The Tiny Treasures 8

Why, hello there! Welcome to The Tiny Treasures – a cozy little corner of the internet where we celebrate life's smallest, sweetest moments.

And just like that, November, my favorite month, has come and gone in what feels like the blink of an eye. How are we already in December?! I can't quite tell where the weeks disappeared to – though, if I'm being honest, I know exactly where. Between taking a little breather, celebrating my birthday, and helping my mom navigate the endless paperwork for her retirement, life has been good.

It's been a minute since I've really sat down to write something more personal here. I know the blog has been serving a steady diet of filler posts lately – it's just that writing for myself feels right these days. My drafts are full of thoughts I haven't quite worked up the courage to share yet. But here we are today!

The little things in life – those quiet, tender moments – have a way of grounding me. So here's another small roundup of those heartfelt joys and tiny treasures that have made my days just a little brighter. I hope they do the same for you. ♡

일. Cozy celebrations of all the family birthdays. My mom's, both of my sisters', and mine! It felt like one big warm hug stretched across the weeks, with lots of laughter sprinkled everywhere.

이. Setting up a bullet journal for the first time in forever. 

삼. Sipping tea on a cold morning with brownies on the side. The steam curling up from my cup, the soft chocolate melting on my tongue.

사. The feeling of waking up well-rested after enough sleep. Bonus points for the no-screen time before bed. It's the adult equivalent of winning a gold star at life.

오. Adan showing up at my doorstep with a huge bouquet "just because" was a moment straight out of a rom-com.

육. How bustling yet peaceful this little town feels. It's the way the world moves just enough to feel alive but not so much that it drowns you.

칠. A fully stocked fridge. There's something satisfying about a fully stocked fridge. Is this peak adulthood?

팔. Clean bedsheets and fluffy, freshly laundered towels make me feel like I have my life together. Sunday me is definitely the moment.

구. Finding out Taylor Swift is yet again my top artist on Spotify wasn't shocking, but it was oddly comforting. Like, "Yes, Spotify, I am still in my Taylor Swift era, thank you for noticing."

십. Sisters & Brushes had its final shop update for the year, and we sold out every single clay piece. It felt like a mic-drop moment to close out 2024!

십일. Making plans for next year in the middle of the living room with laughter, snacks, and chaotic energy flying around.

십이. When the fog lifted, and I started to feel like me again. That's a gift no one can wrap – a quiet return to clarity and a little piece of peace.
