We may be in the thick of the holiday season right now, but in just a few weeks it will be 2018. The end of this year really snuck up on me! The start of a new year always brings a blank slate and perfect time to make a resolution. This year I wanted to stay ahead of the game and get going on my New Year’s resolutions early.

Whew! What a week. I spent the majority of the last week fighting a cold which doesn’t sound too terrible, then add it a baby… #momlife. But let’s talk about something a little more fun, dressing for winter. I live in Orange County so we don’t have a true winter, but it occasionally gets cold enough here to wear OTK boots and layers.

I cannot believe we’re already a week in to the final month of the year! In a few weeks we’ll officially be in the winter season where our skin gets dry and we get sick. Or at least that’s what happens to me.

The holidays are always a fun time but having a baby this year makes them even more special. Even though Crosby has no idea what’s going on, I like to think seeing things for the first time (like our Christmas tree and decorations) is stimulating for her. Plus she’s in the phase where she’s pulling herself up on everything… so the bottom of our tree is without ornaments.

The past few months I’ve been all about these jeans. I have them in the lighter wash too and swear they’re my most flattering jeans. They’re high-waisted and really slimming… especially when you go with the little front tuck – hello waist line. Plus they’re under $100!

Happy Friday! It’s been a busy week but I wanted to get a post up before the weekend. We had a major heat wave on Thanksgiving, but a few days later it cooled down a lot so we made a trip to the Christmas Tree Farm. Which is actually a parking lot at a local community college – shhhh.
