Life with ABCD

  Happy, Happy Friday! Friends, I feel like I was living life at #1 and now I am #2. I am in complete PANIC mode!!! I am still decorating our house, sending Christmas cards, and picking up last minute gifts. How are you doing?  Of course, I am linking up with Erika and Andrea to share some of my favorites from this week.  ONE:   I love The Voice and Tuesday they crowned a new winner. I will not spoil who won but I really feel like the finale was just amazing. The music, collaboration of singers, and production of each song was just so good.  I plan to watch it again maybe the day after Christmas  just to have something upbeat and exciting to have on the background. It felt like an award show but with really, really good performances. If you didn’t catch it, you should watch!  TWO: Danielle from Love, Danielle shared this countdown calendar last week. When I saw it I quickly added it to my cart for pick up.  When I got it I was so disappointed. Seriously?!?!  Wouldn't someone have

We made it to Friday! Friends, I don't know about you but my week felt ROUGH.  It was a combo of one kiddo teething, several missed naps, and late night wake ups so I am ready for a little R&R this weekend.  I think I can handle a little Christmas fun sprinkled in but not too much!  Like I do every Friday, I am linking up with Erika and Andrea for Friday Favorites!  ONE: We were able to enjoy the beautiful weather this week and had fun outside with this little roll of coloring pages from Target. Best $3 dollars spent!   TWO: I am loving mercury Christmas trees! OR  Pottery Barn?!?!  No, Target! I first spotted them online and when I went to return that puny wreath from last week,  I stumbled upon one in the store. It is gorgeous and makes my heart happy!    THREE: Y’all, when I got home with that beautiful twinkling tree   I knew I needed more.  I quickly added a medium one and a green tree 😬  The price was right and drive up made it easy.  Now, I have 3 in the kitchen but

Happy 1st Friday of December! How many shopping days until Christmas?!?!  I know that is what is on all our minds.   Via: Tina Likes What That is SO me! I have most of our shopping done but I am still needing 2 gifts for D and a gift for a dear friend. Today, I am linking up with Erika and Andrea for Friday Favorites.  It’s my favorite to write and I love reading all the others that join. I am so excited to share this week’s round up. Let’s get started! ONE: Someone in our community asked for pumpkins, squash and gourds leftover from Thanksgiving to be brought to their home to help a mini pig rescue. We only had one pumpkin to contribute but it was neat to drive up and see their front yard. It was so pretty! There were more on the right side but my angle was not the best. #worstphotographerever What a feast for all those little piggies! It felt good knowing we were not being wasteful and I told C next year we would buy more pumpkins to give more.  You can find out more about the mini

This was supposed to get done for Thanksgiving Day but I sort of got distracted. B was off Thursday and Friday so I wanted to fully enjoy his time off and enjoy our little family. Lesson learned- write ahead of time!!  I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones! Ours was very low key with just the 4 of us.  I enjoyed less stress but I missed our extended family.   I still want to share my final thankful post. First, I am so grateful to be a mommy.  The journey getting here was not easy for us and I am always amazed that there are 2 little boys I get to love. I always cry on their birthdays and on Thanksgiving because I am just so thankful and feel so blessed.  I am also thankful for B! He provides the fun, adventures,  is a great dad, and works so hard for our family.  Life with him is easy, exciting, and when we do encounter hard times we always lean and work together. I am so lucky to have him in my life! He goes along with my hair brained ideas, always changing dec
