Our yearly reflections & planning

We hope you are enjoying the week between Christmas & New Years!🎄This is the time of year that Ben and I intentionally reflect on the past year and plan for the year ahead. This photo was from Christmas Eve - today is drizzly and cozy, perfect for talking & planning!
