ramblings

Lawd. The whirlwind of Thanksgiving is over and now we are on the race to Christmas and the start of a new year.

This weekend was full of family and fun but I am ready to get December started as I am working on something new that I can’t wait to share with you all. It may be ready before the end of the year but for some reason for the ease of things I may hold off until January 4 to roll it out.

I am so excited for the new year. Something about Mondays, the first day of any month and the beginning of a new year make me feel like I have an official new start to make awesome things happen.

One thing I want to start doing more in 2016 is reading more than just fiction. My first book is Year of  Yes by Shonda Rhimes. Thanks to Amazon Prime I’ll have it Tuesday.

Speaking of getting my thoughts in order for 2016 I need to start planning a vision board party. I did one last year. I need to pull it out to see what came of my vision for 2015.

I’ve been on way too many Youtube channels about planning. I just ordered a laminator. Not sure what I am going to do with it but I’ll let you know.

I forgot to move the elves last night and had to think quick on my feet.

How was your Thanksgiving?

saturday snapshot

A few weeks ago I shared a few photos from the fall photo shoot I did of my children. While at the park my son had the genius idea to re-create this photo I took of them in 2011 and I thought it came out super hilarious.

It’s amazing how fast they grow!

oh christmas tree

So I mentioned earlier in the week that we are going to start a tradition of cutting down our Christmas tree and I am proud to say that the Mr. is on board.

We still have family in town so it will likely be next week before we can get around to it but I am so excited to start a new tradition for our family. I am slowly pulling out the Christmas decorations and I have every intention to have the house decked out by the end of the weekend.

We’ll see

Have you put up your tree yet?
