1/17/22 Get ready for your Galentines

If we lived in a world where you could simply close your eyes, make a wish, and watch it come true, I would rent this pink castle in Scotland and invite all my girlfriends for a Galentines girls getaway weekend. Good thing it has a lot of bedrooms.

1/10/22 Ski Daddle

Barring any unforeseen hitches, my husband and and I are off to Utah for the first time skiing in two years. I'll be the one spending a lot of time having lattes in the morning and sunning myself in the afternoon. Good thing I've just started my 30 days of yoga, or I'd be seriously worried about hurting something.

1/3/22 Nuture Yourself

In the quiet of last week, I tucked into my favorite chair by the fire, and enjoyed some me time reading Willow Crossley's "The Wild Journal: A Year of Nurturing Yourself Through Nature". This line resonated: "Have you ever had an incredibly stressful day but found that simply by going outside and encountering nature - in whatever form you find it - you feel a bit happier, calmer and reconnected?"

12/27/21 Little Blue Boxes

Every Christmas morning for the last 20ish years, I make a point of taking a quick time out from the happy chaos under my own roof, and just for a moment, I try to picture all those little blue and white MCD boxes under all the Christmas trees near and far. I think how enormously lucky I am to be a part of your wish lists and your holiday celebrations, and how it has changed my life. I pause and feel how fortunate I am to have a tiny chance to spread a little joy to so many people I know and love, and also to many whom I've yet to have the pleasure of meeting. My heart overflows with gratitude.

12/20/21 Paint the Town Red

How wonderful is London's Fortnum & Mason all lit up in red and dressed like an Advent calendar?! Now if only every window held the perfect fair isle sweater ... a girl can dream.
