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! 💫

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!

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 ...

Last Minute Gift Idea

Can you believe Christmas is only 6 days away?!?! I feel like Tyler and I just put up the tree! This is such a busy time of year for both my work and social life! But I love it! I am about done wrapping gifts for our family members. But it dawned on me that I left a few people out! Our neighbors, the mail man, my youth students, and a couple long distant cousins. So I had this simple and cheap Christmas gift idea! I used holiday to-go mugs and filled it with candy and packets of hot chocolate! I put a cute bow on top and gift tag and I was done! I think they turned out pretty great! Here are some pics! Let me know your last minute Christmas gift ideas! Or if you decided to give mine a try! Xo Xo ~ Valerie                                         Here are the mugs with bows and gift tags that I added!  What's Inside .... 3 packets of Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate! ...

Happy October! - It's baby month!!

It's been ahile since I've had time to update my blog! Thank you so much to those of you who have been following along with me on my social platforms! It means the world to me. Today is October 1st, which means it's baby month!! I cannot believe it! I feel like I have been pregnant FOREVER! At the same time, I can't believe baby Chloe will be here in 3 short weeks!I have been doing everything I can to prepare, yet I still feel so scared of the unkown. I'm going to be honest with you, I have never even changed a diaper before! So my experience with babies is little to none. But I know God puts that natural mother instinct into us women to care for our babies. So I just keep reminding myself of that. We had a beautiful unicorn themed baby shower back in July and Tyler and I did our maternity photos with Morgan Maria last month. The nursey is ready to go and hospital bags are packed! Now I am just trying to enjoy the last couple weeks of it just being Tyler and I - the...
