Maxine was truly blessed this Christmas and received many amazing gifts, including many crafts. Seeing her (and my husband for some) putting everything together pulled on my heartstrings.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day was spent with family.











This year, I didn’t get a chance to decorate and go out as much as I wanted, but I still tried to be festive.







This holiday season has been an absolute blur; it went by so quickly. About two weeks ago, I went to a Winter Wonderland party at the New York Junior League with my husband and daughter, and we got a chance to have a moment with Santa. We had the best time, and it was our first holiday event this year together.












Last week, I attended Holly and Ivy at the NYJL. This annual event includes a festive lunch and a shopping experience. It’s so popular at the League that tickets are hard to get, and I’m glad I got to snag one.
I had a great time with friends and got some cute things for Christmas.








Tis the season for advent calendars! This year I splurged on a few.
I got my daughter a unicorn-focused one with jewelry and toys.


My cats are sharing one filled with toys.


I splurged on a whiskey one for my husband. Bonus it came with two glasses 😉.




Since I’m looking to learn how to crochet, I got myself a Wooble advent calendar, and I’ll be crocheting cute little animals 🥰.



Are you an advent calendar fan? What is yours?
As Thanksgiving weekend closes, I want to take the opportunity to share what I’m thankful for.
