How is it Thanksgiving already?! 2018 has flown by! This year has held a lot of changes for our family—-my husband started working from home, Henley started kindergarten (which brought tons of new routines), and both girls also started new extracurricular activities.
Read MoreMerry Christmas guys! I had every intention of posting this on Christmas Eve but that didn't happen. I kept my laptop closed and phone down most of the time and it just didn't happen. I hope you all had an amazing holiday.
Read MoreThinking back on my childhood Christmases, there are lots of great memories but a few memories stick out more than the others. I remember how much I loved our house at Christmas time. My mom decorated our home, changing out practically every decoration she could to replace it with something festive. It was so fun seeing our home transform into a Christmas wonderland. Besides the home, my mom's Christmas cookies are another thing I remember so vividly. I can't recall how long my mom would bake for or even exactly what kind of cookies she was making but I do remember our entire dining room table being stacked with bins and bins of cookies.

Read MoreGuys! We have been so busy that I have about ten posts to write about things we have been up to lately! I shared my Christmas Bucket List last week and we have been having so much fun doing lots of these things with the girls. Going into this month, I was looking forward to having both girls be at a good age to understand everything and it has definitely been so much fun. Henley and Macie both understand most of the things surrounding this season. They both are having a blast participating and have patience to sit through most of things. It's really been great.

There is so much we want to squeeze into this month so we got started a little early on crossing things off. Here is our Christmas Bucket List for 2017:
Read MoreOur long weekend has come to an end (hold me!). These past five days off have been amazing. We spent Wednesday prepping for Thanksgiving then we headed to visit Santa before the lines start getting too long. Macie has cried sitting on Santa's lap the last two years. This year was no different, she wanted nothing to do with him
Read MoreI hope you all had a great day. It's 9pm here and we are done and winding down. Macie's in bed, baths are finished, and mama is in her jammies and ready for bed.
