A quiet moment of contemplation on a rainy December morning. Little man and most of the family are still asleep, I have my coffee, I’m listening to the rain, and I’m more relaxed than I’ve felt in ages. It sounds cliche when you hear the reminders to unplug once in a while, but it makes a world of difference.

When your son meets one of your favorite characters who is now one of his favorite characters ❤️😍❤️
Starting the day off with a little @Disney Magic ❤️
These sweet treats are bite sized so there’s still room 😊 I made fall inspired cookies this time but it’s just about time to start the great Christmas cookie bake! 🍂🍁❤️
Helping to decorate the tree while the turkey bakes and the pies rest. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍁 ❤️
