gratitude!

it has been a fantastic week and i have so much to be thankful for!

****

* getting most of the christmas gifts for my loved ones made, planned, & purchased {no day before gift planning for me this year - woohoo!}.

* rocking the parallel parking all by myself {and becoming more comfortable driving again in general}.

* the super cold weather, which was the perfect opportunity to pull out my favorite cozy coat and hat!



* our christmas tree. it makes our house smell so dreamy! plus the twinkly lights at night make our home feel magical.

* chai lattes, which i may or may not have kept hidden from the mister. i worked hard to stop my addiction, but it just feels so right!

* my husband making me laugh first thing in the morning by doing an impression of beaker singing muse. [long dreamy sigh...] that guy is awesome!

* the super warm days that came at the end of this week! now i can wear my favorite dress, found at my favorite thrift shop on haight street {dear san francisco, i miss you terribly and you will always have my heart!}.




* 100+ followers! i am thrilled to be meeting so many great people through my blog and i feel so honored that i have so many followers. i love how we can use blogging as a way to spread positivity, information, and friendship. i'm so grateful for each one of YOU!

  1. Which is your favorite thrift shop on Haight St.?? The Goodwill there is a pretty great one, but I'm totally loyal to Crossroads (although I guess I wouldn't call it a *thrift* store--I don't know?). So much good shopping on Haight . . . from second hand stores to Ambiance!

  3. That dress is adorable on you! What an awesome find! At the moment, I'm quite thankful the week is over and that I'm getting through my work at a good pace. I'm giving myself a wee bit of time to have fun tomorrow and I can't wait to get up to LA next weekend!

  7. I worked out every day!

    I made a delicious pasta dish for dinner last night.

    My husband also made me laugh. He makes me laugh every day.

    Pay day 

    The conversation that I had with mom. We laughed uncontrollably at one point. Love those moments.

    I’m grateful for the roof over my head. It’s been cold here and I’ve been thinking of those that don’t have a home and how they make it through the brisk nights.

    Coffee.

    But above all I’m grateful the week is over. I’m needing my weekend right about now.

  9. Aaah, chai lattes... I've given up trying to fight that addiction!

    Love your festive, wintry (for L.A.) outfits and all your little bits of gratitude this week. I can't wait to put up our tree. There is nothing cozier than sitting by the twinkly lights of the tree (so magical, you're right!) and enjoying a hot beverage. Like, oh, I don't know... a chai latte, perhaps?

    Happy Weekend!
