I couldn't have said it better. Don't we all need that from time to time, particularly during the crunch of the holidays? I'll see you tomorrow to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!

This and That
I've been busy. With what you ask? Oh the typical - prepping for Thanksgiving (we're hosting), working, cleaning, joined a gym - trying to get into shape, play-dates, and trying to finish up some overdue home projects. My favorite part? I actually took some time to create a Thanksgiving tablescape this season which I plan to post pictures tomorrow! Yay! In the meantime, I hope to use this long weekend to finish up some home projects. Here is a hint on one such project I'm working on:
Do you notice a trend? I also plan to get a head start on our Christmas shopping and decorating this weekend. This year we will choose our Christmas tree from a local farm and have it tagged. When we're ready to have it cut, we just call them in advance and they cut it. This way I can guarantee NOT to see a pile of needles on the living room floor before Christmas Eve!
Lastly, I plan to take some time for me. A good friend and mentor gave me this book in which she wrote, "I love how in a very gentle and uncomplicated way the book encourages self-love, dreaming, imagining, creating, playing, exploring and nurturing your spirit, dreams, passions, curiosities and desires."

ReplyDeleteThat book sounds pretty interesting. Keep us posted on what you think.
Is it crazy that I'm a bit jealous that you are hosting Thanksgiving? I'm doing all the cooking but since it's not my house I'm not decorating the table. Enjoy!
Happy Thanksgiving! Can't wait to see your tablescape! Don't forget to squeeze in some time for yourself as you've planned! :)
