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! 💫



1. Stoney Clover Lane 
I am obsessed with this company!! This will make the perfect gift for anyone on your list that loves anything customized and personal (like me) You can pick any type of bag from their website, choose the color, and place on patches where you like on the bag! Spelling out their name, nic name, or whatever you want! Website here: https://www.stoneycloverlane.com/collections/customize


2. Slippers! For Guys and Girls!
Last year I bought both my hubby and my dad house slippers and they were a hit! I bought the men's slippers at Kohl's (Tyler is wearing them in the Christmas pic above)
Here are some super cutes ones from Express that I like for me -or any girl! *They are also 50% off!!

3. Bath and Body Works Candles
Bath and Body always has the cutest Christmas candles and they smell AMAZING!!!!

Personally, I think you can never go wrong with a gift card! I love giving and receiving them!
This way the person has an excuse to go out to eat or buy something for themselves that they normally wouldn't! -Treat Yo' Self!-
5. Boxy Charm
For your makeup lover in the family, a Boxy Charm subscription would make a GREAT gift! I love receiving mine every month in the mail! Boxy Charm is a monthly makeup subscription where they send you 5-6 full size, high end, makeup products for only $25.00 per month! Link here:

How to roll with the change

Although I've still been going into my office Tuesday-Friday at church, I'm starting to feel a little trapped on my weekends at home... And I just got word that I will be working from home staring tomorrow. These past couple weekends I've found some tips and tricks for me to not feel so stuck during this time. I hope some of this helps you as well! Note: this is all based off my personal experience and opinion.  1. Get dressed!  I know this sounds so simple! I found on the days I actually get ready (not full glam) but a normal outfit (for me leggings/joggers and a sweatshirt) I found I feel more motivated to get things done! The days I stay in my pajamas I end up just wanting to watch Keeping Up With The Kardashians on the couch all day long! Not saying there is anything wrong with that! But I also NEED to get some stuff done around the house and I just found that getting dressed helps me to do it! 2. Adjust your focus. When I start focusing on the...

DIY Jewlery Presents

This year I wanted to make some homemade, DIY Christmas gifts for my family! In July I had injured my lower back really bad and couldn't even get from the couch to my bed without being in pain! So I started making jewelry again, which I hadn't in years!! I forgot how much fun it is to create something for yourself or someone you love! So for the Christmas gifts I'm making I already had all the beads, tools, and string I needed to make something special for my mom, my grandma, and my niece! I hope when they open it on Christmas they will know how much time, effort, and love I put into the jewelry! 😊💝 These beads are from Hobby Lobby and so is the bead organizer! - which is a MUST!!! This Jewelry making kit is from Target and it's AMAZING!! It came with cute letter beads, pliers, jump rings, chains, and clasps! All for around $15/$20 Of course I had to be festive and make the Christmas jewelry presents next to our Christmas tree while watching al...

Well the big secret is out! Tyler and I are going to have a baby this October!! While this was a pretty huge surprise for us we are so excited! I was saying before we found out that we're pregnant how I want to get more prepared before we start having kids by paying off our credit cards, getting better about managing our money, to get physically strong and fit....but I'm now realizing we have the rest of our lives to do those things! Goals are great don't get me wrong, but God's timing is perfect and I think I was just using those things as an excuse because deep down I was unsure if I was really ready to become a mom! Ever since finding out that I'm pregnant I'm really seeing God's hand on all of it. I've always wanted to be pregnant in the summer time and I used to always think about how October is a great month to have a birthday! (Everyone is back from summer vacation and it's before the holidays) to find out I am due Oct. 20th and I'll be ...
