Christmas Memories

 Happy Wednesday!! The other day, I was looking back at old pictures and came across some fun (and OLD) Christmas memories, so I thought they needed a permanent place on my blog! 

Starting out with some veeerrrryyyy old pics...

Thank you Jesus for braces. Why I was obsessed with that choker, I have no idea. And big thanks to my mom for this being our Christmas card...whew. 

Oh sweet little Dierks. You may never again find a picture of me gladly holding a dog 🤣.

The 2010 snow!

The year we spent Thanksgiving at the beach, and they had this big tree up at Destin Commons. This was a particularly hard Christmas, so we needed this little bit of joy!

Nutcracker memories! 

We used to go every year to see NB!

The year we learned how to make those fun bows...

and then drove to Louisiana for Christmas lights. We're always up for crazy Christmas adventures! 

Our sister spend the night on Christmas Eve! 

Oh Phi Mu, aren't you cute?? It was nice to have a little Christmas cheer when I couldn't be at home with my family. 

This angel baby's first Christmas. Where did the time go?? Also our last "normal" Christmas, because the next year....

Our "covid Christmas" in Nashville. (Don't worry, everything was done safely and masks were worn inside 😉.)

And Christmas Eve service at home. My family and Caleb's family have gone to this service together for the last nine years...2023 being our TENTH! In 2020, we went over to the Buckner's house to try to make it feel a little bit normal. 

Vegas, I sure do love you at Christmastime. We stayed one night in Vegas and then went to St. George, Utah, for a few days and then went back to Vegas for another night. 

Some skied, some stayed in the car, some went to the lodge and drank different beers and ate a bunch of food.....

Always my very favorite night of the year. 

Our first married Christmas! 

His dinosaur ornament had to go at the top of the tree. 

Luna's first Christmas! Oh Luna Belle, I'm not sure what we would do without you 🤣. (Also, shorts and t-shirt....can you say Christmas in the south any louder??🤣)

He's always up for a "Smapchap" filter! Christmas is a little bit sweeter with Reid around- the magic of Santa and his eight tiny reindeer live in his sweet little heart, along with baby Jesus which is the sweetest part of all. 

We sure do love Christmas around here! As you can see, my favorite memories are never the gifts I receive but the family and friends we spend this time of year with. It doesn't matter what we're doing or where we are, as long as we're together! Merry Christmas, friends!

Let's Look: January 2026

 Happy Wednesday!! Let's Look is one of my very favorite blog link ups and after not doing it last year, I am ready for it in 2026! I am linking up with Shay and Erika for this monthly series! Today, we are LOOKING at..... THINGS WE OUTSOURCE WITHOUT REGRET. Ok, there are so many things you can outsource that I just would rather do myself. I love to grocery shop. I think I would be weirded out by someone else doing my laundry. A house keeper is just not something we currently need or really want. BUT, there are occasions when outsourcing is just what needs to be done. Grocery Delivery/Pickup We don't do this often, but when we do it's pretty nice. That being said, I am usually ready to get back in the grocery store myself! Food Delivery This is another one we do not do often, but a Wednesday free delivery from Wingstop has sucked me in a few times 😂. And of course, pizza delivery is always nice! Plus, we can get food delivered to the school I work out, so that's nice e...

Friday Favorites {4.2.26}

 Happy THURSDAY. My days are getting so mixed up with a Friday holiday haha! Posting Friday Faves a day early since tomorrow is Good Friday. Whoop whoop! We're getting a 7Brew!! I'm gonna let the new wear off before I go, but dang I am so excited for this! Have y'all tried it?? My sister gave me this MacKenzie Child's cookie jar for my bday and I love!! I made some white chocolate, peanut, and M&M clusters and they looked so cute in it! I will try just about anything once haha, but I finally jumped on the Tik Tok bandwagon and grabbed this facial brush for lymphatic drainage. My mind could very easily be playing tricks on me, but I'm gonna say I see a difference! Got mind from Amazon! And I cannot close out this post without mentioning Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month! Please, please, please educate yourself on what it means to have Autism, how to explain it to your children, how to advocate, how to include, how to help- all the things!! Please remember, if...

Friday Favorites {12.20.24}

 Happy Friday, friends!! And Merry Christmas Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve- that's a thing, right??😂 I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea today to share some faves from the week, and then I will be off for the holidays! My plan is to see y'all back here on January 13! For some food faves.... I grabbed the raspberry kringle at Aldi the other day after seeing so many positive reviews on it. It is really good!! I had some with a cup of coffee a couple times this week! Last night, Caleb made lasagna soup- YUM. Definitely a favorite of mine lately! A great way to end the night.... Caleb made me a cosmopolitan the other night. Yum! I am really going to miss this sight.... This is my favorite time of year for sure! Twinkly lights and candle light = the BEST. On my drive home from work yesterday.... This was a fun little surprise. I don't remember this from last year! I hope you all have a great weekend and a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday! However, whatever, whenever, whereve...
