Bubby and Bean ::: Living Creatively: Happy Holidays + Taking a Break

Happy winter Solstice! Merry almost Christmas! I almost can't believe I'm typing that. Is Christmas really only four days away? I know it's super cliche to talk about how quickly time passes but truly, this season has gone by in a blink. It's been the busiest season of work for me ever (so grateful for this!), we just returned from our trip to Mexico for Robbie's work Sunday night, we had two school holiday parties yesterday, Essley's winter dance recital is tonight and her birthday party is Sunday, then family arrives to stay with us, and the following day is Christmas Eve! This is the first year both of my kids are old enough to really get Christmas, and the excitement level is through the roof! The day after Christmas, Robbie leaves town for work, I join him on the 30th in Atlanta, and we fly back together on January 1st (my birthday), which is quickly followed by Emmett's birthday, then a long (boooo!) winter tour for him with the band.

Honestly, I love being busy, and get sad when things slow down. But I also want to take a breath and enjoy the last few days of the season before it's gone. So I will be taking my annual break from the blog to spend time with my family and catch up on non-work things, starting today. I'll likely still be somewhat active on Instagram, but we won't be back with any new posts here on the blog until after the New Year.

However you celebrate (or don't celebrate!), I wish you the happiest of holidays and a New Year full of joy, love, and peace.
