DEAR SANTA FROM ATLAS

Happy Holidays Finding Arizona fam! Guess what? Atlas, the adorable almost three-year-old has a special message for the man in red himself—Santa! Let's dive into Atlas's letter and get a peek into his toddler Christmas dreams.

Dear Santa,

Merry Christmas. It's me, Atlas, I've been super good this year—ask my mom and dad; they'll vouch for me! I even wrote our Holiday Postcards this year.

I wanted to share a few of my most favorite things with you and say thanks.

First off, I love staying busy everyday. From parks, to classes to shopping I just love seeing friends!

Now, let's talk talents. I'm basically a little fish in swim class, splashing and making waves. Dance class? I’m pretty much the star on the Christmas tree over there. And in the kitchen, I'm a mini chef, can’t wait for you to try my cookies my mom and I made.

Okay, Christmas wishes. I'm all about Paw Patrol and Mickey Mouse—they're my absolute faves. Their adventures are epic, Santa! And when I’m watching, Nutrigrain bars are my snack, but only the strawberry ones, please.

Oh, Santa, can we talk about the Grinch? It's my favorite Christmas movie and book ever! His grumpy heart turning all warm and fuzzy—it's the best. I love max! Do you think he likes Nutrigrain bars too?

Santa, I'm turning three in January! So, this Christmas is like a super-duper early birthday party for me as I go visit my Papa and GG in San Diego. I'm even leaving out some milk and cookies for you there so forward all gifts to the beach. Maybe throw in a Nutrigrain bar for Rudolf.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas, Santa! And if you see the Grinch, tell him I said hi!

From Atlas

Isn't he just the cutest? Cheers to a happy holiday season with the ones who bring you joy.

XoXo

ADVICE FOR LOVERS

February, the LOVE month, is here. To get in the spirit at the office I themed this month's company magazine appropriately. Aside from the 2 page spread on crystals, my favorite page is the "Advice for Lovers."  

These 4 quotes really stood out to me because they capture a little of everything. From kissing and making up to sharing goals and ambitions together this advice can help any relationship from 4 months to 4000 months in.

ADVICE FROM RACHEL S.

"Be with your best friend, you’ll spend more time as friends than lovers."

ADVICE FROM ADI T.

"When people show you who they are believe them. You shouldn’t have to convince yourself that their actions and their intentions are two different things. If you SAY you love someone you need to SHOW them. It shouldn’t be a guessing game because love is absolute and you should be too.”

ADVICE FROM PUNEH N.

"Say you're sorry fast. Mean it. Say it once. If you screw up, as you undoubtedly will, man up, own it, and apologize. But only do it once. Make it a good apology. Followed by a really good kiss can't hurt."

ADVICE FROM CARLEY P.

"I think its really important for your sig other to know your priorities and goals for your self come first. to me love is pushing one another to be the best versions of yourself."

THE ART OF A LOVE LETTER

How perfect is that letter? Jose sent this to me after our 44th President of the United States expressed his love to his better half during his final speech as the Chief. 

When we fist met, exchanging notes were a constant thing. Its juvenile, but lovely how a post it would be stuck to my office door and I would leave a reply stuck to his car handle on my way out. 

When is the last time you wrote a note to someone you love? 

There is no RIGHT or WRONG way to do it. Start with a greeting and follow the past, present a future rule. Why is your past so amazing because of this person? What do you presently look forward to everyday because of them? What future do you envision with them? 

Love Letters are the original "Thank You" cards. 

To this day we take the time to write terms of endearment out to one another to find in passing and turn any moment into a memorable one.
