Hello, all! This has been a bit of a month for me- I've had so much gone on: some changes in life (ie: family moving), doing holiday baking by myself (mostly by myself), and just doing too much sometimes (ie to-do lists). I just hate when I feel this way but this month ended better than it started- just to clarify- not everyday has been bad- it's just a 50/50 mix of good days & bad days. It's completely okay to feel a lot- this holiday season can typically be a lot for people. And that's okay! No judgments here! With all of that being said, let's get into what I've been loving this month.
Also, how is 2022 this week? What? So weird!
Now for real, let's dive in.
Favorite Song This Month:

"Damn It Feels Good To Be Me" by Andy Grammer- such a fun, upbeat, sassy tune! Love it so!
Coffee Drink:
Vanilla Cardamom- Iced w/ Oat Milk or Cold Foam Cold Brew from The Lobby Coffee Bar in Huntingtown, MD- they describe the drink: French vanilla syrup with aromatic cardamom bitters- it's been one of my fave coffee drinks this month- highly recommend and it's not too terribly sweet for someone like me that hates sweet coffee drinks.
Herbal Tea:
- Visiting family in Virginia- got takeout one night (another night my uncle made venison- which I was iffy about- and steak- which I liked better anyways), found a fun gift exchange while I was up there too, watched Christmas movies (watched "The Holiday" & "Charlie Brown Christmas"- one of them I've seen, the other I haven't), played games, and went to church that Sunday I visited then grabbed lunch & shopped a bit in Target. The simple things are the best!
- Christmas Day At Home- we had plans to go away but it ended up changing and I couldn't been more happier to stay home for Christmas. We opened gifts & stockings (I received an absurd amount of gifts & stocking stuffers- some of them are bath products- I see bubble baths more in my future). Had spaghetti over meatballs & sauce with salad & bread as our Christmas dinner. The best part of the whole thing is not having to rush to go up to where we were supposed to be going. Not overwhelming ourselves too much and strangely felt more relaxed being at home for Christmas too. Even finished up a gingerbread row house (a set found at Target)- came out so good!
