Merry Christmas!

Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and so much joy over the holiday.

Cottage in the snow

I’m sitting here with loads of presents still to wrap, a warm cup of tea, and Michael Bubble crooning on the radio.

I wanted to take the time to thank each and everyone of you for stopping by the blog this year. It is my hope you found encouragement, inspiration, pretty photos of our coastal town and decor, some fun recipes, and a safe space to reflect on life.

2020 has been….

hard.

long.

tiring.

made us all realize –

2020 made realize – life is a gift. Each and every moment we have is so special. It’s important to tell your family and friends how much they mean to you. It’s important to live your life to the fullest. To laugh big belly laughs and to cry (those big ugly cries) when you need to!

With all this in mind, I’m taking some time off to spend with my guys, my dogs, and my mom.

Black Lab in the snow

The plan is for lots of sledding and playing in the snow. Lots of long walks. Cooking and baking together and sleeping in. We also hope to catch up on reading, painting, and making progress in our bedroom and John’s bedroom. Phew. That’s a long list!!! One day I’ve decided we NEED to spend in our jammies and just relax snuggled on the couch.

I’m sure you all can relate.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my posts and leave such lovely comments. It means the world to me. I have lots planned for 2021 and am so excited to share everything once I’ve had a bit of a break.
