I at all times really feel a bit of foolish writing about Christmas within the New 12 months. Do you guys even care? However since I took the entire break off to be current with the fam, it’s the one method I can hold my 17-years-and-counting weblog going! So right here is every part we did over the vacations. *Rewinding the VCR tape*

The kid was nestled all comfortable in his mattress
The primary day of break began off VERY enjoyable!
A couple of buddies from ACAC and I went to Keswick Spa for a ladies spa day. Such a deal with to go on a Saturday and never need to be house to satisfy the college bus! I feel that is the nicest and finest spa in Cville, and you may make an entire day of it. We went within the infrared sauna, showered, shared a charcuterie board, and did plenty of enjoyable. All of us received facials!

One other new discover (not nice timing with Dry January!) are these Medley Wine Pouches. They’re European (French / Italian), natural, no sugar added, pure wines that final for 45 days. Every one has 4 bottles in it – nice for holding on-hand for company or taking to a celebration / the seashore / touring / and many others. The white and crimson are AMAZING.
