2022 Life Recap

2022 Life Recap

Hi friend!  I hope you’re having a great week!  We caught the rat yesterday, and it was such a traumatic experience.  Of course I’m glad it’s gone, but I still feel bad for the guy.  Thank you SO much for being in it with me and hanging in until the drama ended.  I love you so big!!

But let’s turn our attention to happier things!

One of the best things about having a “lifestyle” blog is that it reflects what you’ve been up to and been through over the years.  I’ve always enjoyed chronicling life’s journey and at the end of the year it’s good to look back and review.

Hi friend!  Yay for Friday!  It’s been a longest, short week here. The kids went back to school on Wednesday, they both had basketball practices that same day, my Mom found an apartment!, and I got to catch up with two of my long-time girlfriends last night for dinner.  That girlfriend time is so good for the soul!

Today is the first Amazon haul of the new year!  I’m excited for it too because it’s a good one with my new favorite pair of leggings (you MUST try! seriously the closest to Lululemon yet!), some stylish sneakers,

Our New Home Tour & Future Decor Plans

Our New Home Tour & Future Decor Plans

One of my biggest life changes in 2022 was moving into this new house. I still very much liked our old house, but when this new home appeared on the market and I saw it for the first time, I felt like we belonged there.

The kids were with me when we first toured it and after being inside for just 20 minutes, my inner voice declared out loud, I think this is our house.  I could totally picture us living there.

Wow.

It was a big leap of faith, considering my old house wasn’t even on the market.

Best of December & Our Christmas with a Rat

Best of December & Our Christmas with a Rat

Hi friend!  I’ve missed you!  I took some much needed time off after Christmas to rest and recharge and it really did me good.  While the kids were gone, I cleaned house, worked out, took myself out to lunch and to the bookstore and visited with a few friends.

There were late mornings and also some glorious naps thrown in for good measure.  The house is a clean slate with all the Christmas decor down. ♥

I was so happy that I went through and donated all of the Christmas decor that we weren’t using that didn’t fit in our new house.

Top 20 Christmas Sales & What I’d Buy

Good morning friend!  We are moving slow after a really wonderful Christmas.  I’m actually going through all my photos and videos now so that I can share them here and on Stories soon!

Today, I’m going to my favorite workout class with Colleen, a 60-year old powerhouse that works us so hard and puts me in the best mood.

Then, my mom will be here and we’ll continue our search for apartments.  She currently lives about 25 minutes away and will be moving closer next month.  I’m so excited for that and so is she!

Hi friend!  Did you hear our bad news on Stories?!

We have a RAT!!!! Ugggg!!!!  Jordan actually saw it on Sunday afternoon and my pest control friend Johnny came out yesterday and confirmed!  He gave me sticky glue traps to put out and you better believe I’m totally freaked out about our unwelcome holiday visitor!  I told Johnny I’ll calling him 911 if I wake up and see a rat wiggling around on a glue trap!!!

But, I want it gone! And quickly!  Kitty has been living with us inside since it’s been cold out,

Last Minute Stocking Stuffers for Him & Her | Winter Accessories

Hi friend! Welcome to a brand new week!  We are officially on Christmas break now and the kids don’t go back to school until January 4th!  So far, we’ve had some friends over and went to the park to enjoy a gloriously sunny and chilly day.  This week, we’ll probably be doing more of the same, baking, wrapping gifts and all those last minute Christmas details.

If you still have small gifts and stocking stuffers to buy, I’m here to help!  I’ve got stocking stuffers for her and him today.

And, after that, I’m sharing some very cool winter accessories for yourself or a friend!

Hi friend!  Sorry I missed you yesterday.  My daughter wasn’t feeling well and that threw my day all out of whack. Thankfully, she’s much better now and back at school.

For many of us with kiddos, it’s the last school week before Christmas break!  We have a 4-day week and Friday is the class parties and Advent calendar.  My son has mid-term exams, but we definitely already have our minds on the holiday break.  You too?

It’s our first Christmas in our new home and I can’t wait to welcome you inside!

Hi friend! Yay for Friday! We have a few things on the agenda- all good things.  A birthday party and helping box up toys for Ceci’s toy drive for Texas Children’s hospital.  Everyone has been so generous in giving, it warms my mama heart.

I’ve also gotten thank you notes from several teachers that received my Tuesday Giving classroom donations.  I know those things will really brighten the kids’ and teachers’ days. ♥

If you missed it this week, I shared a new December Loves Giveaway.  I’ll pick one winner from my blog subscribers and one winner that likes all my December Instagram posts.

Binge Watch For Less During the Holidays

Binge Watch For Less During the Holidays

Hi friend! I can’t believe we only have a little over a week until school is out for Christmas break.  Do we have any big plans? Nope!

I’ve learned over the years not to get too busy scheduling things, they tend not to happen anyway.  We’ll probably just play it by ear and spend lots of cozy days at home.

My son loves having friends over or visiting at their house and Jordan is my little shadow that loves baking, bottle flipping/dice stacking and basketball.

When James does have his friends over, they love to watch all their favorite sports through our SlingTV –

Hi friend!  I hope you are having a fabulous week and looking forward to the first weekend in December!  Can you believe we’re already in the last month of the year?! Jordan asks or reminds me everyday how many days ’til Christmas.  It makes me happy being an older mama to still have a child that has so much joy and exuberance for the holiday.  It’s the magic of Christmas!

And, it’s our Favorite Things party tonight! I’ve been a little under the weather this week, but I tried to lay low and conserve my energy for tonight and thankfully,
