It is Christmas eve. At least 1 child and 1 husband are asleep. I am still awake hoping to catch Santa.😉 Tonight went alright. We had Christmas with Chris' side of the family. Despite our differences with his brother and his brother's wife, it wasn't too bad. I think it has actually been 2 years... Continue Reading →
Oops! I didn't intend on skipping yesterday, but yesterday was a rough day for me. So I am not shocked that I forgot to post. The kid's sleep schedule has been all over the place the last couple of weeks. The lack of sleep for me certainly isn't helpful. My husband also got a promotion... Continue Reading →
4 more days til Christmas!😱😱😱😱 We had our family Christmas Saturday afternoon, with my side of the family; socially distanced of course. There was yummy food, good movies, and gifts. It was a good time. We also stayed in our pajamas all day (it was our advent activity). Yesterday we stayed home and did some... Continue Reading →
Hurray! This is the first time in at least a week I haven't been forced to stay up til midnight for the sake of the elf. 😅 One thing that is difficult during the holiday season, at least for me, is trying to remain consistent with weight loss. I started the keto lifestyle, 2 years... Continue Reading →
I wasn't sure I would make it to posting tonight. My oldest child has lost 2 teeth this week. He has my sleeping tendencies [taking forever to fall asleep], so I have had to wait up for the tooth fairy to come. Plus, our good elf pal, Bob, tends to cause mischief at night too.... Continue Reading →

Happy Monday everyone! We have 11 days left until Christmas day. I am still trying to figure out where this year went. "Time keeps on slippin, into the future." Anyway.. Every year around my birthday, Chris' work usually has a Christmas/safety party. This year because of the pandemic they decided not to have one. It... Continue Reading →
Today started as a blah sort of day. I didn't sleep very well last night and was having some really annoying tremors all day. I wound up vegetating in my bed as much as I could (while also caring for all 3 littles) to just try and rest. Christmas is suppose to be the season... Continue Reading →
Snuggle up with a warm blanket, grab some snacks, and put on a feel good movie. I for one enjoy all the above. I have been using my time at night, after the kids go to bed, to watch the movies that I want to watch. I have been trying to watch Christmas movies that... Continue Reading →
"All my friends are heathens take it slow..." That song comes to mind a lot lately. You see, we have this elf that comes to visit us every December. Last year was his first year here and he caused some serious mayhem! I call him our heathen because he is always leaving me messes to... Continue Reading →
