    Twelve Days of Christmas by Debbie Macomber (from Amazon.com)

    Friendly and bubbly, Julia Padden likes nearly everyone, but her standoffish neighbor, Cain Maddox, presents a particular challenge. No matter how hard she’s tried to be nice, Cain rudely rebuffs her at every turn, preferring to keep to himself. But when Julia catches Cain stealing her newspaper from the lobby of their apartment building, that’s the last straw. She’s going to break through Cain’s Scrooge-like exterior the only way she knows how: by killing him with kindness.

    To track her progress, Julia starts a blog called The Twelve Days of Christmas. Her first attempts to humanize Cain are far from successful. Julia brings him homemade Christmas treats and the disagreeable grinch won’t even accept them. Meanwhile, Julie’s blog becomes an online sensation, as an astonishing number of people start following her adventures. Julia continues to find ways to express kindness and, little by little, chips away at Cain’s gruff façade to reveal the caring man underneath. Unbelievably, Julia feels herself falling for Cain—and she suspects that he may be falling for her as well. But as the popularity of her blog continues to grow, Julia must decide if telling Cain the truth about having chronicled their relationship to the rest of the world is worth risking their chance at love.

    I finished this one last night and it was a nice, quick read if a little too much on the sweet side. But it was a light book to read for the holidays and allowed me to get one more book in before the end of the year. 🙂

    It reminded me of the “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” except a blog instead of a magazine. Since that’s one of my favorite movies, it was incredibly predictable. 🙂

I loved kicking off the birthday celebrations a little early with a delicious dumpling dinner at @sdumpling.sj, with the cousins - followed by The Lion King at the San Jose Performing Arts. The music and artistry are so great in this show ❤️

{218/365} #latepost My 365 project is a little out of order as I focused more on being in the moment than being timely on my grid. 🥰 But here’s one from our Disneyland trip with Malia. She’s sprouted a few inches this summer and is looking so grown!!!! When I call her my “teenager” she glared at me and says “I am not a teenager!” 😂  A part of me breathes a sigh of relief that my little girl is still in there, not rushing too much to be older ❤️

{217/365} Tide pools for the win!  The kids were so excited with the array of ocean creatures at the Glass Beach tide pools.  There was an abundance of hermit crabs - all of which my kids wanted to take home as pets. 😂

We’re back to the regular grind. After such an amazing summer, it was a little but of an adjustment.  Since it was a minimum day, I treated them to lunch and they napped before their after school activities started. That means my job as “momber” driver is in full swing too 😂

{216/365} It’s a wonderful day to learn. Go.  Go learn new things. Ask lots of questions and be kind. 

I’m gonna bask in the quiet for a few hours 😂
