Hi Friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! It was so nice to spend time with family and relax for a bit. How was your holiday? Did you try anything new this year or stick to the classics?

🎬 Getting Ready for a Christmas Party​
I’m gearing up for a fun Christmas party where we’ll be dressing as our favorite movie characters. My husband and I decided to channel our favorite Christmas movie and go as Clark and Ellen Griswold from Christmas Vacation! I’ll share photos in my next newsletter – it’s going to be so much fun!

Have you ever done a themed costume party? Let me know your favorite themes — I might need ideas for next year. 🎄

🌴Travel Updates: Cabo San Lucas & Nepal🏔️
I officially have my trip to Cabo San Lucas booked, and I can’t wait to escape to the sun and sand. It’ll be a much-needed winter getaway!

But here’s the big news: I’m also in the early stages of planning a trip to Nepal to hike to Everest Base Camp (EBC). This has been on my bucket list for years, and I’m hoping to make it happen in October 2025.

If there’s enough interest, I’d love to turn this into a group trip! So, if hiking in Nepal sounds like your kind of adventure, let me know! The EBC hike is challenging but absolutely breathtaking (literally and figuratively). I’d be thrilled to take some of you along for this unforgettable journey.
