  1. HI HI HI. how were your holidays??  what did you do?  who did you see?  most importantly, what did you eat??
  2. but also, what gifts did you get/give?? i got a really cool waterbottle from frankie and i'm OBSESSED with writing on it with a chalk ink pen.  obsessed.  i also got a spice organizer from my mom and i CAN NOT WAIT to attack my cabinets.
  3. but i do have to say… this holiday season didn't feel like it at ALL.  i don't know if its because of the weird weather or if its because i was just SO busy or what.  but it didn't feel like christmas for me at all.
  4. also, i'm just slightly (aka – ridiculously) excited to continue on with my everyday life.  the holidays are just so busy and i'm OVER it.  i'm ready to clean my house and meal prep on sundays and eat… steamed broccoli.  because those are the types of things i get excited for as an adult.
  5. have you decided what your new years resolutions are this year?? i haven't officially declared mine yet, but i can't believe its almost been a full year since i've had a soda.  CRAZY.  also, this week would you rather have a new year's appetizer or a new years party drink?  what's your preference?  tellllll me.  
  6. these videos are KILLING ME.  i can't take it.
  7. was there even TV outside of holiday movies this past week?
  8. okay serious question.  i've been thinking about changing up these sunday posts.  they'd still include the random musings i always give, but i'm toying around with including my weekly meal plan (what i plan on making) and my workout schedule.  are you interested in that at all?
  9. GAH. its like crazy to me that new years is only a few days away.  WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN??  But really, tell me what I can't post that'll help you out this year!!

  1. I almost forgot to write this post!  I've gotten sucked into too many Christmas movies this weekend (i'm watching a Christmas Melody right now!) so i might have to keep it short and sweet.
  2. Frankie and I are on Long Island this weekend spending time with his family (which I LOVE). I made monkey bread with his mom and we've been hanging out with his brother and sister and it's just SO nice.
  3. Where are you guys going for the holidays?  What are you doing?  Who are you celebrating with?  We head to Rhode Island on Tuesday and I'm so excited to see my family!
  4. On that note, I told you guys alllll about my Christmas traditions of appetizers on Christmas Eve – this year were a little limited because the stove at my aunts doesn't work.  What are some ideas for things we can bring and eat cold or heat in a skillet/microwave?  Tell me all the things.
  5. I'm thinking about signing up for a half marathon in April… Am I crazy?
  6. Have you guys played 94%?  It's a trivia/family feud-ish game that were OBSESSED with (find it in the app store).  It's a problem.
  7. TV.  I can't lie – I don't think I've watched a single SHOW all week.  I'm in serious Christmas movie mode.  But can I ask what your favorite Christmas movie is?  Mine's The Santa Clause.  But really any crappy Christmas rom com will do. 
  8. A few happy birthday shout outs to Emily, Daniela, and Olivia this week!  Love youuuuuu girls!
  9. I wish I had something super Christmassy to share with you this week, butttttt be on the lookout for delicious everything chicken on Tuesday!  I promise it'll be the perfect after the holidays pick me up!
