currently thankful: for family + close friends, which i was reminded of late last week surrounded by loud noise and full bellies. but most recently with the love affair between logan and her little cuz ‘druebies’. once lo realized sweet quiet drue isn’t a threat to her sacred toy stash, lo’s become obsessed with mauling her baby friend and smothering her with kisses and hellos. it’s absolutely adorable, warms my heart and makes me anxious for these little girls to grow up together.

currently decking: the halls! it’s that magical time of year, and while i have a hard time layering on the kitsch, i’m trying my best for the sake of the toddler who calls our house home. however i must confess i tend to lean on the more natural side with a few homemade goodies sprinkled here and there. but all’s good, as we’ve got a grandmom with an entire snowman village and two trees.

currently shopping: for the prefect christmas gifts from my sofa surrounded by pine smelling cozy, cause you know i’m staying far from that scary place they call the mall. with black friday + cyber monday currently upon us, i’m in full swing checking off my list and can’t wait to set up shop and wrap late into the night.

currently scheming: our holiday card. let me tell you, it’s one hard task to get a wild toddler to sit still long enough to capture her saying cheese. there’s been many attempts, several meltdowns, and loads of jpegs to filter through. the pressure is on.

currently anticipating: a jam packed eventful december. we’ve got a light show, a visit with santa and a ride on the polar express just to name a few for lo. and an impromptu getaway to the big apple next week for adults only. this one’s got me super excited, as it’s been years since we’ve made the trip during the holiday season…the most wonderful time of year!
