(and apologies for the iphone photo of my display)!

Even though I’m still not caught up on my blogging, it’s time to take a little break for the holidays.  I can’t thank everyone enough for all their love, support & kindness this past year.  It’s been a really nice year.  As my girls would sing (thanks to school):

We wish you a Merry Christmas,

We wish you a Happy Hanukkah,

We wish you a Caring Kwanzaa,

and a Happy New Year!

Be sure to spend as much time as you can with friends & family over the next few weeks and bring in the new year full of hope & peace!

Happy Friday all!  I have to say I’ve enjoyed all the comments this year, way too much fun and I hope you enjoy reading them as well!

For today I have a sweet little gift from Lush.  Their “Secret Santa” gift contains two holiday treats – a star-shaped Snowcake soap and a Lil Lush Pud Bath Bomb (if you’ve never used one of their bath bombs you’ve really been missing out).

Today, I’d love to know your favorite book as a child or one you love reading to your children now.  We are fortunate that our girls LOVE to read and every night we climb in, snuggle and read before bed.  One of our very favorite series (seriously I will be so sad when they don’t want to read them) are the Piggie & Elephant series by Mo Willems.  They are super fast and so funny!

Have a great day and a wonderful weekend!
