love your heart out

It really is the most wonderful time of the year, isn't it?

My love and I hosted Thanksgiving this year in our new (to us) home. My heart filled with so much joy as our family filled the cozy spaces.
Mama stayed overnight so she could help/guide me and it was so wonderful to wake in the early hours of the morning and begin preparing for the feast. The twinkle lights, the coffee, the togetherness, the quiet. It was wonderful.

We discovered that on our quiet dead end road, there's a U-cut tree farm (!!). The day after Thanksgiving, in the pouring down rain, we searched for our perfect Christmas tree. I do think it will become a treasured tradition.

I felt so much love + support from you all during my big holiday art sale! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. <3 I love turning up the music, sipping on something delicious, and packaging each of your orders with love.

My love was able to make it to his first ever doctors appointment with me, and when he heard our baby's heart beating I watched him fall in love. I'm holding that moment close. In just a few weeks we find out what we're having! (I'm totally feeling girl vibes, but we will see!).

I hope you all are finding the good + loving your hearts out.
