The first week of the new year always leaves me feeling conflicted. In some ways I'm ready for the fresh start, excited to get back to work, and am relaxed after so much time off. But on the other hand, I get sad the holidays are over, that my parents have returned home (after staying with us for a week and a half), and that I can't keep approaching each meal as though it's one big celebration. But I've been trying to look for the little things that get me feeling excited for this slightly awkward time of year: Sloan's 3rd birthday that's a month away, some of my favorite tv (The Bachelor, awards season, and the winter Olympics!), and an international girls trip in March. Here's to making it through our first week of the year and to really great things to come in 2018! x

The beginning of this week was rushed since I left on Wednesday for Toronto, so it meant I still had to get everything done, but in three fewer days. It's funny how sometimes when you're crunched for time, that's when you're most productive (perhaps that's just my procrastination ...read more
