Hi December!

I am SO ready for the holidays. The house looks magical, wonderful, & “Christmassy,” I just love this time of the year. We only have a few gifts left to purchase, which I will do this coming week, meaning this will be the earliest we’ve ever been finished with giftmas shopping! I’ve been really enjoying [...]

Counter clockwise- The two princess soaps smell like “Winter Wonderland,” the two to the left in the back were scented “Candy Cane” with peppermint essential oil, the two [...]

Hats x2

K’s the proud owner of a huge head.
We got the kids’ winter coats on Sunday. Old Navy was having a 40% off sale (fortunately for us!) [...]
