Friday Favorites

How has the first week of 2016 treated you? Have you set your goals for the year, feeling motivated to make this an amazing twelve months for yourself, I hope so! I hope it brings you all nothing but great things! Wednesday was the last day we lit our Christmas lights to celebrate Three Kings Day, in which Catholics view as the last day of Christmas {others actually exchange gifts and celebrate on this day}, so you can imagine my sadness not having the tree lit any longer and to somehow manage the motivation to take down all the decorations this weekend. It’s always the saddest day of the year for me, my Christmas lovers, do you fell the same? I’m definitely not looking forward to it…

While I am sad to see it all come down, I am looking forward to get the house clean and simple for the start of a fresh new year. I’ve already gotten a good deal of organizing done, especially all my new office supplies, as well as paperwork and making an even better filing system for all of it. It’s made tackling work this week feel great! Having everything in its order and minimizing the clutter in my workspace has motivated me to get a head start on tasks for events later in this year. Ideas have been surging in my head, and I can’t wait to hit the ground running on all the projects I’ve got planned. I’m looking forward to what this year has to offer, and I thank you for coming along for the ride!

My nine best Instagram shots of 2015. It was a year of love and good food.

A lightly coated carrot cake for a birthday order before the holidays. 

The warmth here in New Jersey during the holidays was my kind of weather, especially when it meant the garden had roses still blooming beautifully. 

My invitation drafting process. 

One of my favorites things to do when the year starts is create my vision board. I’ve got one of Pinterest too, but a visual one I can look at each day reminds me of the things I want to achieve and bring into my life. 

Hope you have a great weekend!
