After a little blogging break, I’m back and feel excited to write and share again! It was nice to take some time off and enjoy the holidays with family! I hope you had an amazing Christmas, and honestly cannot believe the new year is a couple days away!
What We’re Eating This Week…
Air fryer recipes! My husband got an air fryer for Christmas and we’ve been loving it!
Boneless skinless thighs . brussels . rice
Spaghetti . meat sauce – A STAPLE in this house!
Breakfast sandwiches!
We’ll probably get takeout one of these days!
What I’m Reminiscing About
Christmas Day
Too soon?! It was such a magical day for the kids and made me so happy seeing their faces light up. Will never forget that feeling as a kid – the BEST!
We were blessed with a big ole snow storm and I wasn’t complaining.
We made sure to feed the reindeer!
…And read Twas the night before Christmas…
….and watch Christmas Vacation, which I honestly wasn’t blown away. My first time seeing it and I LOVE funny/dumb humor, but I don’t know why I struggled to get there – maybe a story line that was all over the place?!
Waking up to a White Christmas!!
My in-laws came to us this year to open gifts! So spoiled these kiddos are!
After that we hung around, played with all the new toys and went down for naps!
Then off to my brother’s house we went!
This little man couldn’t keep up!
Our Little Getaway
I really had a great time on Southern Florida on a little getaway my husband and I had. The weather was PERFECTION and the break was what we needed. Resting and reset is so good for the mind and body!
What I’m Loving…
Winter Season and Quality Time Inside!
Maybe this is just because we returned back from Florida weeks ago, but in all seriousness, I’ve grown to appreciate and LOVE our changing seasons.
Seeing the beauty in the snow covered trees and landscape, taking the kids sledding, playing in the snow, having a white Christmas or just staying indoors spending time together is something I’m truly thankful for!
My new Fabric Shaver/Lint Remover
I have been going to town with this fabric shaver on some extremely beaten up pillows in our house! The pillows are my absolute favorite but they needed a face lift! Take a look at this before and after! I shared how I used it on my story on Instagram yesterday!
What We’ve Been Up To…
Snow play!
As mentioned above, appreciating the season and what it has to offer!
We’ve built snowmen, explored, and gone sled riding
and burgers at our fav cozy spot post sled!
Oh, and….meeting the neighbors new puppy!!!!!!
What I’m Dreading…
My daughter has a dentist appointment today and I am hoping things go smoothly and that she remains calm and brave! It’s nothing MAJOR, but to her, it will be and I’m praying for the strength to calm her and make her feel better!
What I’m Working On…
Flower Garden Planning
I can’t tell you how excited this gets me! I’ve been thinking so much about my garden recently and how much joy it brings me!
Better Blogging Calendar for 2021
Trying to hold myself accountable and plan ahead better!
What I’m Excited About…
A new year.
While 2020 was an absolute TOSS UP, it has actually allowed me to learn more and see things more clearly. I will be sharing some of my “goals” tomorrow, but the twist – I want them to mostly be about OTHERS and not all about ME.
What I’m Watching/Reading…
As I mentioned above, this year has been a wild one, but I will continue to follow COMMON SENSE when making decisions, forming opinions and teaching my kids how to be great people. Speaking of which, my husband and I just watched this documentary and yet again our eyes are opened… in my opinion, a must watch if you care about being American.
No Safe Spaces
The Silent Patient
I just finished this book and LOVED it! So very well put together! Now about to read this one…
The Other Mrs.
I’m pretty excited to read this one. Of course, another pysch-thriller
What I’m Listening To
God leading me towards bigger and better things.
What I’m Wearing…
This is always fun for me! I love sharing deals and really love cute and comfy clothes!
This seems to be a variation of my uniform, daily. Comfy pants, a sweatshirt and some sort of caffeine!
I’ve been loving this little puffer jacket!
I LOVE this sweater! It is so cute and I got it for a STEAL! The color is gorgeous and the fit is perfect! They have it in a bunch of different colors! Again, I’ve shared this before, tight wrists instantly make sweaters better and more flattering!
This relaxed sherpa jacket can be dressed up or down and I love how it looks!
Audrey and I got these knotted head bands from Santa and we’ve been loving them!
I’ve been wearing this “Shacket” NON stop! Just wore this sledding last night as well – keeps you SO WARM!
What I’m Doing This Weekend…
Tidying up, maybe?! I keep pushing it off! But, for real what we are doing, it is my Mom’s birthday on New Year’s Day! So, I’m sure we will be doing something special for her!
What I’m Looking Forward To Next Month…
Starting my flower course!
I signed up for a flower course from a very world renowned florist and CANNOOOOOTTT wait!
What Else is New??
That is all! I love these posts and felt inclined to do today even though the main hosts are taking a little break from blogging for the holidays! Hoping to read some other bloggers posts!
