Happenings at Home

Hey friend! I am so glad you popped in today. Every Saturday we meet here and catch up on all the things. Its very relaxed and I love Welcome Home Saturdays!

This week was a long week. Both girls have been sick, sore throats and cough, so they each missed some school and I had to pick each of them up early one day. It’s been going around here. How about where you are? I’m hoping next week is better.

Today we are heading to a basketball tourney at Grace’s high school for two games. Crossing our fingers she gets to play since she has been sick.

For dinner we have fun plans to celebrate my brother in-laws birthday at The Rio ( a really fun Mexican restaurant)! He is an amazing guy and I can’t wait to celebrate him. Tonight promises to be really fun, the Rio is alwasy fun!

On Sunday I hope we can rest, go to church and finalize our Christmas gifts. I really need just a few more but I also haven’t wrapped a single one! Have you?

This Week On The Blog

It was a busy week! On Monday I shared 138+ Fantastic Christmas Ideas to Inspire you! A fabulous round-up that I highly suggest you check it out.

Gift Wrapping Essentials and Pajamas

Here are two new collages for you. First up is the Holiday Gift Wrapping Essentials collage. I have been thinking a lot about starting to wrap Christmas gifts and I just got this Christmas wax seal stamp and these wax melts to go with it. How pretty would this be on some ribbon , or wrapping paper, or the back of your Christmas cards I am so excited to try it!

Growing up my parents always got us matching pajamas to open on Christmas eve. Did you have this tradition too? I have carried it on with our family as well. So if you are still looking the family pajamas collage below has some great options. I got our from Old Navy this year!
