Grateful to be inside with all the hot tea a girl could ever want.

Took things slow this weekend, stopped to smell the roses, and photograph the trapped and deflating balloons. Lots of early morning power yoga, relaxed friend time and quiet evenings at home with good food, music and my favorite companion.

I’ve been thinking a lot about a solitary vacation this year, something about it really intrigues me. When my yoga instructor mentioned a yoga and cooking retreat in Italy this May, my ears definitely perked up despite being drenched in sweat, holding bridge.

This year we decided to visit our families down in Florida for the holidays. Lucky for us, we left just before the first big snow storm of the year in Boston, and missed the blustry weather altogether. The 60 degree weather in Florida may have seemed cold to the locals, but we loved being able to leave the house without spending 10 minutes wrapping up every inch of exposed skin in jackets, scarves, mittens, hats, wool socks, fleece lined tights…Yeah, it was good.
