**Christmas Home Tour** {12.18.2024}
Happy Wednesday! Today I’m sharing a little Christmas Home tour. This is just some snippets of my favorite things. Most of my decor is many years old from Hobby Lobby, Kirklands, and some other random boutique shops. Here is a pic of my tree… I’ve got to get to wrapping. These special handmade ornaments are some of my most prized possessions. They are all such favorites, and I love bringing them out every year to relive these years. Just thinking of them now makes me get all weepy. And I also love, love, love all these hand/thumbprint painted pieces. Enough of the sap, here’s a pic of our mantle all…

**Hello Monday** {12.16.2024}
Happy Monday friends!! I can’t believe it’s like mid- December, and Christmas is so close. I’m so excited but also a little sad. I want this magical time to slow down. Like the norm, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. It was a busy one. Bree got these from her neighbor and brought them to share. It was sweet and hilarious. “Ho Ho Ho from your ‘Ding Dong’ neighbor” Addison had a field trip to see the Nutcracker on Friday. I wasn’t able to go, but some of my sweet teacher friends snapped some pics for me. Look at these two cuties.…

**Friday Favorites** {12.13.2024}
Happy Happy Friday!! Oh it’s a crazy, fun time right now. Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. Addison got a new library book. It was a replication of Milo! So cute! We had dance rehearsal practice this week. The girls aren’t used to practicing on a big stage, so it’s always a bit of a learning process before the actual performance. And we stopped by Chick on the way home. Papaw got Addison a donut for breakfast. She had the remnants to prove it was a favorite. My new phone came in, so one afternoon Addison and I were off…

**Let’s Look At… How We Unwind During the Holidays** {12.11.2024}
Happy Happy Wednesday friends!! How’s your week going? Can you even believe it’s already the middle of December! Alright, so let’s get to it! On the second Wednesday of every month, I link up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything. Today, we are talking about how to unwind during the Holidays. This is not as easy. Especially for this Type A, want to do everything magical, Mama. I don’t get to unwind a lot around here…. I feel like once I work all day, I have to play catch up in the evenings. So, there’s not a lot of time for unwinding. I’m trying to squeeze all the fun things and…

**Hello Monday** {12.9.2024}
Wow! I can’t believe it’s already December 9th! I know we are having lots of fun, but I’m going to need December to slow down just a bit. I want to savor this time as much as possible. Like the norm, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. Friday night, Addison had a sleepover. Joey and I went and grabbed some Mexican food, and we were in bed by 9:30. It was wonderful! We picked her up Saturday morning and headed out to do some Christmas shopping. But first, a Starbucks treat was in order. We got some shopping done, and at least got…

**Friday Favorites** {12.6.2024}
Happy Friday!! So happy to be here! Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. Silly Elfie brought double bubble and a Gingerbread house on Monday morning. We completed the night with a North Pole Breakfast! You can definitely keep these as simple or as complex as you want. This year, we were running around like crazy Monday afternoon, so I chose to be simple. Addison is happy with it, so don’t stress yourself out. We all need extra grace this time of year with all the extra duties. Milo wanted some reading time too. Haha! He would not leave her alone.…

**Hello Monday** {12.2.2024}
Wow! We had such a wonderful, restful Thanksgiving break! We had lots of slow mornings, lots of movie watching, lots of creating and decorating! I am sad to be heading back to work but excited about the upcoming weeks. Like the norm, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our week off. I enjoyed many nights and mornings like this. We met up with friends on Tuesday and loved seeing everyone! We enjoyed a favorite lunch spot- The Fickle Pickle! We headed to look at some furniture stores. The girls were not enthused. Caroline & I decided we needed to go back sans kids. Haha! While…
