It’s a busy time of year.
This isn’t news to anyone, but it has finally caught up to me. As a result, an (almost) Text-less Tuesday post. Here’s a bit about what I’ve been up to lately:
1. Another fantastic meal from Push Start Kitchens:
2. A (cold) visit to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens Holiday Lights show:
3. New hair from the fabulous Karen @ Lava Hair Studio. Nothing too funky since I had a client meeting the next day. Just wait ’til February. 🙂
4. A business trip to Farm Links Golf Resort that had me sleeping in an 1800s farmhouse. Alone. It may have been haunted.
Complete with ample reading material in case you left your laptop battery in Atlanta… I’m surprised lightning didn’t strike me.
Not that religious books are bad… but they were literally the only option out of 100s of books in the house.
I did discover the Kindle app and the Pinterest app, both of which saved my life.

I’m 5 seconds from a full holiday nervous break down. (Not really. Yet.)
What fun apps have you discovered lately?
Are you in holiday panic-mode, or are you more organized than I am?
Corey @ Learning Patience says
Ohh…that dessert looks amazing…yum! No shame in licking every last bit off the plate either LOL

I am still in school so I haven’t had too much time to do festive things.. so I’m a little anxious to get out there and do stuff!
I love your hair and I can’t wait to see what you do with it in February!
My favorite recently discovered app = PostSecret!!!!
Laura says
I had no idea that was an app! I’ll be getting that one now – thanks for the tip.
Heather @ Better With Veggies says
Um, yes. We did finally take pictures for the card this weekend, but they are still in the camera, which is not doing anyone any good. Still have Christmas shopping, wrapping, etc – long list building in my head!
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
Looks like a creepy/awesome place to stay! Your hair looks fab no matter what!
Laura says
Thank you!!!
Hayley @ Oat Couture says
We kind of escape a lot of the christmas madness here in Cyprus. I have sent a few gifts but I’m not stressing out over it! I’m definitely not one of those people that sends out like a hundred christmas cards to everyone I know! I just wish I lived closer to my friends and family, I love the idea of little homemade edible presents (thank you pinterest!) as stocking fillers 🙂 Can’t believe how quick it has come round though! Less than 2 weeks to go!! Crazy!
Lee says
Jason is panicking because I haven’t gotten my parents presents yet, but it doesn’t worry me. Although I should probably do it.

I had to double take at the Botanical Garden photos. We have one here and I was thinking you took a drive through it!
Alayna @ Thyme Bombe says
Wow, that dessert looks incredible! What a creepy hotel, the kind you’d expect to be covered in scary antique dolls or something. Your hair looks really cute though!
Professor Vegetable says
Okay okay, I’d rather read an actual religious text and feel inspired than read a book written by someone about a religious figure. I don’t want someone else’s ideas of how I should feel when I am reading something spiritual. I’m with you, I think! LOL!
Also, that pear crepe whatever thing looks so amazing.
No apps, unfortunately….

I am pretty on top of my holiday shiz for once! Alex’s gifts are all on the way or already here, family gifts will be mailed out tomorrow, just gotta get something for the bestie and I’m good to go! One of these years I’ll actually mail out Christmas cards, but not this year! 🙂
Laura says
You just had to rub it in, huh? LOL! I’ll be expecting a card next year. 😛
Mark says
Love the ‘do, LOVE those bright blue eyes like whoooa, giggled at you licking that plate, and I’m sure you’ll handle all this hectic holiday mess with the grace and ease with which you handle everything else, ma’am. 😉 Have an awesome day.
Tiff says
Cool farmhouse! (minus that haunted part) I am a little stressed for the holidays but not much. I was waaaaay more tense before Thanksgiving. Christmas feels like a cakewalk now. 🙂
Laura says
Thanksgiving was a breeze for me (minus the Half). I guess everyone has their season! And now I want cake. 😉
Turtle-speed Runner says
Ooh i’ve always wanted to try a crepe cake. Looks so yum
Laura says
You should! I want to try to make one next.
April says
Your hair is awesome! I am not more organized than anyone so I should be panicking. It hasn’t hit me yet!
Parita @ myinnershakti says
Is the tub a part of the living area?! And thanks for the reminder about the botanical gardens…I definitely want to visit while I’m at home.
Laura says
No – that was the bathroom! It was HUGE.
sarah says
cute hair! And good luck with the holiday panic… it has yet to hit me but I feel it coming!
sportsglutton says
I would have been licking that plate too.
