Clan lord yadda7/30/2023 ![]() ![]() It looks pretty great if I do say so myself. I saw my love for rusty, galvanized metal finally have a purpose!!! I put my tree stand inside of an old wash basin. I did have one moment of brilliance when setting up my tree. so I had to step it up a notch this time around ( FYI Minted is the best!!! I have extra cards, so send me your address and I can even mail ya one!). This year I did managed to get some awesome Christmas cards made. Last year, Tony told me h e was embarrassed of our cards. I know that makes me sound like The Grinch 2.0, but Lord help me if I have to hear ' Christmas Shoes' one more time. Every year for our 9 years of wedded bliss, the putting up of the Christmas tree has caused a fight with me and the mister. We actually decided to hire a company to do that for us this year, and nope, didn't even get that far. I dream of a house and barn with perfectly strung white lights that make people think I live in Pinterest land. But this year I didn't even get my kids the cheap $2.29 advent calendars and nope, still can't find the stockings. Every year I decide I'm going to be that mom - you know, the one with fancy advent calendars and stockings hung with care. Of course it's exciting and a time to reflect on the birth of Jesus - but it's also a whole lot of work. Half of the time I want to be Cindy Lou and half of the time I just end up being a Scrooge. I'll be honest, I still haven't decided about this whole Christmas deal. and my in laws who were babysitting my nieces - sorry mom and ma!) Stay tuned for that blog post! With this being my theme for my 30's what better way then to start than with a killer party with those that I love ( minus my parents. who were on vacation. ![]() whether that's one more mouth to feed or one more hug shared with a friend. I want to be a woman who always has room for one more. That is how I want my 30's to be defined. To stop being so consumed with my life and my stuff, and to notice the boy walking down the street with no where to sleep. Sometimes I get so caught up in doing " great" things that I forget that my heart really is to just notice people. But noticing wasn't enough - she stopped and she did something about it. Of all the people who drove past that boy - she noticed him. The one scene that has been playing over in my mind is the part where Leigh Anne Touhy ( Sandra) tells her husband to stop the car and she gets out and asks this boy where he is going - when he was clearly lying she asks him flat out if he has anywhere to stay - when he doesn't, she says: " get in the car". what I can't stop thinking about, as silly as it is, is " The Blindside" ( you know - the movie with Sandra Bullock) I watched it again recently and I cried like a baby. While I probably should be resolutioning about reading more books, working out more ( or ever), eating healthier and saving more money. ![]() ![]() I may as well be cliche and start my 30's off right. But I've decided that this year while everyone thinks about New Years resolutions and yaddi yadda. Having a birthday in January does kinda tend to stink. I could actually feel myself becoming an adult at certain moments. But it was a beautiful decade - I grew up. moving 9 times and starting two businesses - yeah crazy. You know things like getting married at twenty, having a 3 month old on your first wedding anniversary (and then adding 4 more babies to the clan in the 5 years that follow). I wasn't expecting the mixed emotions that I have - a decade changing means the closing of one chapter and being on the brink of a whole new one. ![]()
