“Don’t waste moments thinking about the past.

Move on, the best is yet to come”

Happy Friday and happy almost New Year!! I took a much needed break this past week from blogging to be able to spend time with my family and to also have the chance for me to recharge before the new year. I spent Christmas in Columbus, Ohio with my family and had the most wonderful time. I love spending time with my family, they mean everything to me. What really made this holiday so special was that it was my niece’s first Christmas. My niece and I are the best of buds. We took many walks around the house holding hands while exploring everything in sight. Sometimes we made pit stops to pick up a toy or a piece of my mother’s nativity display. We have a new inside joke and make each other laugh by pursing our lips with our pointer finger horizontal moving up and down to make noises. Pro tip: It is funnier if you stick out your tongue.

Happy Friday and Merry Christmas!!! I am home in Columbus with my family for the holiday. To say that I am excited about Christmas would be an understatement! This will be my niece’s first Christmas and I can’t wait to watch her experience Santa for the first time. There is going to be cuteness overload!!

No matter how old I get I will always create a Christmas list, and I am not opposed to sending Santa a letter either. A letter saying something like: Dear Santa, please make my life into a Hallmark movie where I trip and fall and some random guy catches me who turns out to be a prince but I don’t know he is a prince until the end, then we ride off into the sunset on a horse, but not until a Christmas angel puts me through some sort of life test. Oh and a million dollars would be cool too. I think the big jolly guy can do it. Until my Hallmark life comes true I will just have to write on my list basic every needs like a hamper and a Givenchy bag.  (more…)

Happy Friday and happy almost Christmas!! I can not wait to go home next week for the holiday and to spend time with my family! I still have a few presents left to get for family members which I am planning on doing this weekend. If you still need last minute gift ideas you can check out my gift guide here. Although I am going to be running errands this weekend I would much rather stay home in my nice warm bed and binge watch Christmas movies.
