It's been a few weeks (sorry about that!), so let's grab a hot cup of coffee and sit down and chat.
We are still in vacation mode over here, but things are beginning to slow down. Our Christmas season was wonderful and busy! We hosted Christmas Eve with Jon's family and just this weekend, we had a fun New Year's Party for the people in my husband's departments. I am enjoying that we have a third week, so we can just be.
Our Christmas was wonderful! We spent some great time with both of our families and eating delicious food! My best friend got me a coloring book and I am just hooked. . . I cannot stop coloring! It's so relaxing!
The Christmas decorations were put down yesterday and now my house feels really naked. Surfaces are really bare right now and I am okay with that. Last year, I read the Nesting Place and loved it! The author (and one of my favorite bloggers) Myqillyn Smith suggests quieting your home every now and then. And so, in the transition between decor, I am quieting our house this week. And since this week, we are just hanging out and staying close to home, I am enjoying the quiet.
Now that the kiddos are a bit older, I am really savoring the fact that they LET me sleep most mornings. I won't lie. . . sleeping til 8 or 9 in the morning has been wonderful (I've also been staying up way too late)! And, even though that is going to end in a week, I am looking forward to getting back to our normal life.
I am trying to pick ONE WORD for the year. I am having serious commitment issues about this year's word. I am hoping to share my word with you next week. This year is going to be bringing about a bit of change with Weston starting school in the fall and who knows what else will happen. But, I am anticipating it to be a very exciting year.
I plan on listening to more podcasts and reading more books and getting caught up on my albums this year. There will be lots of cooking. . . I even want to try my hand at making a sourdough bread starter. I also plan on finishing some quilts! One top is almost done and I can't wait to share it with you.
I wish you a wonderful 2016! What is a hope you have for the upcoming year?
