Old school selfies. Head shots from the 70’s. My paternal grandmother, we share a first name. My Mother at younger than me, we share a middle name. My maternal grandmother, we share “you don’t look your age”.
I’ve been refreshing, we will call it tweaking a bit over winter Lovies. I miss you all dearly.

Learning to let it go

I’m adding the words they and them for myself this year. Working to give more energy to activities and relationships that matter and leave time wasting, chaos causing habits and drama filled relationships behind. You don’t have to be all burn the bridge about it either. Baby steps of turning toward the “right” things and removing your efforts and energy from the rest will surely send the message Lovies. Enjoy your journey and spend your precious time where it matters and makes a difference

We had the Pottery Barn Cameron shelves painted white and moved both desks into the playroom. It’s not done yet but here is the progress so far.

My Favorite Christmas Decoration. My Godmother’s Nativity Set.

I kept it very easy this year. Red, White, a little bit of silver. The new polka dot ribbon is velvet, such a nice change for my glitter torn hands. The secret to the mesh in the tree is to really shove it in there. The silver little tress were $1 at Dollar Tree and the sparkly snowflakes will stay in our house until Valentine’s Day. I forgot to take pics of the bathroom, but it’s got the Grinch bobble-head in it again for when the holiday spirit is hard to muster! I took a leap and wrapped the presents to match the decor this year. Hobby Lobby’s wrapping paper is the best and I’m never buying anything else. I’m publishing the pics rough and I’ll come back and arrange and provide details later, I have some last minute presents to wrap Lovies. I hope you and yours have an amazing, joyous and wonderful Christmas and Holiday Season!

Best,

Laura
