Well if it wasn't 2020, then our view would look v Well if it wasn't 2020, then our view would look very different right now. . .think a snow covered forest, a crackling fire, and lots of family snuggles â˜đïļ This year has definitely brought its fair share of challenges - and being away from our families has easily topped that list. . .but, we're just going to keep focusing our energy on all of our blessings + the gratitude in our hearts that a New Year and lots of new beautiful energy is just around the corner ðŸĨ° And that is also my wish for you all as we approach Christmas and the New Year - an abundance of blessings, and a heart filled with gratitude!

After some of your great suggestions on things to After some of your great suggestions on things to do / enjoy before baby arrives, we decided to drive up the coast yesterday morning and hang around Encinitas.  We don't normally head that far North for the beach, but Lord knows we definitely won't once baby is here ðŸĪŠ We got some delicious coffee from @ironsmithcoffee, we tried the famous Leucadia Donut Shoppe donuts, and we walked all over town.  What kind of weekend did you enjoy?
