Hello and a belated Happy Holidays to you! I actually started this post in the MIDDLE of the Holiday Season and now I sit in the last days of Winter Break, brain in a hibernational fog (inventing words, it seems), trying to finish what I started before the clock strikes New Year! …I’m still working on the holiday cards, too. sigh ADD-Time Management Issues are AWESOME! Anyway, I know it’s late but I HAD to complete this post for my…
For this week’s Mom Style post I’m going to share with you how I create Fun, Festive, Holiday Outfits by shopping clearance, sales, and my closet! I REALLY get into the holiday spirit and this includes dressing in Holiday themed outfits from Thanksgiving through Christmas! Here are some of my favorites, to give you a little inspiration =o). All photos are by me, from my Instagram Feed. I have the crazier themed outfits at the top and more toned down looks below. Elffin around in this fun ensemble…….
Rosemary (11), has learned of the Magic behind Santa. She has questioned many times over the past 2-3yrs, but after we talk and I tell her that Santa only exists as long as you believe he exists, she has always dedicated herself to continued believing… Until last weekend when I totally messed up and forgot a box filled with Santa gifts by the computer one night (online shopping and didn’t want to double up on things) and she found them in the morning and questioned…

If you watch the video, please keep in mind you are watching a family who has zero video making experiences beyond filming our annual Happy Birthday-cake cutting traditions. It was equal parts total video disaster that I really do NOT want to share with the world, and yet also a labor of love that I can’t wait to post because it fulfills one of Rosemary’s long time dreams of…
Hi people! This is Rosemary! If you’re wondering why Lavender is not posting it’s because she is 6 years old and can’t spell or write yet. So today is Friday which means 8 more days till Halloween!!!
