Last week I shared clips from our time in Japan and this week I thought I would share some sweet Thailand memories. This video is my absolute favorite... ever! I love looking back on how excited Lorelai was to explore and reliving our mornings waking up to elephants. Enjoy!

At the end of last year, we traveled to Japan (and Thailand... more on that later) and it's taken me far too long to get the video footage together in a way that makes sense. These long-format travel videos are my favorite way to look back at moments that I want to remember for years to come and I think this one turned out so fun. Enjoy

Well folks, that's a wrap for me on 2017! In just a few short days we're leaving on a jet plane and landing somewhere n Japan for five weeks of miraculous vacation. While I toyed around with the idea of keeping up with this space during my absence, I truly feel that there's no better way for me to greet this year than with a totally unplugged, inspired trip to ease some of the roughness that was 2017 and usher in a better, more creative year. I'll return to blogging in mid-January, hopefully with a ton of wonderful things to share from our time away. As always, you can keep up with me in real time on Instagram and I'll still appear on the Glitter Guide a couple more times before we get back from vacation.

Before I mentally check out I wanted to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your support this year. I always marvel at what this small community can do and why you continue to stick by me year after year. It is my pleasure to document life for you and hopefully, in turn, you're able to garner some small bit of inspiration or empowerment. I look forward to a new year with even bigger projects and more realness on the horizon. Wishing you and yours a truly magical Holiday Season and a happy New Year!

p.s. Since there were some things I wanted to write before the new year (like 26 things I learned in 26 years), I might draft them abroad and post when I return. Thanks for hanging in there with me!
