Moments: A Three Month Wrap Up

So it’s been a heck of long time since I’ve written or posted anything on here. My last post was around Halloween with the details of Elise’s last minute knight costume.

The holiday rush has finally settled and I’m really finding my groove, my place, at my new job (going on 5 months soon!). So now I think it’s an appropriate time to start writing and posting again.

What has happened in the past 3-ish months? Well, for one I have not stopped writing, that’s for sure. I’ve been writing pretty dedicatedly in journals, scribbling away ideas, daily reflections and plotting ways to save the world (or at least the ones around me ;)). And I certainly did not stop taking photos of my irresistible little Elise, who has been going through a “3” stage (3 years old, 3 feet tall and still not quite 30 pounds).

Here’s a visual recap of the highlights of the past three (there it is again!) months:

DIY Holidays: Holiday Ornaments Ideas from Apartment Therapy

image

This week has been an exhausting one filled with work, new work opportunities, a husband with strep, toddler care, and Thanksgiving preparations. Once the storm of activity and care-taking settled down, I was happy to just put up the ole Christmas tree and decorate it. Our tree is rather sparse and so I’m happy to find this post about some DIY holiday decorations. I definitely wanna try out the felt ornaments, I think they’d add a nice, different texture to the tree.

What have you been doing this holiday weekend? Did you put up your holiday decorations already? Or do you like to wait a little longer?
