The Weekly Digest

How is December going for you? I feel like I’m caught it a bit of a whirlwind! I want to slow down and enjoy all of the wonderful activities and traditions we are doing and that we have planned, but the month is flying by and I’ve found myself with a second job that I hadn’t accounted for until late October. I’m not complaining—it’s all good stuff. I met with some designers today, and have all kinds of plans to put into motion, but I found myself chewing my nails to the quick and scarfing down peppermint Jo-Jos with an embarrassing degree of stress-laiden gusto. And none of this has been helped by a crashed computer! (Fingers crossed.)

Somehow we are still keeping (mostly apace). This weekend we’ll have breakfast with Santa, go to a friend’s fancy holiday party (still need to pick out a dress!), and have dinner with friends. I wish we could make it to SF for the Mother Mag Market, but looks iffy. Hopefully I’ll get ahead on some of these work projects. Wish me luck!

Anything you’re looking forward to this weekend? I’d love to hear.

2019 Gift Guides (& Shop Update)

And here are some more suggestions…
