George made this one.
Merry Christmas!
Are you ready? As of yesterday, I think I am.
Today, I had the best time making star ornaments and reading Song of the Stars with my 4 year old's preschool class. These ornaments are so easy to make. It's basically a craft for a non-crafter. Popsicle sticks, Elmer's glue, sequins, twine. Let your imagination run wild.

The older our family gets, there seems to be more Christmas-y details that fall under my umbrella of responsibility. To my benefit, I'm not a holiday fanatic, and I don't try to do it all. This time of year can get totally out of hand, but I have held my ground and made sure to have a lot of normal days.
Here lately, I've been enjoying some great walks. Our weather has been unseasonably warm.
I've been listening a few episodes of this podcast, Slow Your Home. I love the hosts' Australian accents.
I'm all about this tea! I'm seriously crazy for tea because I'm trying to stop drinking afternoon coffee, and I'm cutting out alcohol during the week. It all messes up my sleep.
Speaking of sleep, Stephen and I have been staying up way too late watching season 3 of Mr. Selfridge. I'm loving Jeramy Piven almost as much as I'm loving tea right now!
The last thing on my to-do list today is to finishing ordering items to complete my winter capsule wardrobe. I'm pretty sure this Gap scarf is going to make the cut. I'm all into capsule wardrobes these days.
......
What are you into these days?!
Love these ornaments and hooray for non-crazy Christmases. Love to all the Spooners.
ReplyDeletelove that capsule wardrobe blog - just spent some time cruising around there! And that Gap scarf you linked to is beautiful - I adore plaid. Have you heard about Dressing Your Truth? One of my friends is really into it and introduced me - that has helped me to crystallize my style (I'm a 4 in their system). Now I understand why I've always been drawn to stripes and plaids and NEVER flowered fabric.
