Hey friends!

The $150 Amazon gift card giveaway got so much love that I figured… why not run one more before the holidays hit full speed? I’m giving away another $100 Amazon gift card, and the new entry widget is right at the bottom of the same post, just above the previous one. This one runs until December 11, 2025. Good luck — truly hoping it lands in the hands of someone who could use a little extra holiday boost. Enter here!​

Also, thank you for all the kind replies to the last newsletter. So many of you loved the quick travel tip, so here’s another tiny habit I never skip: when you arrive at an Airbnb or vacation rental, take a few photos or a super quick video walk-through. It only takes a minute, and it protects you if something was already damaged or messy from the previous guests.

And since we’re talking about things making life easier… there’s one early Black Friday deal I’m genuinely excited about. My new cat, Dexter, was diagnosed with stage 2 kidney disease, and he needs multiple small meals throughout the day. This PETLIBRO RFID automatic feeder has been an absolute godsend. It’s kept his feedings perfectly consistent, and he’s honestly a whole new cat since we started using it. I don’t have a single negative thing to say about it. I’m grabbing a second one for Miss Kitty now that it’s on sale — Dexter is feeling so good that he’s gotten bold and started climbing up to her dish, so it’s time. If you’ve got multi-pet chaos or different diets to juggle, this little machine is worth its weight in gold.
