Favorite Christmas Card: Blogmas14 Day 2

Published by

Okay so I really wanted to make if over to my parents house to find some old Christmas photos for this post, but I didn’t get that far. I’ll save those gems for later ;) haha so here’s my favorite Christmas card. It’s actually from last year. It was the first card Danny and I sent out together and if I do say so myself I think it turned out pretty adorable. If you’re new here… you may notice I’m a little pup-obsessed (just a smidge) ;). These are my little fur babies (if you’re bored and halfway interested, read their adoption stories here). So anyway, we tried to do a little Christmas photo shoot in the snow for our card last year. You can see how well that turned out. That top right photo… that was the best photo we got of Finn. Here it is bigger: Tongue out… pulling on his leash… this is typical everyday Finn. I love that crazy pup so much! And for Zoe’s picture… Danny was taking pictures trying …

A Letter to Santa

Published by

Okay, okay here I go… joining in for the 25 Days of Christmas, in all of its blogging glory! This is the most amazing time of year, after all. Why not join in on the fun? :) See all of the prompts here or here. Dear Santa, It’s been a while since I’ve written you a letter. Sorry I haven’t been in touch. But I know you’ve had your hands full. Speaking of… Santa, you’ve seen a good number of years go by… do you find that the time seems to go by faster every year? I can’t believe how quickly this year came and went. I say it every year, but it never ceases to impress me. Sorry, Santa, did I just call you old? My dad would say you must be drinking green smoothies. Do you drink green smoothies, Santa? Looking back, it was always so exciting waiting for you to come. It was the only day of the year my sister would wake up before me. And it was all because of you, Santa. …

Sunday Sew Love: 30 November

Published by

This week was extra exciting for me… Thursday was not only an awesome day of eating and family time, it was also my official official last day in the military! On Friday, I received my “Certificate of Release from Active Duty” form and email and it was such a weird feeling. I’ve been on terminal leave for the past month, so I haven’t been at work, but it still feels different. More on that later! I hope everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving had an awesome one! And for everyone else, I hope you still had some great food and a very happy Thursday. We had an awesome meal with the fam; my aunt and grandma made it down for the day. My grandma has a hard time getting around so my Aunt told her if she wanted to come see her great grandbaby she needed to be able to use her walker. So she got up a few times a day to practice with her walker so they could come visit! So sweet… she’s so excited to …

Stitch Fix #6 – November

Published by

Got home from Vegas to a wonderful surprise! My November Stitch Fix box! Okay so technically I knew it was coming, but it was exciting nonetheless. ;) It was scheduled to come the day we were leaving but after a quick email to the Stitch Fix peeps they changed the date no problem. Love their customer service! Here’s what I got this month — my request was for some items to wear for work. Tulle Abner Long Sleeve Textured Sheath Dress | $68 | Status: Sent back I wanted to love this dress. The color was really nice and it had a fun texture and perfect length, but it just didn’t fit quite right. Would be a great holiday dress, though! Market and Spruce Jay Mini Houndstooth Printed Skirt | $58 | Status: Sent back Since I started sewing, I’m so much more critical of RTW clothing. This skirt was okay, but it was definitely something I felt would be a super easy sew so I wasn’t about to pay $58 for it. I’m sure …
