Life lately

I know it is the saying of the season, but this year the holidays came up way too fast. I always have an image of finishing all of my shopping ahead of time, baking for every friend, family member, and acquaintance in my life, and hosting a few cocktail parties in between. After realizing that in a few short weeks I'll be heading home to Los Angeles, my grand plans were quickly shortened to one day of baking, a weekend of shopping, and an acceptance of Christmas blues. A much needed journey through the photos I've snapped these past weeks was just the thing I needed to point out that the season has been full of fun memories, little things that make the day prettier, and even some time spent decorating the house.
