Hard to believe this time last year, we swapped our usual under-the-tree gifts for a travel experience to Costa Rica.
So instead of Merry Christmas, we said Feliz Navidad and it ended up being just the gift we all needed.
If you are considering trading in presents for passports, check out this weeks blog and get all the details of our holiday getaway.
No matter where you celebrate, I hope you have a joyful holiday season!!

A little round-up of the week…it flew by but fun to recap.
Packed in a work trip, started decking the halls, and am counting down to some much-anticipated time off with family soon!
1. Visited my amazing sister & brother-in-law to celebrate her birthday 🎉
2. Decorated (okay, mostly ate) sugar cookies at a fun holiday work event.
3. Had an incredible dinner at Daniels Broiler @danielsbroiler in Bellevue—the peppermint ice cream was so good it might have stolen the show!
4. Went on a boxwood wreath hunt…spoiler alert: 2024 is not the year for boxwood in the PNW. RIP my vision.
5. My super-talented friend @melissanelsondesign came to the rescue to help deck the halls. 🙏 Thank you M!!
6. Secretly wishing I could trade places with Mia, who was living her best life working at the Whistler Film Festival this week.
Cheers to a great week ahead!

Truth be told, I love New Year’s Eve—it’s the perfect mix of reflection, celebration, and an excuse to eat snacks past midnight 😂
Pulling this blog post together was a blast, even if NYE is still about a month away. What can I say? The planner in me is ready to ring in 2025.
New Year’s Eve has a way of sneaking up on us (kind of like that last-minute errand you forgot to run), but don’t worry—I’ve got you covered.
Check out this top 10 list for fresh, family-friendly ideas to inspire a night of laughs, memories, and maybe even a little peace as you welcome the new year. Cheers to that!! 🎉
Any other fun ideas you would add?

Speaking of gratitude….this week on the blog, I’m sharing a simple, five-minute practice that’s helped me (and even my kids!) build a habit of gratitude.
This quick exercise not only sets a more intentional tone for the day but can also add a boost of happiness and can get you out of autopilot mode (just going through the motions each day).
Whether you’re a fan of pen-and-paper journaling or prefer a digital option, this method is easy to fit into even the busiest schedule.
Curious how five minutes can make such a big impact? Check out the blog at www.careerinsightstudio.com and discover how to add a little more gratitude—and positivity—to your day.
Who knows? It might just become your new favorite part of the season. 😊

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! 🍂 Ours was a little different this year, but still full of gratitude.
The kids were together in Vancouver, BC (Dylan couldn’t pass up the chance to visit his big sis in college).
With just the two of us at home, we skipped the big traditional meal and opted for turkey tacos instead 😂
Quick, easy, and no mountains of dishes—definitely a win in my book!
I also got to spend time catching up with my talented friend and blog contributor, @juliechase, which was such a highlight.
And the best part? I received the sweetest news on Thanksgiving: the dog we fostered, Chastidy was officially adopted by Kim and Roman, the amazing fosters who took her after us. They shared, “She has found a permanent place in our hearts and home.” 🐾💛 I cried happy tears when she shared the news.
Grateful for good food, great friends, and happy endings 🙏

The holidays are just around the corner, and so is gift-giving season!
I love a good gift guide so here’s one that I put together with help from a few of my lifelong (and very thoughtful) friends. Thank you Erika, Steph, Jen & Janet! 🥰
