Happy Friday! The first week of the year flew by, didn't it? I woke up this morning thinking it was Wednesday. Getting back into the swing of work was tough, but I'm feeling high on life today after four super productive days, a successful photo shoot, cooking healthy, vibrant recipes for every single meal I ate all week, and some extra sunshine in the sky.
I realize that blue stripes and white jeans are not exactly appropriate for January, but yesterday the sun came out, it was 50 degrees (practically tropical around here!), and I felt so excited to feel sunshine on my face and soak up some vitamin D. I suffer from mild seasonal depression, and at some point every winter decide I want to move to California.
I shared photos of our sunroom over the summer, and while it looked super cute, it wasn't all that functional. Even though we have three sitting rooms (a formal living room, a man cave in the basement, and this sunroom), we never felt like we had our go-to cozy hang-out family room. That was something that kept gnawing at me, so I knew we had to make a change.
Happy New Year, guys! It's been a minute, am I right? Taking off two weeks from blogging and social media (mostly) was definitely restorative but I truly missed it, something that I never felt in other jobs, which made me realize just how lucky I am to be doing the work that I love on a daily basis.
What a year... am I right? With all the craziness going on in the world right now, here are a few of my happiest memories from 2016. I'll see you again in January with new content and a fresh brain! In the meantime, I hope you have a wonderful holiday season, and enjoy time off with friends and family.
