Yet every year, without fail, I am in the same position a week before Christmas scrambling to order everything. Thankfully there is Amazon.  What a time to be alive. If it wasn't for Amazon Prime and two day[...]

A Fun Christmas Tradition and We Cut Down Our Own Christmas Tree!

December 6, 2017

It's officially December which means it's time to chat all things CHRISTMAS! Unlike the majority of the blogging world, I just can't motivate myself to start decorating for Christmas and doing all the Christmas crafts on November 1st.  I just can't do it. But, now that December is here, I'm so ready for all the Christmas season has to offer. As much as consumerism and gifting seem to headl[...]
