Greetings!

Well as you can see things have been a bit busy around here - we welcomed our daughter Norah 1 month ago today - time is already flying! She arrived ten days early and we have been enjoying her ever since!

Overall she's a very mellow baby who is a good sleeper and eater....important things these days! I'm looking forward to a quiet winter ahead spending my days with her so will be working on a limited basis.

I got teased a bit because the day she arrived (she was born at 10:51 PM) I instagrammed a photo about scheduling blogposts for December and January. Well the good news is that I did so this e-newsletter contains more than just pretty pictures! Read on and have a wonderful wonderful holiday!

Take care,

Amanda
