becoming obsessed with how the memory works thanks to that book.

tying yarn bows on all our gifts.

wearing essie's Sherling Darling – the perfect holiday plum.

asking Santa for Minnetonka moccasins.

fitting back into my favorite jeans for the first time this year.

making lists on top of lists.

celebrating that one of my best friends delivered a healthy baby on Sunday.

ordering supplies for a new venture launching in February.

feeling so excited to take my business in a new direction.

watching the preview for House of Cards season 2 on repeat.

looking forward to having family in town this weekend.

loving this honest post about the work and mamahood juggle.

enjoying the day to day.

    great goal for the monthly family photo – not easy but worth the effort. and while i am sure miss e looks like you, this picture is all about how much she resembles her daddy who is clearly smitten with her.

    Love your family photo… so sweet.
    And yesssss you need Minntonkas. I always feel like I’m getting away with wearing slippers in public with mine. Size down though, they run big.

    Yay for fitting into your jeans!! That’s always the BEST feeling. I always finally can get into mine about 5 months in.
    Oh, and I’m totally borrowing the one family photo a month goal from you. GREAT idea! We have only a few photos, and ya know, even if they aren’t fantastic, it would be nice to have 12 more 😉

    I love these little monthly check-in’s; I think they’re really great to do for yourself. That book sounds awesome and I might just have to check it out myself!

    I have three pairs of that exact style of Minnetonkas and I love then to pieces! They have lasted years. Hope Santa brings them for you!
