These posts are always something I look forward to writing at the end of the year. It seems like every year gets a little bit better than the last. 2015 was so good though, I’m not quite sure how 2016 could possibly top it! This is all to say that 2015 has been a fantastic year. I…
I typically love heading south for Christmas. Of course, it’s where my family is so it’s where we celebrate the holiday. But I also love sneaking away from the cold weather for a few days. (I always have to mentally prepare myself for a frigid January!) I do get a little jealous when I think…
I have half-loved this crazy mild December and half-hated it. It made it much harder to get into the holiday spirit… but at the same time, I really loved being able to wear skirts without tights and ballet flats with no problem. We’ve gotten what we wished for though. The temps have dipped and it’s…
I drove to visit my friend in Rhode Island the weekend before Christmas. Driving long distances is new to me– I only drove my first long distance trip in October! The drive to my friends is right around three hours, which is really not that bad at all. The only issue is that listening to…

I’m breaking about 1,283 family rules by posting this photo. We take our Christmas cards very seriously and there was a delay in the shipping (110% my fault, ugh!)… so no one has received them yet. But I just had to post. As kids, we’d pick out a matching outfit. Once we were older, my…
Garrett and I are trying to figure out what to do for New Year’s Eve. This is going to be the first time since we’ve started dating that we will actually be together for the holiday! I’m so appreciative for his work as a paramedic; the job is not easy and it’s even harder around the…
Potluck dinners always cause me stress because I never know what to bring! Louisa is here today with great suggestions. Definitely worth pinning for future reference!!! How to Be a Great Potluck Attendee Guest post by Louisa from Living Lou I’ve attended and hosted my fair share of potlucks; there’s nothing better than getting together…
