SIMPLE PLEASURES: DECEMBER DELIGHTS 🎄

Fewer than 16 days to go.

Whatever you've got going on in the next weeks.5, I'm hopeful this email will help boost your vibe so you can enjoy each of these days a bit more fully. ✨

I shared a few of my fave things with you in October, and the feedback was lovely.

Let's continue our *simple pleasures* series with notable delights of December.

Here's a peek into what's keeping me anchored in this micro-season full of holiday programs, sporty spice events, tax and party planning, and the usual life-and-biz-y things.

🎄 DELIGHTS OF DECEMBER 🎄

🎶 White Christmas by Kenny Burrell - a vibey instrumental holiday classic (that's how I found it in search via Apple Music!) playing on repeat on our iPad in the kitchen

🍊 Simmering stovetop potpourri as pictured below -- because I don't often use our stove, but when I do... it's to make something we can't even eat ;)

🎁 BONUS: a wide-mouth mason jar of oranges, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and cranberries like this makes for a super simple (delightful + consumable) teacher gift! Search "stovetop potpourri" and you'll find lots of options for printable instruction tags too.

📺 Christmas Cookie Challenge on Hulu with Ree Drummond + Eddie Jackson - started watching this as a comfort show during a very full-on family road trip in Novemblur 😆 Love seeing different interpretations of the challenges, bringing their clever ideas to royally iced life!

❄️ Snowy scenes in the mountain home of my dreams - I keep ambiance vids like this magical forest nook running on YouTube all day.

A delight-full day keeps my inner Grinch at bay.

For the most part.
