How to Make Sure You’re Getting the 7 Types of Rest You Need

Turn Your Handwriting Into A Font (It’s *So* Easy)

I do not like choosing gifts for people. In fact, it's a huge source of stress for me. Will they like it? Do they already have it? What if they pretend to like it? What if they're disappointed? Thankfully, we have a long-held family tradition of sharing gift lists and I'm really grateful we do. With that in mind, and because this pre-teen age is one I find tricky to buy for, I roped Peggy into helping me craft this gift guide for pre-teen girls in the hope it'll help you in the same way our lists help me.

I was the same with Schitt's Creek and in more recent times, body-doubling. The term 'body-doubling' is one I've only just learned about but it's a notion I recognise as a mechanism I've used as far as I can remember to focus and get started on things.
