Hello There, November

{Lounging with my boys}

It’s November, which means the holidays are just around the corner and only two months remain until 2014.  How in the world did that happen!?!  The busier we are, the quicker time flies, which is a good thing and a bad thing at the same time.  I’ve had a difficult time slowing down lately with my new job, upcoming vacation (we leave tomorrow - eee!), wedding planning, and now we’re all about to get swept up in the impending holiday flurry.  These are all great things, so I’m not complaining one bit.  But I recognize the importance of slowing down, taking breaks, saying ‘no’ every once in a while, and enjoying time alone to relax and recoop.  So this past weekend I made it a point to take a break from it all and capture the little things that ease my body and mind, if even just for a bit.
