Happy weekend! I hope you had the most wonderful Thanksgiving. It was my first time hosting and everything turned out really well. It was so nice to have my family at my house and just be together. It’s a little bit crazy to think that I’ve only been in my home a little over a year (I moved in at the end of last October). I feel so settled in my house and have taken so much joy in hosting, decorating for the holidays, and honing my cooking skills. It brings me a lot of happiness. We will be laying low this weekend. I am a bit tired from all of the Black Friday chaos and am looking forward to just hunkering down at home in my coziest clothes. I hope you have a good one! xx

Hi Grace, obsessed with your weekly list! a small request – can you please please consider adding in parentheses what the publication is for a link when it’s a news source that offers limited articles per month such as The Atlantic, the New Yorker, and NY Times? Thank you so much!
