Still Smiling

Yes, it is the last day of November, and I am still smiling from our incredible Thanksgiving weekend!

Now that I have my new camera, I am thrilled to have the ability to take as many pictures as possible. Let's just say the Thanksgiving break was the perfect opportunity to really give it a run.

Here are a few of my favorites:

 fall foliage in Park Slope

 our perfect little view of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

 Kermit!

I heart NY.

 Sunday dinner

 in awe of the stained glass at the Green-Wood Chapel

 
 historic, stunning Green-Wood Cemetery

 clarity.

 just one of the incredible statues at Green-Wood

 serenity.

my joy.

I cannot wait to see what moments, and therefore pictures, December brings! xx JN

12-Days of Gratitude: Day 12

I have so thoroughly enjoyed putting together the 12-Days of Gratitude ... a sweet way to lead up to tomorrow's gratitude feast! No matter where you are, who you're with, or how you plan to spend your day, remember that what you bring to the table literally and figuratively is a contribution only you can make. The word is simply not the same without you and your gifts. xx JN

Happy Thanksgiving Week!

Happy Thanksgiving Week! Even though we are already hearing "Jingle Bells" in the background, this really is the ultimate week to celebrate Fall, harvest, abundance and gratitude. (Alright, and pumpkin pie!)

Once the dishes are cleared from the table on Thursday, our entire world will shift to St. Nick, gift receipts and wrapping paper. It becomes a countdown to the end of the year.

But this week, let's remember that without Fall there would be no Winter. Without Fall, there would be no change. Without Fall, there would be no future growth. It is the season of transition. So let's salute it together, and then welcome in the next chapter.

Here's to a very special (short) week!
