Currently- December 2017

Happy Wednesday! Here's what's been going on currently in our little lives:

Lighting:
All things warm and cozy. We just finished some outdoor lighting  and our tree lights have been twinkling for a few weeks now. I'm also obsessed by these battery powered twinkle lights in jars, planters and even our wreath. Also loving votive holders for some extra soft lighting.






Spending
...On you guessed it... Christmas presents, hostess gifts, treats for us and for teachers and all the kiddos' extra curricular helpers. We are in a good place though. Just a few little things to buy again. 

Choosing
 To keep it as simple and as easy as possible to truly remember the reason for the season. We have something going on every weekend but we also want to spend some time just enjoying the holiday and how truly magical and wonderful it is.

Singing
Lots and lots of Christmas carols. Bing Crosby is on repeat in the car... 

And while we are talking holiday... let's take a look at our North Pole breakfast when our elves returned this December. Sidenote, we always had one elf per season. However, last year our initial elf Patraj got lost in couldn't find our house after we moved.... so then we got Noelle... And then Patraj resurfaced. And now we have two.




And here's where they landed today...


Have a wonderful December day!

  4. So much fun! I just love the magical lighting this time of year. It makes everything so cozy and magical. I really need to get to planning our breakfast for this year. Two battles with a cold have had me a bit distracted.

  5. Yay for twinkly lights. Where do you get them? I did the same ornaments in a lantern (I think that Lindsey had them) and I was obsessed! Finally found the perfect lantern. But the lights add a nice touch! Yes to spending so much money! Yikes...

  6. Ditto what Sarah says. I love those twinkly lights. Had never thought to put a strand inside a lantern. Ha! Genius.

    I tried to stay within some kind of budget this year for my gift giving but feels like I have spent just as much as I ever have. Not sure where my budget got derailed.

    Glad Patraj resurfaced. My oldest granddaughter has an elf at her dad's apartment and another at my daughter's house. Walter and Winnie, respectively. Such fun.
