This is our first holiday season in our first home. And we’ve discovered our neighborhood doesn’t mess around when it comes to outdoor decorating. The weekend BEFORE Thanksgiving, die hard decorators were on their roofs hanging lights.
So we hung ours too.
Peer pressure.
We have slowly been buying outdoor Christmas lights at Sam’s Club (of course) so we were ready anyway. Now I just have to do the indoor décor. Doesn’t it feel like the fall stuff is hardly up at all? It’s like we are changing the decorations like crazy for 3 months then – Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, BAM – then it’s just our usual stuff for the other 9 months.
The holidays are a whirlwind.
Again, my mantra is to be present.
Halloween and Thanksgiving are over and Christmas is in full swing.
Anyway, it basically Christmas tomorrow so I hope you have all those gifts worked out. And if you need a little help… I’m running a giveaway with some of my bloggy friends and it’s pretty rad. In fact, I wish I could win. The kitchen aid mixer would look great on my counter really help me prepare healthy meals for my family. (though I’m not sure how I could decide on a color…bayleaf, pistachio, majestic yellow, aqua sky and green apple… oh my!). And the Keurig premium brewer… yes please!!
There are two winners. One for the mixer and one for the brewer.
Good Luck friends!

Kara Noel! I don’t know HOW you managed this giveaway but I’m all over it like a Christmas elf on a candy cane! I’d love to win the mixer– we’ve taken the step to vegan and I can’t believe how much I’m cooking and mixing and creating now! (which leads me to the next point, which is that now that I’m cooking so much more, I need to refuel my coffee cup a lot more often! The Keurig makes a very, very close second place!) 😀
Caitlin says

Just popping in to say hi and that we have some hardcore decorators in our neighborhood too. Santa displays up weeks before Thanksgiving. It’s totally annoying.
Kristen says

I like French Vanilla coffee, but my husband likes original. One of (as in me) ends of compromising. I’d love to win to win the Kuerig so we can both get what we want every morning.
Maggie Agro says
I’d love to have a Keurig Platinum – have been wanting one for a while. I can sit with a nice cup of espresso and look at my screensaver of my happy 2-year-old grandson in his Method Brown lid and start the morning with a smile.
