I swear this season is flying faster than I can keep up. Between clothing orders, custom gifts, and all the projects I promised myself I’d finish… I really need to slow down and work on my own Christmas items before I run out of time! 😅 On top of that, I’m still battling this severe sinus infection 🤧 and whatever crud has been making its way around school. ’Tis the season, I guess.
Today at least brought a bit of comfort—because I made a huge crockpot full of Stuffed Pepper Soup. 🍲❤️ And not just any stuffed pepper soup… this one was extra special because I used veggies and sauce that I canned myself earlier this year. 🫙🌶️ Let me tell you, it was so good. My kitchen smelled absolutely heavenly all day! 😍
Between crafting 🧵 and keeping one eye on the Bills game 🏈, Bella and I managed to sneak in a few minutes of rest. 🐾 Honestly, I feel like I need about two more full days of sleep 😴 just to prepare for the week ahead. And next weekend isn’t looking any less chaotic! Holiday baking 🍪, wrapping 🎁, finishing orders… the list keeps growing, so I figured I might as well start writing it out now. Everything will get done—even if it takes a few extra days and a whole lot of caffeine. ☕✨
But for tonight?
I’m curling up with Bella 🐶, my soft blanket 🛋️, and absolutely zero guilt about doing nothing else. A little rest is exactly what we both need. 💛
Here’s to hoping for a calmer (and healthier!) week ahead. 🎄💫
