My most favorite holiday hands down is today.  Freaking LOVE this holiday so much, in fact, I mentioned it in my wedding vows.  True story.  I decorate as early as first week of September and I don't care who judges that.  I know I sound like a lunatic and it's fine. I guess it's my favorite holiday because I have awesome Halloween memories as long as I can remember.  I've always had super fun costumes since this holiday speaks to my creative spirit.  Could be my fave holiday because I enjoy spooky/scary movies and stories year round anyways.  Lastly, of course, the snacks ain't half bad.  #AlmondJoyFTW This picture grabs my heart.  We are missing our Pepper girl so hard and one of the biggest reasons we are functioning even at all is because of that little gal right there.  She is adjusting for sure but she has not let her love us hard nature waiver one bit.  We're in this together that's for sure. Happy Halloween to all a...

Via       The always fabulous and wonderfully creative Kelle Hampton, blogger of Enjoying the Small Things , shared this super fun holiday bucket list on her Insta stories and you bet your hot cocoa I snagged a screen shot!  She's shared others before and I always appreciate her way of celebrating the heck out of all the things.  She is truly #goals when it comes to loving her tribe and embracing life daily.  I promptly sent this to my girlfriends with a "want to give it a go as best we can???" message and each committed at least partially. As I'm finding out more each day, I am interested in what I've come to think of as elaborate simplicity.  It's insanely not complex; I like to celebrate every day stuff with little extras people often reduce to only "special occasions".  I'm a strong believer in wearing the good shoes, using the nice dishware, and throwing down some confetti if it means you're enjoying the now while appreciating a...

What I love about Sundays.   I'm making lists for the week aka my zen, happy place, while hunter and the girls enjoy rest.   Roni's little fox face popping up kills me. Lists are the best part of my week.   Or at least the cornerstone, the backbone, the push I need.   As much as I enjoy making lists I enjoy crossing items off even more. Getting ready for the week ahead with a guideline checklist for all of our agency's clients helps me enter Mondays with ease and strategy, saving grace for when things go off list. I also made out a Christmas gift idea list.   My goal is to really simplify gift giving by going with a less is more approach.   I would like to provide meaningful experience type gifts like passes to a children's museum or tickets to a performance for our niece and nephew for example.   We've done the bunch of toys route before so it'll be fun to mix it up. Back to Sundaying, pasta and veggies coming right up! ...
