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!

                                        Here are the mugs with bows and gift tags that I added! 


What's Inside ....

3 packets of Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate!


Pieces of Godiva chocolates 


      I put these in some of the cups instead of the candy


Gift tags and bows are from Target 




Then I decided to add a little bag of Marshmallows to go with the Hot Chocolate! 
You can get these holiday bags at Dollar Tree.

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...

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...
