Sunday Scroll #131
Spring home refresh, elevated basics, tacos in 9 minutes, and a life simplifier worth bookmarking.
Good morning, Happy Sunday — and Happy International Women’s Day! How’s it going?
I’m doing pretty well, because guess what? We made it. Daylight Savings Time is here!!!! The sun’s going to be out in Pensacola until 7 PM tonight! Do you know what this means? For the next eight months, I’m going to feel like a human again. 😂 I hope something brings you as much joy as Daylight Savings brings to me.
Oh, did you see we chose a March book for Emily’s Book Club? The members have spoken, and we’re reading Mattering: The Secret to a Life of Deep Connection and Purpose by Jennifer Breheny Wallace (Amazon | Bookshop.org).
I feel like this is the book I need right now. You too, maybe?
All right, ready for some links? Let’s get scrolling!

Why we can’t stop reading — and writing — food diaries. Something you need to know about me: I want to know what you’re eating for breakfast. I want to know what you’re feeding your kids in school lunches. I want to know your quick dinner tips. I want all of it! (heads up: if you hit a paywall, remember that Instapaper and archive.ph are your friends. Plus, you can find free issues of The New Yorker and other magazines via the library app, Libby. The more you know! 💫)
The life simplifier I wish I’d found sooner. This is so smart.
