Everyday Maddie

 And just like that.....it's CHRISTMAS BREAK! And my last post of 2025! But before all of that, let's get into some faves from my week! Linking up with Erika and Andrea. Some Christmas funnies for ya.... 😂😂😂 "Underground Spirit Week" We dress up or do something silly and the students have no idea, so it's constant confusion and laughter! So fun! Monday- PJ day. Tuesday-  Anything but a bag. Wednesday- Favorite Christmas song or movie character. Oh Christmas Tree, Rocking Around the Christmas Tree, or as one student said...the Rockefeller Christmas Tree! Thursday- Christmas tree topper meets hat. This one did not last long in my hair...hahahah! Today is another PJ day for "Kinderland"! My name is Maddie, and I am obsessed with good smelling laundry.... These both smell AMAZING. The Wicked one smells exactly like the perfume I have been wearing- Jo Malone English Pear and Sweet Pea. Makes me sad that it's limited edition... I was looking for some go...

 Happy Wednesday! Posting a day early, but I will link up on Thursday with Holly and Patty for the LAST Monthly Musings of 2025!! 1. What holidays do you celebrate? Advent/Christmas! 2. Scale of 1-10-- how into the holidays are you this year? Be honest. I love the "be honest" aspect....I really do LOVE the holidays, though! I'm going with 10/10! 3. Favorite things to make/bake during the holidays? Fudge, cookies, sausage balls, dips.....all the yummy foods! 4. Favorite holiday movies? I shared this a couple years ago, and it's still pretty spot on! 5. Most random holiday tradition? I have several children's Christmas books from years past, and I always sit and read a couple after I put out my decor. Just me, to myself. Kind of random, I guess! 6. Are you hosting for the holidays? NYE or day? Nope. Nope. Nope. Ha! 7. Favorite way to ring in the new year?  With good apps, drinks, and I like to stay up until midnight! 8. Any new year's resolutions or word of the ...

 Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend! I am linking up with Holly and Sarah this morning to share a bit about mine. This is what I spent most of my Friday night doing..... Ummmm. I cried all the way through both episodes. Gosh it's SO good! For some reason, I forgot to grab a picture of both of my teas on Saturday...Libbey's store was busy all day! We had Mexican for dinner (and lunch😂) for our Nanny's birthday which is today!! Spicy marg for me, strawberry champagne marg for Lib. Yesterday consisted of grocery shopping and getting ready for our last week of work before Christmas- yay! So, I finished up my wrapping while watching the Vancouver Eras Tour show. Ugh, I wish I could go back!! Have a great day!!

 Happy Friday!! I hope you all had a great week! I am linking up with Erika and Andrea today to share some faves from my week. Obsessed with my newest Christmas sweatshirt! From The Shirt Possé on FB! Well this was NOT a fave.... Boooooo. But this wine is good! Loving all the Christmas cheer everywhere! I don't remember these from last year, but I love them! Another NOT fave.... Buuuut, this means I will be in the market for a new tree for my room 😉. Have a great weekend!

 Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. As always, I am linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday. After school, we headed to Madison to celebrate Lib's bday that was earlier in the week! We had her fave... Which is also my fave 😉. Saturday morning tea at The Blend for Lib's Christmas open house. I got "Frosted Berry"- so good! And because I was there all morning, I got a second tea. This one is "Bad Santa"- loving the Christmas teas! (I always do a specialty which has protein and collagen) After the event, we headed back home to get ready for Caleb's work Christmas party. My OOTN. And then Sunday, we ran some errands and grabbed lunch. Yep. Mexican again!! We spent the rest of the day sitting around, watching Friends. A perfect Sunday afternoon!! Have a great Monday!

 Happy Friday, friends!! I hope you all had a great week! I am linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some faves today. On Wednesday, I shared my Christmas Home Tour! I always love doing that, mostly for me to look back on in the future! I realized I didn't include a picture of our kitchen table decor. Mostly because it was overtaken by school work..... But, here's the gist. Florals, a candle, ornaments in a bowl for easy and cute decor, and festive salt and pepper shakers that I refuse to actually put salt and pepper in 🙂. Speaking of school work.... I told myself at the beginning of the week that I wasn't opening this until ALL of my school work was done.....Well, I'm happy to report that I am officially DONE with undergrad! I don't have that degree in hand yet, but I am done!! (And this is a fave wine of mine!) We decided to get pizza crusts and make our own pizza this week instead of frozen or takeout, and it was so good! We added sausage, mushrooms, and ba...
