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 way it's been for 7 years! I'm also trying to take in the fact that I can do whatever I want! - Nap, shop, bake, sleep in .... whatever! Because I know for a fact that is all about to change! So many things have happended in our family since CoCo has been in my belly (that's her nicname Tyler and I call her) We had to put our dog, Mosey down in August which was one of the worst things I've ever had to do. That same month my Grandpa Gary's health took a turn for the worst and he ended up passing on 9/11. A couple weeks ago my sister, Jamie's daughter Ashley tragically died in her sleep. It's been a roller coaster of emotions to say the least. Oh! and throw covid on top of all that, It's been a crazy year! But having Chloe LaVonne in my belly through it all has brought us so much hope and peace. She is going to bring such joy to our family I already know it. It's been a journey, but I am excited to meet our baby girl, Chloe LaVonne Burton this month! She's due on 10-20-20 but I had a dream last week that she was showing me her face and popping her arms and legs through my belly saying, "I'm coming on the 15th!" and I was pushing her back in saying, "No! You have to wait until the 20th!" LOL so we'll see when she comes! Here are some photos I wanted to share! Thanks so much for reading and following my journey! The best is yet to come!

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! ...

What's To Come

I'm really looking forward of what's to come after all of this Corona-Crazy comes to an end! Although I'm LOVING working from home! I'm excited to for our first church gathering and our first night back at high school youth group! I can't wait for all the smiles, hugs, and laughs that will be shared! I really believe and pray that people will appreciate each other and the little things in life more than we used to!  I'm also really looking forward to our gender reveal party Tyler and I are going to host at our house next month! And we FINALLY get to find out if Baby Burton is a boy or girl! I feel like it's a girl, Tyler is convinced it's a boy! lol I don't even care at this point! I just want to know!!!! So I've been keeping my focus on the great things to come, instead of the negatives... which has really helped me during this time of being alone. I've also realized I'm more of a homebody/ introvert than I thought! lol Of course soc...

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!
