this. The perfect simple New Years declaration; I couldn’t have said it better.

This was such an interesting read for me on going make up free. Would you try it?

Did I ever mention this book? It is still on my mind, since I read it back in July. It’s one of the most meaningful and touching books I’ve ever read.

A delicious and cozy-looking soup that I want to make this winter. And, if you haven’t caught on already, I’m a really big fan of the Smitten Kitchen!

This made me laugh. What type are you? I’m 37,829.

I just starting watching this show this week, its so fun!

This is one of my favorite podcast episodes I’ve ever listened to it. I want to listen to it again for the New Year to help me get re-centered. On where I am, and where I want to go.

12 simple styling tips to transform your entire look. I loved this! So helpful to save from wardrobe boredom, since I’ve been embracing more of a capsule wardrobe lately.

I finished this WWII novel a couple of months ago, I couldn’t put it down. I’ve been giving it as gifts to everyone I know.

I’m selling a bunch of my clothes on Poshmark. I’m fascinated with the idea of giving the clothes a new home instead of taking them to a thrift store after reading stats about only 10-20% of donated clothing ended up in the secondhand market. You can find me, here!

Have a great weekend!

My amazing sister @nicoleberrettphotography met us up in a wintery spot one day in December to help us take some family pictures. They turned out to be so beautiful, and I’m just so grateful for this reminder of this sweet time in our lives, enjoying life as a little family of four. Our winter has involved lots of waking up at 7 am to little sleepy bodies splayed over us, making play dough gingerbread men, snow ball fights, disagreements over wearing coats, family dates to dinner, going to the car wash to get a sucker and “touch the noodles!”, animated bath times, and tender book-reading snuggles. This phase is beautiful, emotional, rewarding, messy and such a sweet one, and I’m so grateful I get to share it with these three.
