Happy everything, guys! I can’t believe we’re in the home stretch of 2016. I’m taking it pretty easy this next week. I’ll still be doing a bit of blogging, but things are very quiet with work and such right now, which I’m thrilled about. I think we all deserve some time off and some time to reflect and just RELAX. Am I right or am I right? Tonight we’re having a little slumber party with our niece and one of our nephews! They have never BOTH stayed over together, so this should be a fun (and possibly exhausting?!) one! Then tomorrow laying low and in the afternoon heading to my in-laws house for Chinese food and latkes (great combo, right?! HA!!) and to light candles and open presents with the kiddies. And Sunday will be another low key day, followed by dinner at a friend’s house at night. Whether you celebrate Hanukkah or Christmas or both or neither, I hope you have a really special weekend filled with lots of happiness and love. And enjoy some great holiday inspired finds I loved this past week. Happy happy everything! xo Julie
