Sharing a few of my favorite things from this week! Happy Friday! Joy's Chocolate Chip Cookies My friend Joy makes the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had!

My 2020 Reading List
I decided to break my year-long blogging sabbatical to share the books I read in 2020. To be honest, I didn't read near as much as I wanted to this year.

Last night I sat and made a reading list for 2020. Between the books waiting for me on my Kindle + the ones sitting in the drawers of my bedside table + the Continue Reading

I'll start with one of my all-time favorite book series, which happens to be set on Nantucket during Christmas. The Winter Street Series ( 4 books) is by my favorite author Elin Hilderbrand. I loved Continue Reading
