So if you don’t know, I work full-time as a graphic designer at a communications agency in downtown Grand Rapids. I spend my 8-5 behind my desk at the office, but sometimes I love to get out and work from a local coffee shop to mix it up a little bit. Usually I’m working over my lunch hour on the blog, so hitting up a local coffee shop is a great way to get out of the office and still be in a community of people. Working from home is always great too, but I definitely get distracted with chores and television, so heading somewhere to focus is always a good idea.

Moving onto... winter! I'm excited. Thankfully we had an awesome autumn, and it lasted all the way through November. But when December hits, I'm ready for snow, winter, and holiday cheer! We ended up chopping our tree down right before the snowy winter wonderland hit. It was nice for the convenience of chopping down a tree, and hauling it around, but it's always so pretty when it's snowy outside. Every year, we drive out to Hart Christmas Tree Farm. It's our tradition now, so I can't imagine going anywhere else. They have so many different types of trees to choose from, and you can either get one pre-chopped, or head into the fields to chop your own! We always chop our own, of course. It's way more fun that way!
