By the end of this week, I will have been on the road for 18 days. I’m down to the bottom of my overpacked suitcase, and I’m running short on clean clothing! So please excuse me as I spend my last few days of “Christmas Break” in leggings and oversized sweaters. Everything else is dirty or a wrinkled mess. ;)

Happy New Year’s Eve, everyone! I know this isn’t your typical look for an occasion like this, but Mitch and I spend every New Year’s Eve at my in-laws’ gorgeous lake house in Bloomington, Illinois–and we like to keep things low-key. :)

In the past, Mitch and I felt like New Year’s Eve came along with a lot of pressure. Pressure to make the night memorable. Pressure to have the time of your life. Pressure to look like a million bucks. Pressure to not feel disappointed the following day. Pressure to do something different. Pressure to somehow make one night representative of a year’s worth of experiences.
