Welcome to the Friday Finds – 01-10-2025

How are you holding up? It seems like the post-holiday blues have hit harder than ever this year. Since Christmas, our house has been a revolving door of sniffles, coughs, and endless cups of tea. I’ve even heard folks dubbing it “Sickmas!” Between RSV, colds, flu, and the dreaded Norovirus, it’s like we’ve all been caught in a germ tornado. But hey, here’s to hoping that we’ve paid our dues early and that 2025 will be a year of vibrant health for all of us!

Now, let’s shift gears. Whether you’re curled up under a cozy blanket, trying to dodge the winter bugs, or simply looking for a little inspiration, I’ve gathered a bunch of goodies in this week’s Friday Finds to lift your spirits. If something sparks joy or brightens your day, don’t be shy—share your thoughts in the comments. I love hearing from you!
