Mom Life with Adrienne

 Hey loves. I am back for week two of the gratitude challenge. Every year for the past few years I have done some sort of gratitude challenge in the month on November. With all the craziness of the holidays and the world we are in right now, taking a few minutes everyday to really be thankful for what we have or are experiences is so important. 

 Hey loves. It's Friday. We have a date night tonight, kids are having a sleepover, and a more relaxing weekend. 

Time for some Friday Favorites with these lovely ladies: Erika, and Andrea.

Hey loves. How is it already November 12? This month is flying by. Thanksgiving will be here before we know it then all things Christmas. I wanted to share my goals for November. Keeping it simple with so much going on already, don't need to add to extra stress and anxiety if I don't need to. 

   Hey loves. I am recapping our Disney World vacation that we took the end of July into the beginning of August. We spent a wonderful week down in Orlando, Florida at Disney World. This trip was extra special because it was my 40th birthday trip and we went with another family. Be sure to read Day 1 and Day 2 and Day 3, and Day 4 and Day 5 and Day 6 if you missed it. We are onto day 7,  our resort hopping day and more relaxed if you can really say that about a Disney vacation. 

Let's start the recap. The plan is to go day by day, but some days maybe broken into two parts depending on how long they are. We had a busy 8 days with 6 days of parks with park hoping, resort hopping, and more.

Hey loves. It is hard to believe Christmas is 44 days away. My kids every morning ask Alexa how many days until Christmas. To say they are excited is an understatement. They have already started asking when their Elf friend, Gusgus and his friend Snowflake are coming back, wanting to drive around and look at Christmas lights, decorate our house, etc. The happy memories, the twinkle in my kids eyes, the excitement for Christmas brings my children and me so much joy. 

Since I am not allowed to decorate until after Thanksgiving (one I live with a scrooge, two we host Thanksgiving for over 20 people and we don't have the space for 3 trees, a long formal dining room table, and all the things) I try to have as much done and/or prepped before Thanksgivings so we can relax and enjoy the holiday, as well as the crazy schedule that comes along with it. Here are some planning that you can do advance.
