Officially kicking off my birthday weekend and celebrating 34 years around the sun! It’s a crazy time of year but also the most fun in my opinion. This week is my absolute favorite because it’s American Thanksgiving and we are lucky enough to spend it in California with my family. Cool walks in the eucalyptus trees, afternoons by the pool, cozy dinners by the fire…life doesn’t get much better than this! The older I get the more simple the things that bring me joy. Truly nothing is better than a walk, family time, a little sunshine, a glass of wine by the fire. Sign me up! With each passing year (and even day) I am more and more grateful for the little things in life. My babies’ soft skin, a hug from my husband, and time with my loved ones (phones aside….minus a couple pics!!) So, this year, that is my wish, my focus, and my intention. Hope you’re having a great holiday week xx
What I’m watching, reading and listening to
Watching: THE CROWN!!! My goodness I just have loved this season and last. I have found Elizabeth Debicki’s portrayal of Princess Diana to be absolutely astounding. It’s very hard to watch but so well done. I look forward to watching an episode every night after the kids go down while I drink a cup of rooibos tea (if we’re getting specific, which we always are lol).
Reading: I just started this book for an easy vacation read and I truly cannot put it down.
Listening To: Oprah and Arthur C Brooks newest book has an accompanying podcast series and I am loving it so far. It’s amazing how simple things like keeping a gratitude journal can make you 12% happier within 6 months. I mean really!?? What’s not to love.
What’s inspiring me
Spending uninterrupted quality time with my friends and family with my phone away. There really is nothing more important than the people in your life, and I really love that I get to spend time focusing on hearing stories and understanding what people are going through. There really is no better gift than the present…
