Morning Notes: 12/3/2020

Good morning, ya'll. Greetings from this chilly Florida morning. I got so tired of wandering in my pajama pants, I treated myself to a lavish jogging set from Target this morning. At this point, my biggest compliant from surgery is my distended stomach. I guess they use some sort of air during the procedure and getting the gassy/bloaty/seriously uncomfortable feeling out is the hardest part. Try not be too jealous of how hot I am with my stool softeners and…

December: Editor’s Notes (Christmas Card Preview!)

Heyyyyy y’all. It’s me. How’s it going? I’m feeling like a big loser. Last week was batshit, if you’ve not been following along on social media. Let me break it down for you: we got a foster placement of a 5 day old foster baby, while I was up with him in the middle of the night and my stomach was KILLING me. I can look back now and see I had been nauseated that day. I thought it was…

I don’t want to give a ton away so I shared the details from the press release below. I will tell you there were adorable Chewbacca’s and lots of turkey legs involved. I thought it would be a perfect movie to…

Home for the holidays 2020: Fun Things To Do As A Family From Home!

I know the holidays look different so many of us this year. In a lot of ways, I feel like our experience as a military family has given us a unique perspective on spending the holidays “alone.” Flights and grad school budget didn’t always mesh so we’ve spent PLENTY of holidays just the four of us. I actually don’t mind. I kind of love it, if I’m being honest. I love being in my house with the people I love…

A Welcoming Bathroom For Every Guest!

This shop has been compensated by Inmar Intelligence and its advertiser, Angel Soft®. All opinions are mine alone. #AngelSoftScentedTube When we bought our house, we wanted it be a sanctuary for our family but also any guests. We’d also been wondering if we had the capacity to someday open our home as foster parents. I’d be involved in the foster care community for years as a volunteer in the margin hours of raising the boys and building this platform. We…

What to do to Prep For Your Best Holiday Season EVER! Holiday Hacks Edition!

We are almost to Halloween, but my crusade for a more peaceful holiday season knows no boundaries. Honestly, I'm thinking of the Christmas season all year long. It isn't uncommon to see me at yard sales in the summer months thinking of stocking stuffers, outfits for family photos, cute decor. This means that normally during the holidays, you'll see me present with my family. You'll not find me stressed (too often) you'll hear me say yes to entirely too many…

Celebrate October & Halloween without spending a bunch of money!

I am absolutely in the camp of people who TURN ALL THE WAY up for the holidays. It’s probably because I’m an enneagram 7 and thrive with a theme. But I like to think a lot of it has to do with how God wired me. I want everything I share to be easy to recreate at home on any budget! Movies are a fabulous way to set the spooky atmosphere. No need to buy anything new. There’s some amazing…
