I know Christmas is over, and it’s 10:45 on Friday night, but have you seen this yet? I wanted to share it, and put it here for me to come back to for all the Christmases to come.
My favorite holiday song ever and this rendition is I N C R E D I B L E. GOLD, honestly.
And goosebumps! All the goosebumps in the world.
{A double fist-bump for Boston. And the people who made this magic.}
Haven’t done one of these in awhile, but I’m a big fan of SBQL {started by Jenna!}…
For your Friday. ♥
A song. // From this Valley, The Civil Wars
A book. // This History of Love, Nicole Krauss
A quote. // I saw this on Pinterest and it spoke to me.
A look. // Her. Love me some Natalie Holbrook.

I feel like I’ve sort of got my life together lately. In a more-together-than-two-weeks-ago kind of way. I’ve been feeling good vibes at school. I’m mastering the meetings and feeling settled into my routine. Second grade is so UP and DOING! Like, let’s do this everybody! Math and Reading and Science and Social Studies! Yes, let’s DO THIS! {Also, WE GOT THIS!} At home I’m keeping up with the laundry and dishes. Picking up the house more often, which inevitably keeps me in a better mood. AND I already have the coffee pot all set and ready to go for tomorrow morning, so there’s that, too. It might seem like such a little thing, but to me it is HUGE.
Outfit? Picked out.
Lunch? Practically packed.
Just all around more on top things and feeling pretty solid about it. Not perfect, but who is?
Are you up to anything special this weekend? I’m just going to be enjoying fall in Boston. FINALLY. DREAM! The weather has been just my cup of tea. Remember the end of the fall last year? Snowy disaster. This sort of October is much more my style. This is the kind of fall I could look forward to. But of course, this IS new England so I better not hold my breath. Who knows what’ll happen over the next few weeks. {I dread.}
I think on Saturday I’m going to check out this place, most recently toured by Rachael.
And maybe another round of esplanade fun via my two wheeler. Could be awesome.
Weekend, weekend, weekend! I have been waiting for you!
I made this pretty photo from my instagram feed into a new print.
{thanks for the encouragement.}
You can listen to the song {a favorite} here.

I have been humming this song in my head for weeks. It’s one of those feel good melodies that you can just take with you wherever you go. When I listen in the car, I press the back button at least three times, each time, maybe more. I just love the words. So reassuring, I always think.
Sunday I strolled through Beacon Hill in the rain. I went out to brunch with friends, one of those, I-could-have-stayed-all-day brunches. You know the kind— so good for the soul. And then, I walked through the rain some more. I don’t usually love the rain, but I did on Sunday. On Sunday, the rain was beautiful.
I hope you had a beautiful day, too.
Linking up with Jenna again, because I love it.
