Happy new year. Phew. ☺️ The blog’s been on autopilot for a while, and I’m feeling quite rusty over here. But what better (i.e. easier 😉) way to jump back in than with a “10 Things” post?!
Mitch here!
New Year’s resolutions are especially tough this year. And after being shut inside for nine months, I’m sick of introspection. I also feel that I’ve already done enough self improvement for one year. I’m fasting every day, I exercise regularly, I’m reading, and I even eat salad!
So I’m skipping the resolutions this year. I’m good. Instead, I’m going to write my future self a letter—because I’m ready to look outward again.
A few weeks ago, I received a press e-mail about the $12 Glide Thru Detangling Brush on Amazon and I uncharacteristically opened it (because I’m obsessed with anything that’ll help with hair loss) and LET’S JUST SAY I WAS INFLUENCED. 😆
Yes, I bought the brush.
And let me tell you:

Home ownership in 2020 is confusing. In addition to all the regular home maintenance chores, our homes are filling with internet-enabled gadgets and systems that would blow even George Jetson’s mind. But I just finished installing our Sonos wireless speaker system and today I’m going to review it all for you.

I took Emma camping in the fall and it was the best weekend. She did great. I did great. My friend Peter and his daughter did great. The whole thing was just great. Great!
Anyway, I’m sorry it took me this long to get around to sharing it. But hey, squeezin’ it in before the end of 2020!

The Chicago winter is here and my wardrobe isn’t prepared, as evidenced by our Instagram Stories. I wear shorts until Christmas, and this year, Kelly is putting her foot down. No more winter shorts, Mitch.
She’s probably right, as much as I hate to admit that. My All-Year Capsule Wardrobe got me this far, but I’m anticipating a brutal winter. So I went about designing a capsule wardrobe to start dressing like an adult and less like a 13-year-old, and this is what I came up with.
I know this is likely the weirdest Christmas we’ve all had, but I wanted to take a moment to wish happiness to you and yours today. ♥️
So here’s a fun story about the Larkin Family’s 2020 experience getting a Christmas Tree:

Being a father of two has given me some perspective on just how easy my life used to be. I now actively look for ways to simplify things in the hopes of carving out a few extra minutes of Private Mitch Time. And I need my Private Mitch Time!
