This is probably my favorite gift guide yet. As a major homebody, I appreciate the importance of "comfiness" above all else. I work from home, live at home (duh), and like to spend my free time at home like a true Cancer (my birthday is July 9th).
I pretty much live in my Patagonia fleeces (I have multiple), but this one is for sure the softest.
Shooting this year's holiday card felt good. Like really good. Last year, I was in such a bad place, feeling so sorry for myself. While we took the photos, I had just had my second miscarriage... which is why we wore glasses in the photos. There were tears, it was awful. This year, I felt happy, fulfilled, loved, and healthy.
When we bought our house last year, we had all these grand plans to redo every room and install all kinds of fancy things... including a new bannister. Because we live in a split-level, the first thing that you see when you walk into our home is a staircase. Not chic. The bannister was dated and ugly, and I wanted to replace it with a super expensive new, more modern one.
Annndddd we're back... Thanksgiving weekend came and went in a flash, making it now officially the holiday season. My weekend was so wonderful, a great time of unwinding, eating, and spending time with family. The highlights included a Thanksgiving dinner mannequin challenge (which included my 90 year old great aunt), and seeing my brother Jackson perform as Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol.
