This was part of my bday gifts one week ago today This was part of my bday gifts one week ago today 💖 It says "luxury jewelry candle"... I thought that was just the brand 🤷‍♀️ But now I'm about 1/3 through it and this clump of shiny foil looking area on the side has started to emerge. I think there's a surprise of some kind inside 🤷‍♀️ will share updates 🥰 It smells yummy! And I'm 39...also @jodiesweetin just turned 39...I didn't know we were the same age and born so close together. That made me happy to learn 💖
I have been meaning to share the story of our litt I have been meaning to share the story of our little tree and keep trying to post it but then get distracted. So I'll keep it short: we donated our normal sized tree last spring so we could have uniform organization in our garage. Still working on that, but I must say I have loved having a little tree as much as I love having a little house. It's so light to take down! And it fit in the storage bin ❤️ which made me so happy. I guess I thought we had to have a big tree, but I don't think that anymore. 🎄

Also, I feel compelled to start sharing more photos of the mess because as nice as it is to share the groomed photos, it's not exactly fair in my opinion when it's not a true picture of of how it really is. So enjoy the last 2 pictures: just a few of the junky messes in our house that are driving me crazy at the moment 🤣 but, I am determined to get organized and I'm happy to share my progress along the way 🥰

I normally find putting away Christmas decorations I normally find putting away Christmas decorations to be annoying/depressing/burdensome. But I'm excited to finally get my garage bins labeled and organized so it has actually been kind of nice to start putting a few things away. The tree stays though. At least until my bday this month because that's tradition 💖
My bedroom/office update I have been working on ov My bedroom/office update I have been working on over the past few days. Don't be fooled though - there's still a final junk pile in this room, and the rest of the house and our closet will be keeping me busy for the foreseeable future. But I genuinely love getting organized. And also I think it's a lie that you just have to get tidy once and then you can relax and not worry about it. It's a constant thing to be organized and I'm feeling a strong "I can't live like this anymore" vibe against the clutter at the moment 💖 •

Throwback to when it was Christmas Eve, my Christm Throwback to when it was Christmas Eve, my Christmas tree candle still had a little life left, and I ate way too many overdone cookies just because they were there but also under the guise of creating a realistic Santa cookie plate experience...for no one but myself because no one else noticed or cared 🤣 Oh and the sidebar was decluttered for about 30 seconds 💖

Yelled our by a random zoo-goer in close proximity 🎄•

Well I had to make the executive decision to chang Well I had to make the executive decision to change the title of my photo book from "The First Years" to "The Baby Years" because I'm up to Emma's 9 month photos and have 2 pages left out of 40. So maybe there will be a sequel book next year called "The Toddler Years"...or something. Maybe.🤷‍♀️
