Just pulled out our Christmas book collection
I buy each kid in the heirloom quality Christmas book every year, technically it comes from our elf, and my hope is for each of them to have a beautiful collection of Christmas books for their children.
Once my youngest knows about the L I will start buying duplicates so that each kid gets a full set

I told you a few weeks ago that I was buying the Nuuds boat neck jersey knit top and I would share when it got here.
Well, it’s here and I’m sharing.
I do really like it, however I don’t think it’s comparable to the slinky rib tops which is the way they advertised it.
My mom also bought one and while the slinky ribs look amazing on her the slinky jersey hugged all the wrong curves in all the wrong places.
Make sure you buy it before they have their sale because their sales are final sale. This way you can be sure that you love the fit.

Every year at our north Pole breakfast my kids get a new pair of Christmas pajamas to wear throughout the season and a new hardback Christmas book that will serve as an heirloom gift for when they have their own kids.
This year the kids are getting a home alone, one and two as a hardback book.

Just a mom standing in the target aisles scanning all the beauty products to find the ones that are safe for pre teens skin and hair. (Only linking the ones I would by Reagan)
The pump dry shampoo scored a 2 on the EWG scale and the aerosol was a 6 (lower is better).
Face wash: good molecules - 1, bubble - 2, Byoma- not rated

One of the best practical gifts I have ever gotten, The Battery Daddy!
Keeps all of our batteries organized & tests them to make sure they are good.
I gave it to my father in law once for Christmas and at first he said “ I don’t need a gift” until he saw it and made room in his suitcase for it
