It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!

It's officially the Christmas season! Although I hate cold weather and snow, I absolutely LOVE Christmas time! The shopping, decorating, sweets and treats, family gatherings- I'm here for it!! Every year my husband Tyler and I crank up the Christmas music, decorate the house, and get a real Christmas tree! We love this time together and watching Christmas movies and drinking hot chocolate by our fire place all month long!
In spirit of the Christmas season and shopping for your loved ones (and maybe yourself too)
I'm going to share my personal opinion on great gift ideas and deals!
Merry Christmas to you! πŸ’«

PTL

Just want to brag on God this morningπŸ’•  My husband’s car  broke down back in December. We had it towed to a car shop to fix it, it has been in there for over a month! Starting to feel stressed with only one vehicle, my husband -the problem solver that’s in his character of who he is, wanted to buy a new car. I didn’t feel peace about it. The next morning I realized I hadn’t prayed about this situation at all! So I prayed for God’s Will to be done & for the car to be fixed. That very afternoon Tyler got the call that the car was ready!!πŸ™ŒπŸ½ we are going to go pick it up today! 😍 They also replaced his transmission for FREE because it took so long. So this verse is ringing in my head today! πŸ’“ “Don’t’ worry about anything, instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done.” Sometimes situations in life can be so stressful and for some reason we often feel like we have to figure it out all on our own. But I found that it's so much ea...

DIY Christmas Cards

If you love to be creative and festive like me, then you will love making your very own Christmas cards! A nice card can be pretty expensive, so this year I decided to "DIY" my cards! I have always loved making personal birthday cards, so this year I thought, why not Christmas too?! I already had everything I needed to create the cards so the only thing that costed me was the stamps to mail them! Which is totally worth it to put a smile on my family's face with a little surprise in the mail! Here are some tips and pics of my DIY 2019 Christmas cards!  I used Christmas themed scrapbook paper and folded it over to make it thicker, like a card. I also added these cute scrapbook stickers.  They add so much cuteness to the cards!!  Nice stickers can be be pretty pricy at the craft stores, but my Grandma is so sweet and picks me up some stickers all year round when she goes to Goodwill and gets them for .99 for a brand new pack! I would rec...

Marriage Get Away

Tyler and I had a great weekend together! We left Friday after work to go to Ohio for a church conference over the weekend. Just the two of us! Although it's not the beach and palm trees, it's always great to go on a mini adventure! I think there is SO much value in getting away from your day to day life with your spouse - even if it's only an hour or so away! Just time to be away and together . For some reason there is something stuck in a lot of our heads that in order for it to be a "get away" it's going to cost a lot of money, use up vacation time at work, and be planned out in advance. If this were true, we would only go on trips once a year... if that! haha. I don't know about you, but I love staying in a hotel that I don't have to clean and eating out every night, not having to cook and clean up dinner! When I'm at home I feel guilty for watching too much t.v. when there is a sink full of dishes and laundry to do. So having the weekend to ...
