Maybe the challenge this holiday season is that there *is* no challenge.

No goals, no "must do's."

Instead, maybe we simply do what we can, no more.

Let's find moments of sweetness and delight with them and sit with them.

Let’s hold them close.

Instead of taking photos on our phones, we'll take them with our hearts and we'll commit them to memory.

Let's remember that the laughter, the wonder and the smiles will be interspersed with chaos and stress baking and holiday parties and obligations and conflict and hard stuff.

Picture perfect isn't the goal, friends.

Maybe the challenge this holiday season is that there's *is* no challenge.

Just be.
Enjoy today.
This moment.

I kicked off the holiday season in a gold skirt.

I kicked off the holiday season in a gold skirt.

Is there a better way?
I should think not.

Was quite conflicted about wearing a midriff baring top, but I’m 42. If I’m not old enough to wear it today, when will I be?

Embrace YOU, friends.

WEAR* the skirt.
Burn the pretty candle.
Take the bathroom selfie in the good light.

‘Tis the season. 💫

Ky

*I had previously typed “where” the skirt. I die. Forgive me. I’m tired.

What are you thankful for? What are you looking forward to most at your dinner?

Let’s talk about you, enough about me.

Seriously, please tell me.

I am thankful for you.

I am also thankful for Lila and Vivi who named this squash and this pumpkin.

(This fall duo has been living in their room and is now on loan as part of our festive thanksgiving table decor.)

Love.

Grateful, grateful,
Ky

P.S. May your holiday be filled with ideally-timed dishes, no political chatter and all the mashed potatoes your pants can hold. 😘

It’s so hard to grow up in Cabo.

I hope they realize one day just how cool this is.

Hi. I’m Kylee. I bought this dress for $55

Hi.

I’m Kylee.

I bought this dress for $55 last summer from TARGET and I think it was $55 well spent.

I normally read non-fiction but life is big and heavy and full and beautiful and chaotic right now so I’m trying my hand at a reading fiction book and I am LOVING IT. (Currently reading The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah.)

It's been 3 months since I got Lasik and my life has completely changed. Incredible.

Rob Bell’s, “Everything is Spiritual” recently had me underlining everything. A complete game-changer. Goodbye fundamentalism, hello truth.

I eat 4-6 jalapeño y ajo (garlic) olives per day. Minimum.

Our latest family activity has been watching the Marvel Movies in chronological order. End Game is next. I have a crush on Captain America.

I’m learning that we’re allowed to change and grow.
In fact, we probably should.
We aren’t tied to who we were or who we thought we were.
Instead, we can be who are are… now.
Isn’t that refreshingly scandalous?

(I’ve been taking time to write daily. Writing is how I process and feel. I have so many swirling thoughts.)

I feel like the pandemic delayed so much. It’s like someone pressed pause on life and we all just.got.by.

Now, life is moving forward again.
I’m writing again and feeling again.

It's so nice.

We can sit, read, eat olives, grow out our gray hair and be authentically OURSELVES, friends.

And we can change our minds at any time.

Cool.

Grateful for you all.

Xo,
Ky

It’s been a great few days.

We brought the heat with us to southern CA in NOVEMBER when all we wanted to do was WEAR FALL CLOTHES.

We explored.

We saw new things.

50% of us were vaccinated or booster-ed. (Today 💯 of us have at least gotten our first stick.)

We had food delivered.

We spoke English.

We watched amazing sunsets.

We had our feet in the sand.

We shopped.

We hugged our fr-amily. (Friends who are family.)

We rested.

We laughed.

I love weekend getaways.

Here’s to exhaling.

Ky
