Here we are at the beginning of 2022! We made it back from our trip to Utah and now we're all trying to gear up for the new week and the new year ahead. I feel like our visit to Utah just went by so fast. We spent our days enjoying being with family, eating [...]
There is something really special about the end of a year and the letting go of one year and looking forward to the next. I love these days after Christmas and before the end of the year comes. For me it is such a reflective and tender time when I look back and marvel at [...]
Happy December Everyone! Roll out the holly- the holiday season is in full swing now with the delights and wonders that only this time of year can bring.
