I know we’re all feeling it. I’ve never been one to decorate before Thanksgiving this year is just different. We could all use that Christmas magic earlier than ever and this post has everything you need to extend the season longer than ever before. Besides, you know I never miss an opportunity for matching pajamas.

Let’s check in for a minute. How are you? How are you really doing? It’s the big week. Daylight Savings ended. Restrictions are being tightened right and left–have you checked in on your loved ones?

Comfort food has been calling my name since I flipped the calendar to October but finding delicious Paleo, Whole30 or Vegan comfort food recipes takes some practice.

I am so grateful we waited because the weather absolutely made the trip for us. Here are some photos I love and my thoughts on Covid Travel.

I’m so excited to have another post for our ‘Day in the Life’ series today, friends. I created this series to see how women who work for themselves structured their days. Adding motherhood into the mix brings a whole new element of navigating time so today’s post with Mara of M Loves M is such a treat.
