Finished my first book of the year with another fantastic read from Dave Eggers. Highly recommend, especially if you’re a coffee connoisseur.

This week between Christmas & New Years is my favorite of the year. There’s something about the cozy factor of it all. Reading, watching movies, baking cookies, staying in PJs. It’s wonderful. I bought an online watercolor class yesterday & have been loving it. I painted this this evening!!
