A few personal updates on my mind, things that charmed me this week, and some great finds from the web for when you have a few moments to relax.

Every December I say it, because every December it rings true. This year was a complete whirlwind that went by too fast. It feels like 2016 resolutions were just listed, and all of a sudden 2017 is on the horizon. Really, where does time go?!

Here are some blogging highlights of the past 12 months that have made for some fun reads as I reflect. (It’s amazing how blogging ends up being a mini diary of sorts, detailing major and minor events alike!)

Sipping my morning coffee, I’m currently in my pajamas, sitting in a weathered leather chair that feels like a massive pillow, in a sunroom overlooking snow-covered trees. There’s a toy train riding along the exterior of the room that Gracie has deemed her new favorite pastime to watch while yelling, “Choo-choo!” Christmas carols are crooning quietly in the background, and though I know every lyric, they don’t seem to get old.

Happy Thanksgiving! Today I’m sharing a few words of gratitude, plus 5 sales to shop if you’ve got a little down time!
