I’m not a troll! Also my dad also had a torn retina and had to have surgery 2 days before Christmas. Hope you are healing quickly. It looks like a super sucky thing to deal with.

My kids go to a French school and a lot of the kids bring them in! They clearly missed the no touching thing. Or are all ‘c’est la vie’ about it (I don’t know, I’m clearly not the French speaking parent in my house).

Yeah. I did not want to do the creepy elf on the shelf at all. But then my middle child came home and made a little elf bed and wrote a letter to Santa. Her friends at school told her that was how to get an elf at your house. So we’ve had one for 3 years now. Thanks school.

My grandma gifted me this one Christmas. Miss you grams!

I haven’t heard of that one! This is the year I finally decided to stop complaining about how I always miss seeing The Year Without a Santa Claus on tv and ordered the dvd.

I see nothing wrong with this. Except for those pants.

I almost clicked to see what the flower article was about. But then I red rose flashed in my head and I remembered......

And me.

That should be “I love this post.” Where did that edit button go?

I this post! My fave gift ever is the china set I found at a thrift store and sent my mom to buy for me. It is the same china that my great grandmother had.

Oh shoot. I still haven’t picked up Archie #3! Must almost be time for #4...

Finally! I’ve been waiting all day to see you guys post something about this! I loved watching such a diverse cabinet being sworn in.

And I loved that every time he was questioned about his cabinet choices and gender parity, he didn’t defend it by saying he chose the women because they are women, he chose them because they are qualified to do the job! And so much diversity in the entire cabinet. I love it.

Surprise toy indeed......

Ivory is always too pink or too yellow for me too! What do you use???

My hubby asked me to pluck a white hair out of his red beard this morning. Just embrace it.

This sounds awesome. Where do I sign up?

And suddenly I feel much better about being a Huckabee.

My husband’s cousin runs her own business that is just Brazilian Blowouts. It worries me but I know it can be a sensitive subject so I don’t ask her about side effects (plus I’ve only met her twice since she lives a few provinces away). Last time I saw her she looked healthy and I’ve never heard her mention any side…

Only in the morning.....
