I am also looking forward to crossing off some spiritual to-dos as well to make sure I am fully prepped for Christmas Day and also heading into the new year.

Today I’m sharing a little weekend rewind! I haven’t done one in a while so here is what we were up to this weekend!

One week until Christmas, ahhh! In all seriousness, I am so so excited for the big day – we could all use some holiday cheer and His Presence to make our lives better!

Friday Favorites – 12.11.20

Whoooaaa hoo! We made it to the weekend! I am dragging my feet this morning as my husband and I board a 6 am flight..yikes! We are so excited for a nice little get away and some warmth, but are really going to miss the kids. Thank goodness we have the most amazing families ever!

Tip Jar Tuesday: DIY Christmas Cards

It’s beginning to look like Christmas around here! As we speak we are getting hit with a winter storm so today, I am feeling those Christmas vibes! We were able to take some family Christmas photos this weekend and I will let you in on a little secret, every year I’ve done them myself. I know they aren’t the most amazing, but for free, I’m loving it!

I have a Sony a6000 camera – I purchased it after our honeymoon and was advised by the sales associate that it takes great quality pics, is very portable and acts as a DSLR camera. Now, would I love a DSLR camera, YES, but this was what I decided to purchase 5 years ago, so we are making it work!

I cannot believe Thanksgiving is TOMORROW! Time has flown! I need to get my house in check and have so many things to do around the house today – good thing it’s rainy and cold – I’m forced inside to tidy it up!

Weekend Rewind: 11/2/20

Hello November and hello Monday! A little late to the game here today, but that’s okay – I’m sure I’m not the only one having a manic Monday! We had a really nice Halloween (one of the first in recent years without rain or gloom!) and we also stayed nice and cozy as we saw some of the first snowflakes fly of the season!

Tip Jar Tuesday: Winterizing Home Checklist

Good morning and Happy Tuesday! My husband and I are starting to feel better which is good, the kids don’t QUIT – so that has been hard trying to juggle resting and playtime particularly when we’re trapped inside because the weather hasn’t been the greatest.

We did have a chance to get outside last week/weekend during some of the nicer days and finalize some of our home winterizing tasks. As I was working through my list, I thought, am I the only one with a winterizing checklist for the house? Are there things you button up every year and if so, how do you not forget about doing them? I would love to hear how you plan for the cold weather days ahead!

Needless to say we have some sort of bug over here, but hoping all will be okay this week and our families too.
