Merry Christmas Eve-Eve

Merry Christmas Eve-Eve! How did we get here already? I know none of us can wrap our heads around it, but here we are. As rough as this year has been, I'm still incredibly thankful for all the little things and the health and happiness of our families as we close out this crazy year and the holiday season. I will be unplugging from work and here on the blog until the new year, and want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 

The year started off "normal" with Lil' Miss going to a few birthday parties, going out to dinner, grabbing brunch with friends, activating our annual passes at SeaWorld, and working at the actual office instead of from home. And then March came in screeching everything to a halt. However, there has still been SO MUCH good to come out of this year, and I wanted to reflect upon it before closing it out.

The good things to come out of this past year: 

• Both of us still having our jobs AND the ability to work from home.
• Welcoming a new pup into our home - I can't imagine our lives without Luna already!
• Lots of projects done around the house that we never would have had the time for with our usual hectic schedules. 
• The ability to slow down, and focus on what truly matters.
• Online workouts from my local Bar Method studio and our zoom workouts from our Fitness Director at work. Oooh and yoga!
• Eliminating negativity - ain't nobody got time for THAT! 

• Athleisure and all things comfy on repeat daily - how are we ever going to be expected to put on a bra and makeup every day again?
• All the homemade baked goodies
• LOTS of extra time with Lil' Miss which let's be honest has not always been easy (not even CLOSE). However, it is a time that we will always treasure for years to come. 
• Board games and puzzles
• Lots of swimming which turned Lil' Miss into a fantastic swimmer this year
• Netflix shows and my forever go-to for laughter The Impractical Jokers
• The ability to road trip to amazing beaches in Florida. We enjoyed a weekend in St. Pete Beach and in Key Largo. 

• Daily walks with Lil' Miss
• Supporting our favorite local businesses
• Glasses of bubbles

• Celebrating my birthday with a few of my best girls
• Target Drive-Up
• A work event which we shot on a stage, and streamed virtually to people all around the world. The highlight of said event - we had Tony Robbins as our keynote speaker which was incredible. Since we didn't have an audience, and it was streaming around the world it felt like a private show for those of us working the event.

• Decking the halls in our home which has brought a lot of happy cheer!
• All the cheesy Netflix Christmas movies - just the feel good relaxation I need in the evenings.
• Yummy smelling candles

Now, I want to hear from you - spread some more holiday cheer by talking about all the good things in your life this past year.
