The holidays are almost here!
Hi everyone! Going a month between sending these out seems like a lifetime. I hope you all are doing well and are taking moments to rest as we ramp up for a busy holiday season. I’m sure none of us intend to be so busy, but it seems that everyone in the family has an event, party, recital all at the same time. While my calendar is very full, I also want to remind myself to let my heart be full too. Full of gratitude, love, generosity. Too often I get distracted by things that do not matter and I’m going to try my best to take things in and really relish this time of year. I hope this holiday season is filled with wonderful experiences and heartwarming moments for all of you!

Treasure Coast Stylist is Back
Before becoming a mom I did a bit of styling here and there and have really missed it. Now that my girls are a little older, I’ve decided to relaunch it. If you or someone you know needs a little closet refresh, a shopping buddy, or have an upcoming event to shop for please reach out. Mention that you read about it in my newsletter and you’ll get 15% off any service booked now through January 1st! Tell your hubbies too – could be a great gift if you don’t know what to ask for!
Cute festive printables.
A fellow local mom and creative just launched the cutest festive printables on Etsy! I’m a big fan of her Christmas Bingo Sheets and these cute wish lists. She’ll be adding more fun stuff soon, so save her shop to your favorites!

Jenn Eats Goood:
Budget Grocery Series
I have been a fan of Jenn’s budget grocery series for a while and her quick and easy meals are saving my life right now. She just launched a new budget grocery series this week and I can’t wait to try the recipes.
Some family favorites from her archives:
Sheet Pan Chicken Sausage & Fall Veggies with Tahini Sauce
Hidden Veggie Spaghetti with Crispy Kale
Spiced Chickpea Tacos with Avocado Sauce
*I do find that I always reduce the salt and sometimes omit or reduce the amount of other spices and herbs she uses in her recipes. Just a heads up!
Local Love
New Day Dance Academy
I cannot say enough good things about New Day Dance Academy. Their Christmas production entitled “Come Lord Jesus” is coming up on December 15th and it is one of the most beautiful shows I have ever seen. It’s family-friendly and has such an amazing and encouraging message. Plus, you’ll get to see the cutest tiny dancers there!

Look & Find Books

My girls have been loving these Look & Find Books. I love seeing how excited they are when they find things. We scored two from the Little Free Libraries around town.
Water Bottle with Straw
$17
I love these water bottles because they aren’t super heavy, fit in cup holders, hold up well, and the straw and spout are completely replaceable.
