Winter Reads, A New Magazine Feature & An Update

Hello!  One of my favorite things about this time of year is how the pace of life slows down and leaves plenty of time for one of my favorite things to do- read.  Today I am sharing a couple of the standout books I have read in the last few months.

Clean Slate

I have a confession to make.  I enjoy putting away the Christmas decor even more than I enjoy putting it up.  It has taken me a long time to realize this!  Before decorating for Christmas each year, I pack away much of our regular decor clutter because I know if I don't, Christmas stuff will overwhelm us quickly.  So when we finally pack away all of our Christmas things into our seemingly endless assortment of red and green bins and haul them all into our attic (while my kids complain the entire time about this task), I look around our empty house and take a breath.  A deep breath.  I enjoy the emptiness for a day.  And then I get to start fresh with a clean slate to turn our house back into a home.

Twenty Fifteen

Hello friends and Happy 2015!  Are you recovered from the hectic holiday season yet?  The end of December always feels like such a whirlwind as we get ready to celebrate Christmas with our families in our home in NJ and then leave for vacation in Upstate NY right after.  Vacation was slow and relaxing and just what we all needed.  As I have mentioned before, we have no internet or cell phone service at the house up there and I enjoy the break from it all.  We read, played games, shopped for a used pick up truck for our oldest boy (yikes!), and took lots of walks down snowy trails.
