Life Lately: Volume 72

Happy holiday party weekend to everyone who celebrates! We have another weekend packed with holiday festivities and I’m excited and exhausted just looking at the calendar. From the Polar Express to a dressy grown-up party, we are going all in on holiday cheer.

I never could have imagined a weekend like this without alcohol but I know it is going to make me feel so much better at the end of it. And I still don’t even miss it which honestly feels so bizarre. Who am I?

Enjoy these reads and have a great weekend, friends!
