HAPPY THANKSGIVING WEEKEND

Happy Black Friday, friends! Here’s to what I hope has been a relaxing and restful holiday weekend. There’s a good chance that as we speak, I’m living in retail chaos 🤪 If you didn’t know, I work in retail so my Thanksgiving weekend always looks a little different.

In an unconventional way, working on Thanksgiving is my family’s version of a tradition. We’ve been in the retail business my entire life and getting ready on Thanksgiving is just what you do. I’m sure there were some moans and groans when I was younger, however I’ve come to love the process as an adult. It’s become almost a cathartic experience. It helps calm the nerves.

I’m a little worn and weary but bright-eyed and excited. We also still manage to always sneak in a few moments of rest and way too much delicious food. This year we ordered Chick-fil-a nuggets and Mac & cheese! I also threw together some pumpkin muffins for breakfast so we had a little work & play.

I hope you also overate too much delicious food and spent time with the ones special to you. I know we’re all busy and for me, the holidays give me a reminder to reflect and remember what’s important. I’m grateful for all of the good things— loved ones, good health, the opportunity to feel the exhaustion and excitement of the holidays. This list goes on. All glory to the Big Man upstairs 🙏🏻

If I make it through the weekend, I’m finishing up A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby and will hopefully snag a few deals and Christmas gifts. Here’s a round-up of my favorite Black Friday & Cyber Monday sales. If you’re braving the crazy out there this weekend, I hope you score lots of deals and treat yourself a little too 😉 Stay safe!

Until next week! xxxx.
