Ever since my parents got divorced (many years ago), the holidays have been a little sad for me. Similar to my Thanksgiving emotions, the holiday season brings me all the feels. I tear up when the nostalgic songs come on and when I see lights twinkling everywhere. This year is the first one where I'm genuinely so happy that the sadness hasn't hit...
When you work in an office, you often spend more time each day with your coworkers than your own family (sad but true). I always felt very close to people that I worked with when I used to have a "real" grown up job.
In my last marketing roll before I quit to blog full time, my boss gave me a desk calendar for Christmas (Hi Jen!) and I thought it was the sweetest gift.
Last weekend we were invited to a black tie surprise birthday party for a friend of ours. Because it was at someone's home and wasn't a wedding, I figured a fun black jumpsuit would be a fun little twist. I was definitely the only one there not in a dress, but I also got more compliments on my look than ever before!
Breakfast is a hectic time in my house these days. Anel is usually rushing out the door for work, and I’m trying to pack in my morning routine before the baby wakes up. That doesn’t leave a lot of time for breakfast.
If I don’t eat first thing, I get cranky and hungry really quickly, but sometimes even spending 10 minutes making a meal isn't an option.
