My Personal Moments
- The highlight of the week was celebrating Big Al’s birthday! Dinner, cake, and gifts with the family…nothing better. It was just as he wanted!
- Did you know I put together a Christmas tree for my granddaughters to enjoy? It’s Nutcracker themed and I finally finished decorating it, this week. It’s pink, purple, all things girly and turned out just as I imagined! I posted a sneak peak on Instagram, but if you missed it, stayed tuned because I’m going to write a post all about it. What a blessing to be able to do something so magical for them!
My Favorite Weekly Find
Let’s hear it for this denim dress! I purchased it for a baby shower and it did not disappoint. This long-sleeve button-down dress is a versatile and stylish piece that can be dressed up or down. It features a belted waist to accentuate your figure and pockets for added convenience. I love pockets! I wore it with a pair of cognac colored suede boots and it was perfect!

My friend, KariAnne from Thistlewood Farms, also made an amazing ornament. Using Mod Podge and napkins she created the prettiest DIY for her tree! I love using Mod Podge so you better believe I’ll be making this craft for Christmas!
