I love this time of the year, transitioning from fall to the holiday season. The colder weather, bundling up in warm layers and rainy days. These days I’ve been checking lots of projects on my to-do list. Getting photos printed, framed and displayed. Decorating Audrey’s bedroom and starting our December Daily album.

Usually I’m in a frantic and stressed out (There’s not enough time to get everything done!) state in December. But this year is different. For once (probably the first time ever) I’m calmer. Maybe it’s because I started playing holiday music right after Halloween? Or maybe I just don’t have anything left in me. I feel like I’ve been running on full speed mode all year long and I’m done with that.  I’m looking forward to slowing down and finishing out 2013 at a leisurely pace.
