Hey all! It’s almost Christmas! I’m frantically packing for our trip. Tomorrow morning. Early.
Raise your hand if you’re always packing at the last minute. 🙋🏻♀️
I was doing so well, trying to keep ahead of schedule and then I don’t know what happened. Kids. I suppose that’s what happened.
But that’s ok, we have all the essentials packed. By essentials, I mean all of the sweets.
I am so looking forward to a few weeks in South Dakota and Iowa. Josh is taking the rest of his paternity leave so we can have an extended stay, and I have a feeling it’s going to be great! Yay!
Here’s to a very happy holiday! I hope you all cherish your time with loved ones. Let’s kick off the festivities with some of my favorites things.
