I had yesterday off and I got up early and dropped Connor off at school ( Oh yes I did…because I’m paying for it anyway!) Then I came home and started to watch TV and felt so unproductive. So I decided I’d haul out ALL our Christmas stuff from the attic (after Terence told me to wait until after Thanksgiving), but I thought he would appreciate my effort to get everything done while I was home with no distractions. BAM!
Got it all done yesterday. My Christmas décor is up and I am HAPPY! My back and arms are incredibly sore from hauling boxes from the attic. Totally worth it though…it’s not so much the Christmas décor I love. It’s the tree and the lights at night. I just love the warm glow it gives in the house.
So, yay for a short week and having all my Christmas stuff DONE! I walked into Starbucks this morning and was overtaken by the new array of gift cards they offer. The art on these little cards is amazing yuns. I had to stand there and take them all in…
After I absorbed all the cards then I bought my annual Starbucks cup ornaments this year. I also tried the new chestnut latte and it’s actually not too bad!!!
My BFF Sarah….who you see here as we are devouring Sprinkles Sundaes last week…

I’m using my new Seattle’s Best Coffee USB mug warmer this morning. We’ve had a cold front come through and I’m loving this coffee warmer. Right now you can go HERE and enter to win hundreds of prizes throughout the month of November.
Also, don’t forget to follow me on Instagram to enter to win a free photoshoot (DFW area only).
It’s taking everything I have not to put our Christmas tree up… but we are hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year and I don’t want the tree up for that
HOLY CANOLI ….. Kudos to you for taking Connor to school on your day off, no shame in that. AT ALL. I should be cleaning and straightening up the house right now, clear everything off every surface, shelf, mantel, etc. to get ready for Christmas décor but, alas, I’m sitting here watching The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, editing photos, and reading blog posts. Obviously, I’m not getting my to-do list accomplished. But I really NEEEEEEEED to get my house decorated early because of Kamden’s first birthday party in a couple of weeks. Ughhh, I wish I could snap my fingers and it be done.
I’m awful & can’t remember exactly, but you posted that Starbucks stopped making eggnog lattes around here? Anyway, I was in Braums last night & they have it as a holiday beverage! Not as handy as Starbucks, but an option!
