Mitten Moments

Another weekend has come to an end and it’s time to share all my Mitten Moments with you! I can’t wait for you to see what I have found!

My Personal Mitten Moments

I spent some time this weekend working on my Christmas decor. I have bins and bins of Christmas decor that I’ve collected over the years!

Please tell me I am not the only one!

Anyway, I’ve decided that this is the year…the year that I divide some of it between my kids and donate some that hasn’t been used in years. Trust me when I say that I will still have more than plenty leftover for myself!

I started this past week by giving my oldest son the 9 ft artificial tree we always used when the boys were growing up. His home has high ceilings which is perfect for the tree. I know it will be well loved and new memories will be made while gathered around it. He was so grateful to get it and it makes my heart happy to pass it down to him and his sweet little family.

    Kim that’s so great that you gave your tree to your son. I’m sure he will cherish it. I was thinking as I was drowning in bins and boxes this weekend that I need to do some downsizing too!!

    Thank you so much for sharing my cheesecake recipe. If you try it, you’ll have to let me know.

    Hugs!

    I have as many bins as you and I am doing the same thing this week, sorting them out. Sadly, our kids don’t want any more. But donating it to people who do is always an option.

    Off to check out your links!

    It’s so sweet of you to give your kids holiday decorations, Kim! I know they appreciate having a suite of decor at the ready. I swear every time I walk into the aisle of the store and see something pink or glittery I get WAY off track so I know it helps to have everything coordinated and together. Thank you for sharing my cake pop ornaments. I really appreciate it! Hugs, CoCo
