Freeform Friday

Congratulations! You somehow made it though this grueling work week! Or is that just me who had a looooong week? Anywho, we're excited to enjoy some much needed time off. After a marathon of holiday parties, we're spending a quiet day at home on Christmas where we'll say in pajamas until noon and enjoy our new toys, books, and movies. I hope you have a lovely weekend and holiday, and I hope you enjoy my favorite links from the last week.

We're celebrating my husband's birthday this weekend by heading to Detroit for a night to catch a game and enjoy the outdoor holiday markets. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and I hope you enjoy my favorite links from the last week.

This weekend we're setting up our Christmas tree and hanging stockings on the mantel, an event my five-year-old has been begging to do for weeks. I'm hoping to sneak away to this indie art show to get some final stocking stuffers, and I'm excited finally go to a cafe for book club that I've heard so many great things about. I hope you have a lovely weekend, and I hope you enjoy my favorite links from the past week.

It's about damn time.

Mmmm. Spoon bread.

I love board games during the winter months, and uur family has been loving this game lately. Here are some more ideas if you're looking for them.
