Five Simple Things (November 5)

Hello.

Here are five things this week.

1. This Car.

Finally set a date and time to begin the repairs on my car from my car wreck. We are going with Freebird Body and Paint in Corvallis, Oregon, and I am thrilled that they are working with us so much on all of the damage. I highly recommend them. I can not wait to get my car back and memories of my car wreck being put behind me with this huge step.

2. These Boxes.

These were the Mightyfixes for September and October of this year. The September "fix" was the 100% cotton Kitchen Conversions tea towel and the October "fix" was the Mother Dirt prebiotic deodorant. Both of these were a great addition to our minimal practices and our efforts in using more sustainable and healthier products. You can sign up for the next Might Nest Mightyfix here.

This month's goodies from Kiwi Eco Box. Love the rice spoons and Matcha Tea. You can sign up for this box here.

Our last box from Mullybox. We tried them for a year and loved each and everything we were sent, but we decided to end it and explore other monthly boxes now. There are so many out there and trying a few out at a time is a lot of fun. If you are interested in this box, you can sign up here.

3. This Stick.

We finally upgraded our Amazon Fire Stick this week and are currently waiting on the new one. This Fire Stick above we've had since November 2014. It's been literally seven years we've had this Fire Stick and it's been great all those years, but the last few months we noticed it skipping, or pausing at certain times. We figured it was definitely time for an upgrade. This Fire Stick is part of the first generation Fire Sticks that came out on November 2014, and we were one of the few people that started using it with our television. We have had a great relationship with Amazon all these years and we can't wait to get our new one and continue that relationship. If you want to give the Amazon Fire Stick a try, you can sign up here.

4. This Fog.

I love fog and I love even more capturing fog at just the right time. If you weren't aware I have another Instagram account dedicated to all of the fog pictures that I take when we are road tripping, driving around, or out and about. I've seen a lot of great fog moments and we can see all of these here at my account Fog Pictures.

5. This List.

We've been trying to eat more in season fruits and vegetables along with our all organic choices. There are weeks where it's completely easy to incorporate a seasonal product, but sometimes it's a challenge. I remind myself that we are looking for improvement each time, not striving for perfection. For someone like me that hates cooking, it is a challenge, but it's getting better and easier slowly.

Did you catch Uranus in its brightest position of 2021 this week (5), or even the new moon bringing large tides on the third?

Positive affirmations this week:

I think one thing that happens as we age is being grateful that we didn't get what we thought we needed, or wanted. It's hard to understand why at the time, but I look back on things I thought I wanted and I'm actually okay with not having them. But, I will admit, there are a lot of things I want that I still haven't gotten. I like to look at these as moments of patience. Eventually those things will make there way towards me, or I will learn a new lesson on why they aren't good for me. It's all about time and that's all we all have, time.
