This week’s Smorgasbord has a little bit of everything — fall coziness, kid chaos, and wallpaper-induced regret. Kate’s feeling the crisp weather and cozy sleep vibes (even if she’s packing for four trips), while Anne’s riding high on soccer season and fighting through her home decor budget blues.
We’re diving into the parenting feels — from managing anxiety (thanks, Amy Poehler) to coaching our own kids and helping them through self-doubt — plus a few confessions about losing our cool and recovering after.
On the lighter side, we’ve got design updates (moved some pillows, called it progress), fitness goals (3-minute plank by 2026, anyone?), and a Tech Tip that’s all about giving kids a little independence without losing your mind.
It’s cozy chaos, family feels, and just enough self-awareness to keep us laughing through it all.
Tech Tip: Give them more independence. Let them go order in a restaurant while you wait in the car. Let them go get a few items at the grocery. Let them walk to a friends house that’s the right distance.
