Life Lately...Happy Holidays!

It was another great year hosting Thanksgiving!  

We used chafing sets to warm all of the sides and it made the day so much more enjoyable as host.  Clean up was easier as well.  

Next year I want to spend more time making a cohesive tablescape.  It's been very mish-mash style the past years but I think I want to try to pull together a "fancier" table next year.  We'll see...

Yesterday I celebrated my birthday!  My mom came over during the baby's nap so we could enjoy brunch with the girls.

Later we decorated for Christmas.  I think this is our 4th year using Whole Foods for our tree and it is the best deal!!

This week I am working on our Christmas cards.  We had some beautiful family photos taken at the beach last week.  Also, photo related- John's school pictures came in.  Naughty List!

Last thing before I run... I am Room Mom in the girls' classes this year and this week is the "Keepsake Ornament" parties where all of the students make a personalized ornament.  We tested out a SUPER simple craft over the break which is the plan for my second grader's class.  I'll share a tutorial soon.

Have a great week!

Playing in my Closet

 I am so grateful that, with my son is preschool this year, I've been able to spend a little time playing in my closet.  Putting outfits together is so fun for me.  With the holidays coming up I tried on some of my more festive pieces.  90% of these outfits were thrifted...my favorite hobby.  Looking forward to wearing them soon!

Friday Highfive: Halloween 2024

Halloween 2024 was a fun one!

"Say Hello To My Little Friends" -Scarface

The girls were Red and Bridget from Descendants.  I think there were at least 2 in every class :)

And the Mr. Tootsie!!!!!  Flashback to little tootsie MB.

J had his school parade...

And I spent the day at the girls' school helping with the carnival and the class parties.

I'll be spending the next week getting myself in gear for the Holiday Season.  

Have a great weekend!
