Hey friends! Happy Monday and Happy New Year! And welcome to my new blog 🙂 Creating a blog for our little home, Sherwood Cottage, has been a dream of mine for a while now, and I’m thrilled to finally bring it to life! Here you’ll find posts about homemaking, gardening, hosting, favorite recipes, family, affordable home decor finds, our DIY house projects, faith, and basically all the things I love! So as not to overcommit myself (as I usually do), I’m planning to post a weekend recap each Monday along with something I’m loving (see below!), and another blog post every other week. I’ve got some fun things planned, and I’m so happy you’re here!

Onto this weekend’s recap! We had a busy and festive New Year’s weekend, and even though we planned to stay up until midnight, I think I was asleep by 10 pm. Ha! But it was a sweet weekend filled with friends and family.

On Friday, my bestie who was in town for Christmas came over for tea. My parents hosted a NYE dinner on Saturday for us, and then we had them over on Sunday for a prime rib feast. It was my first time making prime rib, and it actually turned out pretty good! We served it alongside garlic butter mushrooms and roasted Brussels sprouts and broccoli. In between seeing family and friends, I read, started a new needlepoint project, and did a couple Peloton classes!

Miles and I both forgot we didn’t have to work Monday due to New Year’s Day falling on Sunday. So we got an extra surprise Christmas vacation day! We went out to lunch, put away Christmas decor, worked on some house projects, and got in plenty of puppy snuggles! 🙂

Now onto the three things I’m loving this week! 🙂
