November Mood. Wardrobe filled with winter whites, curling up with a great book in a cozy nook, comfy pajamas, roses in every room, and baking up a storm while the snow falls gently outside.

This month is all about holiday prep, enjoyment, and relaxation. I’m giving the apartment a major deep clean — the couch, rugs, and drapes have all gotten the full professional cleansing treatment and every inch of our hardwood floors has been scrubbed. A pile of books sits in my creative studio that I can’t wait to dive into — everything from travel writing to spiritual/inspiration to non-fiction historical reads.

The Sergeant and I are headed up to The Cape next week to get our dose of late fall in New England. Looking forward to enjoying a few bowls of warm clam chowder before year-end.
