Our Brief Holiday Downshift

Oh. My. Heavens. PEEPS.

We are officially entering the downshift, and I couldn’t be happier for this transition!

I have no doubt our upcoming week will end up being busier than I hope (it always seems to work that way), but even so, it will be a vast bit calmer than the past several weeks and I am HERE FOR IT. 

I have grand plans to regroup in general, finish up Christmas shopping, get our Christmas cards sent out, tackle a bit of fun baking, and generally just BREATHE a bit. I hope (I hope).

And I think my kiddos could do with a bit of a slower week, as well.

I mean, just look at how cute everyone was today when we made it home from Chica’s winter choir performance and we all had a bit of leisure time. :)

All good things and chill vibes.

And speaking of good (but perhaps not chill) things: the hubby won this espresso machine at a work raffle yesterday, and even though I was quite perturbed, as this was what I was going to get him for Christmas, I got over it when I caught scent of the first (free!) brew, ha.



Hello, lovely.



And last but not least: a shot of Chica during her choir performance today. It was a pretty massive crowd of parents, so it was hard to snap good pics, but she had a blast and it was happy holiday music, for sure!





Happy Weekend, peeps!

Over and out.
