How oh how is it already December 4th?!
I have no idea but y’all it’s been a hard year and I’m ready for 2020. Ok, maybe that was a little heavy up at the top of the post but it’s the truth. I will say that I am SO HAPPY to have been able to decorate for Christmas this year. I haven’t really decorated since 2015 and being able to have some simple but joyful decor throughout the house has been lovely. I need to snap some photos and share them. πŸ™‚

I’m soaking in some quiet evenings watching Christmas movies and listening to Christmas music. We’ve also been getting some cool weather and it’s bringing me all those winter vibes that I love so much!


RECAP NOVEMBER GOALS

  • Write every day using the prompts.
    – Yeah I didn’t really complete this and I’m ok with it. I did a few prompts and then life got busy. πŸ™‚
  • Track / Better manage my food intake and educate myself on the nutrition I’m eating.
    – I did this! I started reading all about macros and re-started adding my info to myfitness pal.
  • BE PRESENT when I spend time with Eddie for a few days.
    – YES! It was so good to spend a couple of days together. It was also SUPER hard to say goodbye this time. We did a lot of lounging, chatting, and cuddling. It was needed.
  • Keep moving every day
    – WELLL….this one was tough. I injured my hip end of October / beginning of November and it’s still injured. It’s now messing with my lower back and I am actually heading to the chiropractor today to see what can be done. I would feel better then workout and re-injure it.

DECEMBER GOALS

  • Stretch more (more yoga!)
  • Track my food and keep learning about Macros
  • Complete 2 house projects (guest room & hang sconces in my room)

Wrapping | Presents, isn’t everyone πŸ˜‰ – I’ve actually tried to be really intentional in gift giving this year. I want to give things/experiences people will use vs collecting dust.

Baking | All. The. Things. Ok actually I’m not but I want to be! These peppermint oreo cake balls look so so good!

Lighting | I recently got this Sugared Birch candle from Target and y’all I’m not kidding it is delicious pungent. I feel like I’m walking through a Christmas tree farm!

Sending | We’re not sending out Christmas cards this year. I really wanted Eddie & I to get a picture together but we just couldn’t make it happen being apart. I’ll be sending hugs & warm wishes to everyone. πŸ˜‰

Enjoying | All the Christmas lights. I purchased 2 of these pencil cashmere pre-lit trees from Michaels and i love them so much. ((they are on SUPER sale right now! Only $55 vs the $140)


Linking up today’s post withΒ Anne.

Instagram post 2197390776340968960_32408268 I've shared all my Christmas decorations on the blog today!
🌲
This time of year is always so cozy and brings a sense of nostalgia that makes my heart happy. ❀
I'm constantly reminded of the grace and mercy of Jesus during this season too. I want it to be a time where I focus on the good and not the overwhelming. .

Instagram post 2196721105837157974_32408268 This is Oliver. πŸ‘‹πŸ»
He was in my grandmother's home (dads side) for many years and after she passed he went to my brothers house and now he resides with me!
πŸ’«
He is a homage to a Rembrandt portrait that was bought in Palo Alto California from an artist selling at a street market and he just makes perfect sense in our space.
πŸ€—
What are some of favorite things that have been handed down through family?

Instagram post 2195874940329614162_32408268 If you've been wanting an honest and raw outlook of where I'm at in life right now...then my blog post is for you today. πŸ‘πŸ»
Really the blog post was for me. I have been doing some reflection the last few days and have had a few AH-HA moments that have left me having to process a lot and recognize that I've got some changes to make. πŸ™ƒ
In the past when change came for me I withered away into a "I don't want to face this" shell. Over the last few years I've seen how change is hard but it can bring so much good if we have the right perspective and pivot. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Instagram post 2195171605100239492_32408268 I'm needing a little pick-me-up this Monday. I spent the weekend curled up on the couch attempting to rest and let my body get ahead (& recover) from this cold that came out of no where. πŸ™„
I also went to the doctor last week and I found out that this whole hip pain is actually Trochanteric Bursitis and the only thing I can do to work through it is rest, ice, anti inflammatories, and no hard workouts. It's going to be super hard for me to not workout like I am used to for the next 4-6 weeks. I am having to pause, pivot, and approach my fitness and weight loss journey a little differently during this season.

Instagram post 2192945577606881892_32408268 Coffee + Books is the perfect morning routine (#ad).
β˜•
I've been spending my Saturday mornings in a slow routine of making some french press @officialmaxwellhouse coffee and sipping on that delicious warmth (y'all the smooth bold is my favorite right now!). I've also been reading through the newest illustrated HP book the husband got me for my birthday.
⚑
What is your winter weekend routine? I want to hear all about it.

Instagram post 2192362811714493448_32408268 This was 3 days before we packed up our entire house to move everything across the country last year.
🌲
It had been so long since I decorated for Christmas that I actually jumped for joy when I got my hands on this tiny baby tree to pretend like I was doing all the Christmas things.
πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
What little things do you do during this season that brings you joy? This was definitely one of those joyful moments!

Instagram post 2191523655560054651_32408268 I can't wait for next year when Eddie & I are not only able to walk through an Advent devotional but can also light the weekly candles! πŸ•―
It's a tradition my family did growing up and I LOVED having that devotional time with my mom, dad, & brother around the kitchen table and lighting each candle while learning the reason for the season we're in. πŸ™πŸ»
Seriously, I'm craving that married time where we can strengthen each other and pour into one another.

I seriously love this time of the year. It's a mixture of slowing down and speeding up that brings this excitement you just can't predict. πŸ’«
This week is full of lots of to-dos, multiple appointments, and trying to find balance between it all. What is your week looking like? .
