Happy Monday everyone, I hope you had a great weekend! Jon and I enjoyed a truly magical overnight to Rockport; our first kid-free trip together since well before Violet was born! I'll have more to share about Rockport soon, but meanwhile, following suit from Thanksgiving week, I'm sharing a combined weekday + weekend roundup today to aid your planning if you're in town, and also so I can hop off the grid later this week. Enjoy!
