Hello Monday! Chelsea here.

I know I’m not the only one thinking it, so I’ll just put it out there: this is going to be a long week. There’s something about the way time moves before the end of the year that just feels impossibly slow. But instead of getting annoyed by it, I’m going to use this slowdown to do some winter planning. I really want to take advantage of exploring during the cold weather this year and I plan on doing that, at least partially, in Hocking Hills. And nothing says cozy getaway in the hills quite like a stay in a tiny home.
