Happy Friday 12/8/23

Happy Friday! How are you? Any exciting weekend plans? We’re headed up to the mountains with the kids to get our Christmas tree (are we the last ones?), frosting gingerbread houses, and making that holiday magic ;) Sure is a fun (and busy) time of year. Wishing you a festive weekend…

A few fun links from the week…

Drooling over every detail of this Kochi home in India, designed by Ryia Jose (aka @kinandkasa) for her parents. Such a stunner.

Curbing clutter: why do we hold mono to things we never use? (Thanks for sharing, Catherine!)

A chicken was missing toes. People sent him over 60 pairs of tiny shoes.

This makes any outfit festive. (affiliate)

This week we shared the second financial post on our new home… the financing we used to buy the new house (before paying it off).

Nana made these gingerbread blondies for the kids the week and us adults liked them even more! They’re worth a try if you like flavorful desserts.

Meaningful gift ideas.

And Time’s person of the year is…Taylor Swift!

This 575-square-foot family apartment is a mix of “cozy textiles and children’s art” and cute as a button!

I’ve been listening to this book all week and am hooked! (amazon affiliate, indiebound)

Have a good one.
