big things happening at bedtime tonight! but now i need to know… how much is the tooth fairy leaving these days?!! and is it different for the FIRST lost tooth?! 🦷✨🤪

#LTKKids #LTKHome #LTKdayinmylife

ended my day with tea & cookies & started a movie with the hubs (but only half cuz i was too sleepy)

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKfoodie #LTKHoliday

i had a hard day yesterday. a bad attitude around every corner kind of day. i took a nap after church and the bad attitude persisted even after i woke up. i went out to do some holiday shopping and thought it cleared away, and it returned as soon as I crossed the threshold and entered the door.

but i refuse to let a bad attitude remain during this season. whether it’s hormonal, or just plain sin, i’m determined to set into practice a way to slow my mind and center my heart. i’m determined to set the mood in our home and for my kids. one of thankfulness and joy… one of kindness and love.

i love the season of advent. the anticipation. the centering of my mind and my heart. this year i’m gifting the kids some fun advent calendars so they can also feel that little bit of joy and anticipation each morning… but i’m also making sure we focus as a family (and my husband and I as individuals). I learned the hard way a few years ago to always order our advent studies as early as they are released, so this year we are prepared with the family bundle of advent devotionals from @thedailygraceco - and then I was also gifted a copy of the advent study for this year from @shereadstruth - perhaps the Lord knew that I was going to need some extra help centering my heart and mind this season. 😌

feeling festive in this red merry sweater!

does anyone else feel like a pretty water bottle helps you drink more water?

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHome #LTKfoodie

my other best friend - just elevated. 😅 i’ve been going through lots of tissues. this is the box cover that i got for my office bookshelf. it has a magnetic bottom which is awesome so that i can easily pick up the entire box. comes in lots of colors. i have the beige linen (it has rose gold trim)

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHome #LTKdayinmylife

It’s become family tradition that after we decorate the Christmas tree, the kids get new Christmas pajamas for the season (I usually size up so they can wear them for 2 seasons), and a new Christmas book. This year I also added in some Yoto card audiobooks.

was time for an upgrade and the sale on this smart tv was just too good!!

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKHome #LTKCyberWeek

#LTKTravel #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

they’re not as cheap as my previous pair from target, but they are still under $50 which is a lot better than other large name brands that i had been researching. so many CUTE colors. i’ll keep an eye and let you know if they ever go on sale!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKShoeCrush #LTKFindsUnder50

i’m just at that stage of life now where comfort needs to win out over cute….. but a huge bonus when they align 😍 // this right here is why i bought these rain boots and they are truly like walking on a cloud

#LTKShoeCrush #LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder50

i finally decided to upgrade my rain boot game and go for some that are orthopedic (my last ones were cute chelsea boots like this, but were so flat and hard to walk on & really hurt if i was walking for longer than 2 minutes* in them *slight exaggeration
