Happy Sunday! Today I'm sharing my happy and grateful list. With the current state of the country (and the world), I believe it's important to remember the things that make us happy and grateful. For me, this weekly ritual is an essential part of my self-care. Also, it's nice to balance out the good and the not-so-great.
1. I don't usually get excited about movies, but I just saw the teaser trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2, and I can't wait to watch it!
2. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! I've already asked the boys what they would like for Christmas, and I've been making all the lists. We are planning to shop for a new holiday ornament (love this tradition!). I'm also planning to go through all my holiday clothes and accessories to start preparing for my staff's holiday spirit dress-up days.
3. I absolutely love the idea of mothering myself. This was such a good reminder.
4. A song on repeat: Hurricane by The Aces
6. I finished reading I Remember Nothing by Nora Ephron and absolutely loved it. Now I'm on a Nora Ephron kick and just picked up a copy of I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman.
7. On Saturday, I went to The Read Shop and tried their Gingerbread Latte. It was so delicious. I also stopped by my new go-to bakery, McEntyre's Bakery, and bought some thumbprint cookies, gingerbread men cookies, ginger bears cookies, and a strawberry cream cheese croissant. We devoured the thumbprint cookies. I may have to start making these at home, especially since it's cookie season. For the holiday season, I may try to make a different type of cookie (maybe a cake or some pastry) every week.
8. We celebrated my baby niece, Vivi's, first birthday and we all had a blast. It was great spending time with my family and seeing my nieces and nephews. I say this every time, but they are growing so much. I can't believe that my oldest nephew will be an adult next year. And now my youngest niece is a year old!
9. Old Navy's Super Cash began over the weekend, and I definitely took advantage of all the sales. The boys needed some new cold-weather clothes (they are growing so fast). I also have my eye on a few pants and joggers for myself.
10. We only have five more days before Thanksgiving Break begins, and I'm so excited. I'm ready to spend time with family, eat delicious food, watch a couple of movies or shows, play some board games, and rest.
What made you happy this week?
Thanks for visiting!
Until next time...
