SIX.

SIX MORE DAYS! Our house was hit with the flu bug...I've been down & out for the past two weeks, on and off.  The Mr. had it bad too & somehow none of the kiddos have gotten it?! One day I feel better & the next, worse than before.  I haven't run in almost a week again because I have had no energy & still have to keep up with these Christmas-crazed kiddos.

As we quickly approach Christmas Day, I'm sharing a few last minute wardrobe additions that contributed to the next few days of holiday-themed outfits.  Yes, outfit posts will be returning starting tomorrow...that's the real Christmas miracle;)

Just wait until you see this styled...one of my fav holiday looks ever (sweatshirt via Gameday Couture)!
Christmas Green & BRIGHT PINK! Loving this combo for the holidays (both J.Crew).
Potential Birthday outfit? Love this combo paired with black skinnies (both J.Crew).
Red lace? Duh! This blouse is something special....I may be holding onto this until Valentine's because it's that pretty.
The perfect statement headband in holiday plaid (headband via J.Crew Crewcuts).

Single Digits!

ONLY NINE MORE DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS! This month always passes crazy quick, which is unfortunate.  We've had so much fun this year, especially as the girls get older & we catch glimpses of that holiday magic.  Here's a few new festive additions...

A faux mini-croc backpack for winter (via F21). Thinking about removing the straps though, thoughts?
Pops of red & festive coffee (Mug via Pottery Barn, All Else via Target).
Target Dollarspot is really killing it lately! I found the last once of these cute signs!
Casual weekday attire (Sweatshirt: Walmart, Hats: Amazon, All Else: F21).
The coziest Rudolph slippers (via F21).
Matching mommy & me hats, in holiday red (via Amazon).

2019 Christmas Cards

This is our third year sending holiday cards & although it's a lot of extra work during the busiest time of the year, it's a tradition I hope to continue for years to come. Growing up, we didn't take annual family photos (try once a decade, tops) & those are memories I know we  can't look back on.  I think most of us tend to forget that the holiday season can be a dark time for many people, so the thought of someone opening a Christmas card & knowing we were thinking of them brings me joy. 

I used Vista Print again this year, with no complaints! The cards turned out better than expected & I've already mailed them at the post office this morning.

Happy Weekend!

October (Part One)

October is here! We kicked off the month in the best of ways- with early morning surprise bags for all three kiddos! I always get them some spooky leggings, pjs, & a halloween-themed book (I like giving books for holidays).  This time, I added some stickers & a few other small surprises. 

We had family Thanksgiving (Canadian) at the cottage & it was the best way to spend the day, hands down.  We spent the rest of our days watching all three Hotel Transylvania movies with spooky treats & pjs.  I'm so thankful for another wonderful month of memories...

All ready for an early morning wake-up!
Zoey's bag in the making (from Chapters, Homesense, & Walmart).
Bo's bag in the making (from Walmart, Homesense, & Target Dollarspot)
Sadie's bag in the making (from Walmart, Target, Chapters, & Homesense).
Spooky snacks I was so happy to find in Canada (we usually never get holiday-themed treats).
This sweatshirt was the perfect sweatshirt for Halloween (via Shop Friday Apparel).
Movie marathons require spooky snacks (dvd via Walmart).
Picked up this beer on a whim on our last trip to Iowa...totally regretting not grabbing a few more 6 packs!
I've worn this outfit at least once a week since I got this sweatshirt (Hat: Target, Sweatshirt: Aerie, Shoes: Walmart).
I'm loving adding fun phrases to our letter board in the kitchen (thanks pinterest)!

My mom picked up these tees from Kohl's & I couldn't love them more!
