Currently December 2022

December was full of some really fun experiences.  I am grateful for all of the wonderful friends in my life. I went to Sea Ranch and Idaho! 

The only drawback to the month was that I was NOT in the holiday spirit this year. I didn’t put up a tree because we were traveling at the end of the month and I didn’t feel like I could trust being away for a week with my cats unsupervised. Huggy has an issue with tree climbing!  I did put up some lights in my kitchen and mantle to make it festive. To be honest with you, the energy bills in California have been so outrageous the past few months. The energy rate goes up here between 4PM-9PM (prime time holiday magic time!) and heat seems like it’s more important than the Christmas tree.  What a time to be alive! 

Here are some of the pages from my Currently Workbook!
