Happy weekend! I wish I could tell you something really fascinating and interesting that I’m up to (my tree is up?), but I am actually working most of the weekend as I have a bunch of big projects in the works! What I’m probably most excited about is that on Sunday night I’m hosting 5 of my blogger girlfriends (Mary, Blair, Krystal, Meghan, + Taylor) for a little holiday dinner with West Elm. The tablescape I put together is so gorgeous – I’m really excited to share it with you next week! This was a busy week and I’m excited to sleep in a little bit today.
OH ALSO – things have been crazy in these parts but there are two new videos on Youtube that I haven’t put on the blog yet. First of all, there is this Q&A post that I put together, and then a little video from Thanksgiving on Cape Cod. Check them out if you have a minute!
And one last housekeeping thing! I finally created a Facebook Community Group for those of you who are looking to connect with likeminded friends in your city. I set it up yesterday and we already have over 300 members! This should be an easy way for you guys to connect, plan meet ups, and reach out to other readers if you travel to a new city and want to make new friends. You can join the group right this way (it’s private but I will approve you!)

Love the meal prep tips link! I used to meal prep all the time but have fallen out of habit of it. Gotta get my game on!

First, thank you for creating that Facebook Group. I know you mentioned it was a lot of work, connecting readers but it’s a wonderful group already!
That article on Fear, spot on.
