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."
