I am almost a week behind, but my little man is 2 months old today! The answer to the question of whether he will be the baby of our family is TBD. He may be our last, he may not. We honestly are not sure yet. One thing I do know is that he is our baby at least for now and just in case he is our last, I am going to enjoy every minute and soak up every little thing about him. Weston has not been my easiest or my hardest baby. He is a good in between. Sweet most of the time, but doesn’t sleep as good as Sophie did. Eats really well, is only fussy when it is really loud (bless his heart, that is a lot of the time around here) and loves to be held and cuddled. I don’t mind that one little bit.
Southern Snow
We have finally experienced our first winter weather of the season this week and it has been so nice. While Fall is still my favorite season, I do like it when the colder weather arrives. It is a huge relief to us southern folks down here. I like that it finally felt like winter for the first time. I was able to break out my sweaters and jackets and I have really enjoyed it. Earlier in the week, it was still pretty warm and I was able to get out in our common green space area with the kiddos after a few days of rain. If you have a toddler, you know that after a few days of rainy weather, they go nuts. They were so ready to get out of the house and just run – which is exactly what we did.

New Years Goals and Plans + A Look Back on 2016
I am totally that girl that always says I am going to eat healthy this year, exercise more, read my bible every day, etc. and I do great for a couple of months, but I always give up sometime in February. Exercising is a huge part of my life. I love to run because it helps me manage my stress and anxiety and I have been slowly starting back after I was cleared to exercise a couple of weeks ago. It has felt so good and has already made me feel so much better physically nd mentally. I do have a LONG way to go and a lot of weight to lose, but I am determined more than ever to try to focus on my diet.
Christmas 2016
I’m not sure if you noticed, but I took a whole week off of blogging/working for the first time since I started over 4 years ago. To say it was needed would be the understatement of the century. Ryan had the whole week off, too and we enjoyed every minute of it. I must say, it did give me a chance to miss writing and taking photos and playing on social media and of course, all of you! It made me so thankful for this community and the friendships I have made with some of you through this. I am playing a serious game of catch up and going through hundreds of emails today, but it was all so worth the break. We were lazy and it was amazing. I haven’t seen our kids so happy in long time and it kind of made me reevaluate things a little bit, but that’s another story for another time. I want to catch you all up on our Christmas!
Friday Favorites and December POPSUGAR Must Have Box
It’s Friday and Christmas is only 2 days away!! Who’s ready? We have had a CRAZY week leading up to Christmas. Ryan has been out of town and had lot’s of meetings, so I have basically been doing it alone with the three kids and had them alone overnight for the first time since having Weston and I am Worn. Out. I am planning on resting today because we are celebrating with all of our family tomorrow and Sunday and it will be cuh-ray-zee!!
Until Christmas festivities, here are a few of my favorites this month:
Weston’s Baby Dedication
It is so hard to believe our little man is 6 weeks old! Time is seriously flying since I had him. He is growing so much and is gaining little thigh rolls that make me so happy! His cheeks are rounding out and he is just the cutest little thing. I could seriously stare at him all day. He is Hampton’s little twin, let me tell you. We can’t get over every facial expression and how much he looks like Hamp. I do think he may have blue eyes, though! I am SO excited!! My other babies inherited my brown eyes, but I am thankful that we will have a blue (or hazel) eyed child like their daddy’s pretty eyes!
FabFitFun Winter Box Review
If you’ve been around my blog for the last few months, you know how much I LOVE the FabFitFun box! It is a subscription box that only goes out once a season so it is not overwhelming, but it is also always amazing! They give you full size products, so you get more and the products usually turn out to be some of my favorites. I received my winter box last week and have really been enjoying it so far!

I don’t care what Mexican restaurant we go to, it never fails, I always order chicken enchiladas! They are so delicious. Since we moved further out of the city, we have been trying to eat all of our meals at the house so that we don’t have to drive back and forth so much. It is also so much cheaper and we are on a tighter budget, so eating at home just makes sense. It is not always easy with three babies running around, so my favorite meals to prepare are quick and easy. I love making meals that can be completely prepared and cooked in 30 minutes or less. Hello, Rachel Ray! She is a genius. I have played around with different variations of chicken enchiladas, but this is my favorite.
My Christmas Wish List
I can’t believe we are less than 2 weeks away from Christmas, and I really can’t believe how much more shopping I’ve got to do. Luckily, I have only easy people to buy for now. I got all the tough ones (meaning guys) out of the way first this year which was nice! Everyone has been asking me what I want for Christmas this year and I honestly do not NEED a thing, but I WANT all the things. So, I have put together a little wish list! I love reading what is on other people’s wish lists and I have put together a few of the things I’ve been eyeing. Most of these wants are pretty realistic and some are even downright practical! So, if you see my husband, tell him to read this one! 😉
Home Sweet Home
This weekend was such a blast! We had my family’s annual Christmas party, made some yummy enchiladas (recipe coming later this week) looked at Christmas lights, did a little Christmas shopping and enjoyed some much needed family time at home. We are still in the process of unboxing all of our stuff and I am somewhere between needing a break and wanting to give everything else away. If we have made it 3 weeks without it, surly it can go, right?
