can I give you guys a challenge this holiday season?
enjoy it.
that’s a new idea, isn’t it!? haha

don’t just do things because Pinterest or peers say you should. do them because you genuinely want to and they bring you peace and happiness.
it is so easy to become consumed with expectations, Instagram-perfection and completely miss the heart of the season.
