After having spent almost two weeks away from home and catching up on quality time with family and friends in Montreal, Kingston, and Ottawa, we returned to “the Island” late last night.
One of the things that I think of (apart from the reason we celebrate Christmas and the spending time with family) is the scents and fragrances of the holidays. Freshly cut pine, cinnamon, apple cider, homemade baked goods fresh from the oven…The scents just bring me to my happy place!
The Christmas season has been a fabulous one! We really enjoyed our time with the people we love the most. This said, it was an 11 hour drive and as always, too short! Lots of rushing around and it was a crazy busy one for us. Now that we’re back home, it’s time to settle into our regular busy schedules, but this year one of my resolutions/goals is finding time to rest and relax a bit. Even if it’s something as little as having soothing fragrances to help me relax or lighting candles and playing soft music in the background, I need to find a way to make things less stressful.
Thanks to Glade, I’m using the help of Glade’s Winter Collection to bring some of my favourite fragrances into our home.
The holiday season may be over, but the spirit of giving continues.
