friday favorites

happy friday and happy new year! it seems a bit razy that the holidays have come and gone, but there is something special about those first few days of january and a fresh start.

maya was so into christmas this year, and the magic was not lost on her. she loved writing a note to santa, and preparing his plate of cookies and reindeer treats (carrots and muddy buddies, of course).

happy friday! in the midst of christmas week, and keeping as much of the magic going. we typically stay home for christmas, and visit family on other weekends around the holidays to celebrate. that means our christmas itself is at home, the five of us, snuggling in pjs and eating our favorite foods.

happy friday! another week, and inching rapidly closer to christmas. wade and i cannot believe how fast the end of the year has gone. i feel like halloween was yesterday, and yet somehow i’m finalizing christmas lists, planning cozy meals, and putting the finishing touches on our family holiday magic.

it has been a minute, but friday favorites was really exciting to me. i love the magic of the holidays, planning holiday adventures for my children, and cozying up on the couch to watch holiday movies after bedtime.

this week was crazy; i had numerous work events and meetings, which made the week fly by. it’s also gotten so cold, it absolutely feels like winter.

this week’s friday favorites feel like a little bit of all of what i needed this week; holiday magic, decompressing, and welcoming the cold.

friday friday friday! after a whirlwind of a week, i am so happy it’s friday. we have virtually zero plans this weekend, outside of football being back. our family is ready for pizza friday, watching the us open, and the farmer’s market this weekend.

friday friday friday! i am so happy it’s friday. i had a big category presentation today to report out on spanish wine, specifically albarino. it was a lot of prep, but i presented, felt great, and i’m so happy to relax the rest of this weekend.

so here’s to the weekend, pizza nights, good wine, and all the things i’m loving this week.

...and we're back

So that’s where I’ve been - taking a quiet moment to give myself credit for the past two years, and the chaos of the past six months. I’ve been listening to my body tell me to slow down and focus on one thing at a time, and to be proud of everything I’ve done this year.

last week

this week was a bit crazy in preparing for her birthday, and managing our day to day lives. work has been busy, but it’s been exciting to dive back into it and feel out my footing again. adding to the anticipation of maya’s birthday weekend, organizing and planning, i ended up with a tick bite, spending an afternoon at urgent care. this has made me fully lean into my life as a hat lady, using any opportunity to wear my favorite summer hats while i still can.

this week

happy happy friday! i cannot believe it’s already friday and another week is done. this was my first full week back to work, albeit part time. i still cannot believe i’m back to work, but it has felt so good. i’ve loved getting dressed, getting organized, putting everyone on a routine, it really is my happy place.

this week

happy friday. another week, another month, almost all gone. it’s amazing how fast i feel like time is flying. the past few weeks have been something special. i am completely wiped, exhausted, but still supremely happy and have been taking in as much time with our fam as is possible.

this week

in better news, we’re loving our little bubble with brendan and maya. baby boy will already be a month old this weekend and it still feels completely surreal to snuggle him. i take none of it for granted and feel so lucky to have him with us and be his mommy.
