well, i follow her blog here and i seriously check it every day for the updates. this girl is so much fun! and super mom, i dont know how she finds the time to do half of the stuff she gets into! i need her energy bottled.

recently, in lieu of all that's been going on in the world, she found a way to give back. not only for one reason, but TWO. if you havent been to Jessica's blog, please do so STAT. you are missing out. plus, she has the most precious daughter and i want to pinch her little cheeks so bad.

she held a giveaway for Little Hip Squeaks (etsy shop) for the most adorable infant christmas tree hat. and i wonnnnn! i cannot wait to get little Scarlett in this hat next year! not to mention, the rest of this store has the cutest stuff. i've already pinned half of the store on my pinterest page.

said hat. how stinkin cute is this!?

hope you all are about ready for christmas. one week left. i have a few things to gather and a ton of baking to do! i'll be back to post on week 28, since i missed this week (not much of an update anyway).

Happy Holidays!

Back To Blogging

unintentionally, i've taken a (very long) break from blogging. between having a newborn, moving across country, and finding a house to buy, i somehow got a little side-tracked. thanks to my AMAZING sister-in-law, she gave me back my motivation.

my daughter, ava, is almost a year and a half already. time flew by faster than ever imaginable. they tell you it does, but you never really understand it until it just smacks you in the face. everyday she wakes up and has learned something new about the world. i feel like i do, too, but it's a little more noticeable with a barely speaking one year old. she's actually MY teacher. i'm learning sign language because of her. i'm learning patience, responsibility, and pretty much everything else that's not covered in those two categories.

this is our first holiday season in our brand new house, in our brand new neighborhood. i've always absolutely loved EVERYTHING about fall. the holidays, the weather, the hot drinks and food to fill your insides with warmth, the layering of the clothes. i've never really gotten into the decorating part, though. probably because i was always aware that if i put up christmas lights they were likely to stay up year round, despite knowing it's a little white trash. i'm really wanting to go all out for ava for the holidays. giving our tight budget, it wont be the "all out" that i have pictured in my head, but i know our day will come when i pull down "the box" from the attic and it'll already have a seasons worth of stuff in it. one by one, i'll get what i want/need for the holidays. and even better, ava and i can make our own decorations... something i've always loved to do.

this year we'll be going to columbia for the holidays, so i'm not too worried about the decorating. my sister-in-law, her husband, and baby corgan will be living in columbia for their first christmas back to SC. super excited to spend the holidays with them!! i married into the best family, hands down. and ava would be lost without my nephew, her cousin, corgan. he's 7 months younger than ava, but she's sure that she's a grown up and he's just a baby.

well... not sure what else to write today, but i'm going to make this a regular thing. sooooo, blog ya tomorrow!
