Happy 2016, friends! I had an absolutely fabulous week off between Christmas and New Year’s, and I am really hoping I can keep my sense of inner calm and well-rested soul as we get back to “reality” tomorrow – that is, school and work!

Christmas is definitely a whirlwind for us. On December 23, we hold our own little Christmas celebration at home.
