A Staycation and a Surprise

Jimmy took off of work on Thursday and Friday last week and it was so wonderful to have some extra time together as a family!

With Jimmy being a co-owner of his family’s business, work never actually stops. It’s just part of the package deal of business ownership, you know? He had to quickly run into work early (like 6 am) on Thursday, took phone calls throughout the day, and had to pick up one of his employees from the hospital (😱) but we made the best of it all!

I grabbed us all Starbucks once he got home and we made our way to a local mall in the afternoon.

Sadie loved running around the play area while we sat and watched her. It was such a simple moment but so sweet ❤️ (more…)

Christmas Books for Toddlers

Just like I shared our favorite toddler Thanksgiving books last month, I’m here to share our favorite Christmas books this month! There’s something so special about pulling out our bin of seasonal books for each holiday we celebrate. I hope Sadie forms special memories of this tradition as she grows up 🥰

We don’t do the whole Santa thing, so these books won’t mention that aspect of Christmas. However, they’re all wonderful books that we personally own, read, and love! If you have any favorite children’s books for Christmas that you recommend, please share in the comments below!
