Christmas Prep

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. 


Share Our Lives Reading Habits

Hey loves. Happy Monday. How was your weekend? We had a busy weekend with a church event Friday, Fundraiser Casino night on Saturday, and church, fencing and Browns game on Sunday. I say this is the eye of the storm before the craziness of the holidays but our schedule is already getting packed.

It is time for Share Our Lives link up.  Join DaraJenJoannaSarah, and myself on the second Monday of every month we share different aspects of our lives. 


Meal Planning Monday Week 217

 Hey loves. Happy Monday. What are we eating for dinners this week?

Gratitude Challenge

 Hey loves. I know I don't normally post on Saturdays. For the next few weeks I will be participating in a 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. 

Friday Favorites 11.6.2025

  Hey loves. It's Friday. This week has flown by. My kids had off on Monday and it has thrown me for a loop. I keep thinking today is Thursday. With that, I usually write my posts the night before, well I am behind and posting later on this gloomy Friday morning. 



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