Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! I'm not really big into V-Day, honestly. It's nice and all, but I don't get too excited about it either way. If it didn't exist, I don't think I would really care. 🙂 But, it does exist, so we acknowledge it a little bit. With the amount we go all out… Continue reading Happy Valentine’s Day
Fave Christmas Eve pic of the boys + hamsters! Ok, Christmas is really over now! My parents left a bit ago, the presents are mostly put away and the festivities have ended.

Throughout my whole life, I always get a little twinge of a sad feeling when I… Continue reading December 26th

I touched yesterday on the fact that I was feeling a bit of "gift fatigue". It's not even really just "gift fatigue", though that has been the department that has caused me the most headaches this year. The Christmas season is just always so crazy! It's one of those HUGE Catch-22s for me (and many,… Continue reading Christmas chaos
I had a pretty glorious day yesterday. The snowy weather definitely set the mood for me and I was in full on "cozy mode". I did get all my work done from my home office with my slippers on :), I DID try out the hot tub while it was snowing (loved it!) and I… Continue reading Glorious day + My 12 Days of Christmas challenge

Happy Sunday! Being Sunday, it feels like a fitting day to share pics of my Nativity scene. I received a piece most years from my Godparents when I was little and love my set! ❤ The boys usually put it up now and always look forward to that.
