Morning lovely friends!!

Where have you been all my life?  Oh wait,  I’m the one who left—so sorry about that! But wow, did we have a wonderful, restful Advent & slow stroll toward Christmas.  We did a lot of fudge making and bread baking and oil using and knitting and in general enjoying each other, even our little Scooter who looks like a gangsta rapper in this photo.  He says, Holla and peace out bro.  Or whatever it is gangsta dog rappers say.

I was rollicking along at a slow and easy pace until the Thursday before Christmas when I it finally dawned on me that the gifts weren’t gonna buy themselves, and although we have scaled it back by epic proportions, we still like to bless our kids with a few things.  Oh well, I work best under pressure.

I hope you enjoyed some sweet memories with your peeps too and a time of reflection on how blessed we are to be loved by a God who would be born into our flesh to die for our very salvation.  What a miracle!

The week between Christmas and the new year is perhaps my FAVORITE week of the year and I’m planning some changes for the blog and working on some fun goals for 2015, including a New Year Wellness Challenge that I’ll tell you more about soon!

And as you might guess, I’ve also been reading because books are my FAVORITE and my favorite book on my nightstand right now is my dear friend Ruth’s new book Living Well Spending Less—12 Secrets to the Good Life.  The book officially launches this Tuesday, December 30 and you are in luck, because if you order it by Monday, December 29th, you get Ruth’s 150 page Home Planner Guide for FREE, which will make your planning and goal setting for 2015 all the more easier!

I interviewed Ruth about the book, also known as, we talked and laughed for 20 minutes and I hope you’ll listen in to hear her heart about this book and what she hopes it will mean for you.  Watch the trailer and then get listen in as we chat it up!
