It’s a long weekend, which for many folks means hitting the slopes or if you’re really lucky, jetting of to someplace sunny and warm. We’re staying home. And, I couldn’t be happier. No long lift lines. No airport stresses. Just me and my peeps taking it easy at home.
I have really been embracing the beauty of being. at. home. Especially during these cold and dreary winter days. Luxury to me means lighting a fire and playing a game of chess or backgammon (my husband beats me every time).
Savoring something warm…to drink, to eat, to wrap up in.
Wherever you are this weekend, give yourself what you need. And, if you’re at home, treat yourself like you would your favorite house guests. Use the good soap. Light the expensive candle. Open the really good bottle of wine.
No one deserves it more.

You are spot on! I think that January is for enjoying being at home especially after the hectic holidays. I too am loving building a fire, getting my needlepoint back out, reading lots of books, oh and opening the good wine! Enjoy your stay cation!
Love my lazy weekends at home. Hopefully all 3 of my boys will be here tonight, doesn'T happen often but when it does I am one happy girl!
Enjoy your time together:)
Amen!Love a quiet weekend at home.
Yes, yes, and yes! Sounds like my kind of weekend, Elizabeth. Always light the good candles and drink the good stuff! We're at home, too, although this will be the first time since returning from our ski jaunt that we have a few social events on our calendar. I've been totally hibernating the first two weeks of the month and it has been nice and cozy. Looking forward to wandering out of our little cave and seeing friends, though.
Hope your weekend is everything cozy and wonderful! XOXO
Hi Elizabeth,
YES to lazy weekends! It's that time of year when if feels good to stay inside, soak in the tub, read a book, and prepare a hearty meal.
Enjoy your day! xxleslie
These days, time with the family at home is a luxury for sure. I hope you enjoy the weekend!
Oh, what long weekend, is happening at your end of the world? I think our next one is probably Easter. My other half works at weekends but it's great to snatch a few hours together in the evening.
Great ideas here! I'm feeling warmer! Many have mentioned reading.. One of my favorite novels for 2014 was "Me before you."
Elizabeth, perhaps you can recommend some faves & ask others to do so as well?
Stay warm,
Elle
Happy New Year Elizabeth! So lovely to be back and see your beautiful blog. We are the exact opposite here…. with 38 degree celcius days and thunderstorms at night! I love weekends at home too as you can take the time to enjoy everything and make time to savour what we strive to create. I will definitely be opening the wine but may opt for a swim instead and a BBQ! best wishes Frances xx
We so agree, Elizabeth, especially having spent last weekend on our feet selling at our booth in Atlanta. We're taking it slow and easy and yes, a good bottle of wine is in the plans. Hope you treat yourself, too!
xxoo
