A moment to regroup.  Seeing all of my parent’s friends was kinda hard. It made me feel like I was at my Mom’s funeral again. 

I wore her sweater and that made me feel happy.

    Carrot cake most definitely is the best cake! I love your homemade wreaths!

    Thanks for sharing, Tracy! Love seeing a glimpse into your cozy life during the holidays – and also all the different ways you channel your mom, from her sweater to Christmas ribbons to loving your family deeply (and feeding them well!). It’s a tough time of year in so many ways, but, as always, you manage to find the light and the magic. 🙂 You remind me it’s worth it to do the same!

  • Courtney

    Congratulations on your dad’s retirement. Hope he enjoys the next stage of his life. The Espresso vanilla liquor is on my homemade gift, list hope I get a chance to make it before Christmas. As always thank you for your inspiration.
