#1 CHRISTMAS CARDS
I shared our Christmas cards from the past just last week and right this minute I’m feeling like Kevin in Home Alone. At this minute, I’m not exactly sure my cards are going to make it in time this year! I thought the company I ordered from would print, add the postage, and ship directly. But, I was wrong. Do you guys know of any companies that do it this way to save the step of mailing to me and then me shipping out? I know it won’t help me one bit this year but I’m already thinking of a new strategy for 2021.
#2 SAFETY
I know most of us are deep in our list of Christmas movies right now so you might not be able to watch this now but remember it in January. Disney Plus has a new movie called, Safety, that’s so very good. My kids watched it with their sitter on Friday night and they liked it so much they had me watch it with them on Saturday. I laughed AND I cried!
#3 FRIDAY FAVORITES
My round-up of favorites this past Friday was all sweaters and tops from Walmart. The top on the left was my absolute FAVORITE…comes in lots of colors and has the cutest puff sleeves. I do recommend sizing up. Middle sweater and sweater on the right. 🙂
#4 ALL EVEN
This past weekend I did that thing where I made sure all my kids’ Christmas gifts looked even. Every year without fail EVEN WHEN I’M MAKING A LIST, I manage to have one kid who has way less than the others. I’m frantically ordering a few small things right now to ensure everyone is even! And I remember being a kid and my mom doing this. I didn’t understand at the time why it was so important to her but I get it now!
#5 MOST POPULAR OUTFIT MAYBE EVER
I don’t know if I’ve ever gotten more questions or comments on an outfit before from the earrings to the pullover to the leggings to the bracelets to the boots, you guys were fans. Lots of you asked if I’d do this more often, just share what I’m wearing that day and I’m committed! Now some days you might see me in an old ratty shirt and leggings BUT I’ll give you a peek!
We had a great weekend and did lots of Christmas movie watching with the fireplace going and all the twinkling lights. I’m not complaining but I did keep thinking back to what our typical weekends look like leading up to Christmas and they’re much busier. No Christmas parade this year, no Christmas program at preschool, no big Christmas parties where all the parents attend. It’s very different and I know from your messages where you are looks even more different than how things look here in Texas. I read this devotion earlier this week and it was such a great reminder that God isn’t surprised by anything that has happened in 2020. And he won’t be surprised by what our 2021 looks like. God knows what the future holds and if we ask, He’ll give us just the strength we need to face any challenges that arise. Praying for your week, friends!
