30 Days of Thanks

Saturday Thanks

I hope no one will be too sad if I skip Saturday Surfing this week, but we had a busy, busy day starting with Nora’s 9am dance class and ending at a little after 9 as we waved goodbye to our friends after another awesome potluck, and I am exhausted.

Today, Nora and I entered (and won!) a cranberry cook-off(with my Nantucket Cranberry Pie recipe), we attended a fairy birthday party, and hosted an Indian potluck in honor of Diwali. 

We had a wonderful if very busy day, jam-packed full of friends and food, which was exactly what I needed after yesterday.

Today I am thankful for our friends and the wonderful community we have built on island…our family away from family.  …And I am about to be thankful for my bed, because that’s where I’m headed!  More photos and details tomorrow.

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.
