Here goes another year. It’s amazing how time speeds up the closer we get to the end of the year, isn’t it? I know, it’s all perception, but perception also is all we have. 2016 was a pretty good year for me personally, but of course, on a larger scale, 2016 was peppered with some…
1. The only time I ever drink eggnog is when we’re skiing in Italy, but I thought it would be nice to have it during the holiday season this year, because why not? It was a great idea! 2. I got these FILA workout pants on sale and with some Kohl’s cash, because I needed some longer pants…
As this year is coming to a close, I am linking up with Courtney from Eat, Pray, Run DC to take a look back on my year of running. It was a great year for me with only a couple of minor, totally neglectable injuries and lots of fun logging miles! I have been able to…
This was our first official Christmas in our new home. We had the keys last year, but hadn’t technically moved in. (Moving day was the 30th.) While I was bummed that we again couldn’t see family for the holidays this year, I wanted to embrace this quiet Christmas in our own space as much as…

Hi friends, just popping in for some low-key Christmas fun (in case anyone is bored enough to even bother reading blogs over Christmas – haha! – but I know I probably will!)

Trader Joe’s* had some awesome seasonal items again this year. I always love to browse their holiday shelves. They always have a bunch of Christmas goodies from around the world like German Lebkuchen and Christmas Stollen, Italian panettone, advent calendars, fancy chocolate, and quite a few nice non-edible gifts. I bought a couples of things that I…
loving the holiday season. Despite the fact that we won’t be traveling and we won’t be seeing family for Christmas, I always embrace this season and I’ve tried to decorate and make our home as cozy as I can. watching Christmas movies. I am trying to fit in as many as humanly possible. So far…
Wednesday (10/12) we skipped the hotel breakfast, because we had bigger and better plans: brunch at the Fremont Diner in Sonoma. If you have been reading for a while, you know that this place is near and dear to my heart (and to everybody that I haven taken there so far!). We got there around…
Hi friends. Thanks so much for all of you who participated in my first Secret Santa Mug Swap this year. 13 people signed up, which is awesome. I never expected so many participants. Today is reveal day (no worries, if you already shared your mugs on IG – I hardly could contain my excitement…
