i’ve taken to making all things cozy.
tea on fridays with audrey.
homemade soup as often as possible.
a couple new blankets that are so so soft.
i’ve even found myself listening to a crackling fire playlist because i adore the sound so much during winter!
jason got a position in november working mostly from home so it feels like the epitome of being snug as a bug in a rug :)

a friend shared her grandmother’s personal history with me – a gorgeous 3 volume book set that has images for each year of her life, a drawing of her wedding gown, a hand drawn ‘memory map’ of the neighborhoods she lived in (that did me in!!) and so much more. i fell in love with this thoughtful woman i’d never met and i’ve been contemplating how to create something similar. i came across these writing prompts and outline that will help. do you see older family photos and just want to know more? me, too!!

a feel good something you can watch with a kiddo if they’re under the weather. i’ve only seen this episode but it was adorable and i’m pretty sure it had me smiling bigger for 3 weeks!!
