2013 Goals Recap + Mommy & Me

Mommy & Me This picture is from Christmas Day.  AG was hamming it up, as usual.  We asked how big she was and this is what she does.  Love this munchkin more than words.   Make sure to come back next week for the launch something fun that Emily and I have been working on to add to our Mommy & Me Mondays!  When I looked back at my goals for 2013, I honestly laughed out loud.  What in the world was I thinking.  Eighteen goals, holy moly.  It was a long list.  With all that has gone on this year, I'm surprised I ... read more

Christmas Bucket List Recap

This Christmas season has come and gone.   It went by as fast as I thought it would.  At the beginning of the month, I posted our Christmas bucket list.   It consisted of all things I hoped we would be able to do as a family.  Things that I knew would create memories. Traditions I hoped they would start. Things I knew the mini would love. Mission Accomplished. I'm happy to report that we were able to check everything off our bucket list. I did my best to take pictures as we checked things off. I'll spare you the cup of hot chocolate, eggnog and image of the movies we ... read more

5 on Friday

It's the last Friday before Christmas. Where in the world has the time gone? Today, I plan on finishing up wrapping my presents, cleaning the house and getting ready for the festive events ahead. As usual, I'm linking up with some of my favorites for 5 on Friday- The Good Life,  A. Liz Adventures,  Carolina Charm and  Hello! Happiness. {one} This little mini has been a riot this week.  She is so so happy, all the time.  Of course, she has her moments.  But I just can't get enough of her.  Her smiles, kisses, hugs, giggles and imagination.  She makes my heart explode. ... read more

Deck the Halls & House Tour

The house has been decked out in all things Christmas for a month now.   I broke the rules and decorated before Thanksgiving this year.   I just couldn't wait.   I was excited to decorate our house this year.   There is much more space.   It was waiting to be filled with decorations.   I love how it all turned out.  This is just the downstairs, I have to upload the pictures of upstairs decor.   It's on my never ending to do list.   For now, enjoy the tour of our downstairs decorations!  ... read more

Baking Essentials and Christmas Cookies

If you're like me, you spend a lot of time in your kitchen around the holidays.  It's something I enjoy and plan for months leading up to the holiday season.   Trying new recipes (thanks to Pinterest), baking cookies and sweets to give to friends as gifts is something that makes me happy.  I guess you can call the kitchen my happy place (except on the days the mini is sitting at my feet, trying to pull my pants down as I bake away).  This year I've spend many many hours in the kitchen. This past weekend, I baked over 13 dozen cookies for  D's team at work. Before I ... read more
