I almost called this post “Surviving The Shortening Days” but then I realized: I don’t want to survive the dark when there are so many things to enjoy about it.
I love this Rachel. All of it. Thank you for writing and making me laugh. When I read the title I thought you were referring to shortening used in baking but alas you were referring to the days which become short in this cold weather season. The cold of which I am very happy to welcome! I love what you shared about getting out of the house after dark. My husband and I go to bed between 8:30 and 9pm since we wake up when it’s dark at 4:30am. This post inspires me to be more creative, move my body daily, use more candles (I agree with your sentiments entirely, they are such a lovely thing), and be more given to hospitality.

Hahah “THE SHORTENING DAYZ!” The days when we are rising up and using Crisco like a boss.
