welcome to my creative and happy space. i hope you love it all!
with the cold, this has been my go-to uniform for the winter. cozy, live in, keep forever type of sweater, great jeans, and my favorite ballet flats.
it has been a bit crazy the past couple of weeks, between a long holiday weekend, a snow storm giving us two snow days with the kids, both kids getting hit with a virus this past week, and celebrating wade’s birthday. our family mantra has quickly become “cozy cozy” as we have been snuggling into the couch, watching movies, reading books, and staying warm and comfortable.
school is closed today for the holiday, so we have a bonus day home with the kids. maya wasn’t feeling great friday coming home from school, so we really leaned into a quiet weekend. we watched lots of football, ate some of our favorite dinners, and went on lots of walks for coco.
it’s friday! my favorite time to to note a few things that really made my week.
tacos are my favorite food, for honestly any meal of the day. this version, sriracha lime salmon tacos have been one of the easiest for me to whip up, especially weeknights before the kids bedtime.
i’ve spent a lot of time the past couple of weeks getting organized and excited for the new year. i’ve been diving deep into book lists, recipes, shopping for clothes, and refreshing bits all over the house. it has felt so good to get organized, or clear out some of the baby things we have, but also feeling like the house is refreshed.
in so many ways, i felt like this year pushed me to every limit. with the amount of changes in our lives, i had many moments of feeling a little bit unsure of how to pull it all together, a little broken. then i would wake up on the other side and realize that we did it all. but we didn’t even just survive. we may have thrived, learning our family dynamic, making incredible memories, and bonding in the most incredible and special way. every time i felt over extended, exhausted, pushed to the brink, i also realized that comes with being present in the moments i wished for over the years.
happy happy friday! i am certainly feeling festive, but wanted to note a few things that really made my week.
this upcoming week, i have a supplier dinner, wade has a holiday party, and we’re so excited for holiday festivities with friends all of next weekend. i have a ton of christmas shopping to finally finish, for the kids and friends. a few things i’m eyeing are in my links.
these cookies are my absolute favorite. my mom has made them every year for the holidays, and it doesn’t feel like the holidays without them.
hi! another weekend in the books, and i can appropriately say my family is living for the holidays. we love a good excuse for a cookie, and we all are incredibly content snuggling into the blankets on the couch.
variations of this outfit have been on repeat this weekend, and i intend to wear all winter.
so, i caved in on this swoon worthy sweater, and i’m so so happy i did. it is the coziest and warmest, but functional. i feel so chic every time i throw it on or over my shoulders.
the weather is really letting me live my best fall life, and i might feel basic, but i’m living for it. give me all of the cozy sweaters, sneakers, and layers possible. i’m also getting ready for my first 10k since my kids were born, and this is my favorite time to run, so i am loving it all.
