Hey guys! We're off to Chicago but I wanted to leave you with a fun and quick giveaway before I go.

I know that we just got reacquainted with fall and are still doing a pumpkin thing, but that doesn't make the new collection of holiday cards from Minted any less gorgeous. They're celebrating the new line by giving a $50 credit to one lucky Freckled Italian reader. Entering is super easy. Good luck!

I'm back home and only about half-ready to jump back into real life--I can't say I'm too upset about this two day week leading into another long weekend, though! Arizona was a nice change of pace, and although most of the pictures I took were with my phone, I did take my camera out a few times to snap a few decent ones.

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!

It's a little weird to be away from my parents and brother today, but it's beautiful here and I'm so happy to be spending time with Rob and his family. I hope you have a wonderful day, no matter who you may be celebrating with this year.

Merry Christmas!
