the day my world changed.

instead of stockings, my mom creates "love boxes" for her kids... filled with all our favorite things {snacks and treats i would never think to buy myself at the grocery store, mostly.}

since i was home in san diego for chrismas and served as resident Errand Girl with my mom, i picked most of my own love box goods. 

i spied the mulling spices at the grocery on christmas eve and threw it in the cart. 

and now i'm doing cartwheels and sinking pleasantly into my warm cozy bed with a delicious drink at night. 

mmmm heaven.
