It’s Christmas Eve! I spent the morning in bed with the Husband, our 3 year old, our 6 month old, our dog and our kitten (plus a cup of coffee). We all got to snuggle and enjoy each other without having to rush to get ready for school ,work or anything. I actually got to […]

The BEST Christmas Gifts for Preschoolers

My little girl is almost four, and this is the first Christmas that we have had trouble holding back. EVERYTHING is just SO exciting for her… the lights, the trees, the hot cocoa the presents… she loves it all. Watching her light up and get so excited about the holidays makes it that much more […]

Christmas in the Bayou

Happy post-holidays friends! We are currently driving home from Texas to Tennessee…Luna is snoozing (Christmas miracle!), Husband is driving and the dog is actually sitting in the backseat, so I’m going to take advantage of this time kinda-to-myself and sleep.
