now so the search continues...  Of course, this latte is always a good idea.  In other news, I need a new pair of slippers and these little fluffy foot havens are on my radar. 

I love this idea!  I am determined to make sour lemon citrus peels to hand out to friends and neighbors this year.  

Have you been keeping up with Jessica's Friendsgiving menu?  Everything sounds so amazing. 

I really want to pull off an off-the-shoulder sweater this Thanksgiving and I am kind of loving this one.  So impractical, but, then again, I'm not hosting. 

November is already scooting by far too quickly and I find myself grappling with the calendar as I try to cling to these wonderful moments.  This weekend, I am hoping to move slowly and intentionally. I hope you do the same.  Happy Friday! 

Sincerely, 

Pedantic Foodie
