Festive and Cozy Weekend

Festive, cozy, and quiet weekends are my favorite this time of year. The weather was meh, so aside from taking Lil' Miss and the pup to the park to run around we cozied up at home. We made our annual gingerbread house which Lil' Miss called her "bringe-iss-bread" house, baked Christmas cookies - Grinch Cookies to be exact, mailed out our Christmas cards, wrapped Christmas gifts, ordered in pizza with extra fresh garlic (I guess it's a good idea we were homebound - ha!), and curled up on the couch watching Christmas movies. Ok that's a record for using the word Christmas in an opening paragraph. 'Tis the season...

I included the recipe for Grinch Cookies on my InstaStories which is super easy, and totally negates my rule of no fake crap in our food. Between the cake mix and the food coloring (only 1 drop thankfully) it's me saying who cares it's the holidays (and still 2020) - ha! And let me tell you it's totally worth it. 

And to switch gears in the biggest way because who talks about beach and pool cover ups less than 2 weeks before Christmas? When I was reached out to so I could give material and sizing feedback on this kimono coverup I was mentally transported to an actual real life tropical vacation. My passport is burning a hole in my pocket, and waiting to come back out and play! Where is the first place you'd like to go once it's safe to travel again? 

I have a short week this week, as I have more PTO to burn off before the end of the year. We're taking Lil' Miss out for more festive fun, and I'm also finally getting my hair done. I thought going back to brunette from blonde several years ago would be less maintenance. Not the case! It ends up fading pretty quick and looking dull, and let's not forget the lovely grays that are duplicating by the day. After my hair appointment, I'm looking forward to a day date with the hubs. Happy week before Christmas!
