The Little Things

Thank goodness for Fridays, friends, because this week was a rough one. With final projects and exams starting, it’s been a nonstop work fest over here. Don’t worry though, I’ve got some really fun and festive posts for the holidays coming up over the next couple weeks that I know you won’t want to miss. So get excited!! P.S. Did you see my casual winter plaid outfit earlier today? It’s the start of great things to come!

This weekend will be a slow one, as I’ll be cooped up in the office working on finals. The highlight will most likely be getting to sleep in to 8am tomorrow (#gradstudentlife). And while I’ve had my head down in books and codes this week, I was still able to make time for for a few of the simple pleasures in life. And they’ve made all the difference. I hope you have a fantastic weekend! Here are a few of those things that really brightened my days.

— The sweetest cherry pie with a little dough heart. —

— An afternoon stroll around the frozen pond. —

— Evergreen tree tops and gloomy winter skies. —

— The teeniest Christmas ornaments. —

— The best Carbonara I’ve had since Italy. —
