Who's got those MLB news and rumors? #mlb #freeagency #Braves

Last night we watched Jingle Bell Run and wow 10/10 fantastic. It was Amazing Race meets Christmas so that had us from minute one. We're huge Victoria from HIMYM fans, so Ashley Williams was just icing on the cake. Definitely recommend for romcom/reality TV fans. #hallmark #christmas

I haven't even mourned the potential loss of the Bally song. Hopefully FanDuel keeps it, my 3 year old would be devastated if we don't have that jingle next season. #RIPBravesonBally

If you made it this far, thanks for reading! This was a labor of love and really helped me flesh out this area for my players. Would love to get some feedback or suggestions for the less thought out shops/NPCs. Shout out to Tiny Glade again, such a cool game. #dnd #tinyglade #worldbuilding

I have been loving playing Tiny Glade and using it to help me set the scene for my players. I was able to create South Temple Heights, the neighborhood that they have settled in for now, with all the shops surrounding a small green space. #tinyglade #dnd

Tonight we watched the Haul out the Holly double feature. They were both very fun! We fell in love with the residents of Evergreen Lane. The Jolly Johnsons had me pulling my hair out. Also, James Murray sighting at the end of the second one.. 🤯

We will add it to our list! Thanks

Still reeling from the d'Arnaud news, understand it, happy that he got a good deal and is with Wash, but man love me some d'Addy d'Arnaud.

Just what I needed 🙌🏻

Hot Frosty felt like a parody of Hallmark Christmas movies. It was funny, sweet and a bit absurd, definitely recommend. #christmas #netflix #hotfrosty

The wife and I are getting into Hallmark movies this Christmas season. Tonight is Hallmark adjacent with Netflix's Hot Frosty. What are some of the best ones? The worst ones? Most ridiculous premises? #hallmark #christmas #hotfrosty
