WEEK IN EIGHT PICS...

{Fresh upcoming year called for fresh white tulips for the nightstand... } 

Hi!!! I hope you had a great holiday! I must say that I am feeling quite refreshed right now. Last week was a week of family, food, laughter, reading, going to bed early, waking up late, shopping, movie watching - the works. All of that is why Christmas is truly my favorite time of the year. Lucky for me, I have another week of downtime before returning to the real world. If you need me, I'll be doing more of those lovely things I mentioned above, detoxing, organizing, making a Goodwill run and just getting my thoughts together for this upcoming year - a year that is going to be amazing. I can just feel it... More on that later this week. In the meantime, here are some highlights from my week! Have a good Monday!

{ I'm from the south and I didn't know how to make proper southern collard greens until last week. My mom gave me a little lesson and they were SO good! }

{ Details on my parent's tree...}

{The gift with the pink ribbon included this wallet that I bought for my mom. It was her first ever designer wallet. She loved it and deserved it... } 

{This spinach and goat cheese quiche was our Christmas morning breakfast. It was my first time making it and it was SO SO SO good! My family loved it and I will be making it every year from now on... }

{Oh these cinnamon rolls were a part of our Christmas morning breakfast, too. Grands from the can... They are tradition. }

{We upgraded my dad's Keurig for Christmas, so I with the touch of a button, I had warm, creamy decaf coffee (caffeine and my migraines aren't friends) almost every morning in my favorite mug (now on sale!)... }
