Holiday Season.

Winter’s almost here!
Good evening, everyone ♥
It has been such a beautiful day in Missouri. It was definitely chilly, but the sun was shining & I could definitely feel the warmth on my walk around downtown. I’ve started thinking about gift-giving for Christmas, and I’ve decided to limit my spending to $50 for all of my gifts. I plan to make most of my gifts. Every gift actually, except for Tori’s (which I found at a crafts fair in Arkansas.) I’m so excited because it has really challenged me to be creative & really spend time on the presents I’m giving. I’ve come to realize that time is more important than money, and the time I spend with my family this Thanksgiving & Christmas will be far more cherished than any present.
With the holidays approaching, the ladies at The Love Nest are in the baking mood. Anna & Katie made gingerbread cookies and muffins along with cinnamon coffee. If you’re craving something sweet, add a tad bit of cinnamon to your coffee grounds & it will cure that craving (it is delicious, too!)

Also, I’ve decided to deactivate my Facebook account for the time being. With my extra time that I would have spent surfin’ the net, I’ve started knitting again. I bought this beautiful deep green yarn today; it is eco friendly- made from recycled bottles.

& something to be excited about- home next Tuesday, Arkansas next Friday.
love,
Natalie
