HOLIDAY TIPS

 

With Holiday season in full affect, here are some of my stay stress-free tips. Getting organized is a no-brainier, but most people fail to plan. Keep a calendar, set a budget (stick to it). Not happening? Make a list, check it twice. Where did that list go?!? Great lost the list. So many people have less than Merry Christmas'. I'm a planner, does that mean I don't get stressed? Not at all. It just means I have a plan,and my plan has a back up plan. 

So here are some tips and things to keep in mind:

Make a detailed list with who and what to buy. If you don't know what to purchase get a gift card. "Oh there in-personal", so is getting the wrong gift. Gift cards ensure that they get something they will enjoy, and cuts shopping time.  Start shopping asap. Last minute shopping is hectic. 

Don't attend every party your invited too. Between work parties,family, and friends, it can get overwhelming. Remember it's a party, if your not having a good time, then your at a meeting that's not mandatory. 

Stop comparing. Social Media  will have you thinking that the rest of the world has this Holiday thing in the bag. With gorgeous holiday cards, fresher baked cookies, and that list checked off twice. 

Here are some of last years pics

Remember to have a Holly Jolly Christmas. 

Pineapple

This little guy has just come home and I couldn't be happier. In case you didn't know, I love pineapples. There isent a grocery trip, where we don't pick one up. So how crazy is it, that one has never been on the blog named after it? So here's the first pineapple to hit the blog. No, I don't have much of a green thumb. It's more like I'm the place, where flowers come to die. So my husband has taken this one on. Let's see how big this guy gets.

Here's some weekend fun. We hit downtown Disney. The girls absolutely love the Lego store. We could have stayed for hours.

Weekend round up



Kicking off fall and our holiday festivities off. With Halloween just a few weeks away, my mind is racing with all the awesome, Pinterest inspo, for costumes. Having a hard time settling on costumes for the girls. We picked up pumpkins and a black cat. Finally, getting to some decor around the house, although I haven't set anything up yet which I'm hoping to do by weeks end. Planning lots of fall fun, from hay rides, to late night hot chocolate runs, and some spooky films. Our go to is, Tim Burtons Nightmare Before Christmas. 

We picked up Milo, sorta by accident. We just got the girls a fish tank and were picking up supplies. But Milo just kept looking at me with sad eyes, and I'm not sure what happened next, but well, we have a cat. The girls are absolutely loving this little guy. 

Also this girl just got to use her first Easy Bake Oven. Can you tell how excited she is?
