Musings

We’ve been having a merry go of it this month!! SOOO many fun things going on AND we’re knocking things off our advent calendar left and right.

 

We’ve put our hot chocolate station to good use…

We made reindeer food last week to spread all over Daddy-O’s lawn on Christmas Eve (he’ll love that). Did y’all know that Target doesn’t sell glitter?? what the what??? I absolutely refused to go into Michael’s for it so I bought a silver garland instead and had the littles cut it up. If you think glitter is the devil to clean up, try ten thousand bits of cut up tinsel garland. LOL. Next time I’ll just go to Michael’s.

I’ve got new tartan plaid things listed in the etsy shop. If only I’d been more on the ball and had these ready for Christmas delivery.

I ordered these two big bows on etsy as well. They will be darling on my Minnie ears next time we head down to the World!!

A sweet reader sent me these Georgia Tech inspired ornaments for our tree. At some point I’ll put our full sized GT tree back up in the basement, but for now they are lovely on the tree in the den!

Have I mentioned how much I love the baby’s teacher??? She often sends me precious pics like this of my baby’s day.

The boys ran in the school fun run a few weeks ago on a cold, rainy morning.
