| on the way to the post office with our holiday cards |

Happy Fri-yay! I’m so happy to begin this weekend because it means that we are getting closer and closer to Christmas. Our children are literally counting off the days with the sweet help of chocolate advent calendars. I’m feeling really organized this year because our holiday cards are in the mail and I’ve gotten all of my Christmas shopping done. I made a commitment to myself that I will not be wrapping gifts at 2am on Christmas morning (like I do every year) so I will be spending time this weekend getting all the toys wrapped and secretly stashed away.

For my Connecticut readers, I’m teaming up with a fellow blogger for a festive live TV appearance! The gorgeous Nicole from The Green Robe, and I are doing a segment on News 8 CT on Sunday morning. Our segment is all about entertaining during the holidays! Nicole will be showing us how to set up a self-service hot chocolate bar with delicious ingredients, like marshmallows, whipped cream and caramel sauce. I will be taking on my favorite beverage and setting up a “Bubbly Bar” with prosecco, fresh fruits and sorbet. If you are up early, we’ll be live at 7:15am!

Have a wonderful weekend xo
