Clean.Clean.Clean

Well, for the last week or so I have been "nesting". Seems like nothing is clean enough! I do consider myself yes, a CLEAN FREAK but what can I say I love everything about it. The payoff of good hardwork around the house is priceless. My recent tasks have included washing walls, baseboards, blinds, carpets, and of course all of the usual housecleaning day to day things. And, if I am going to clean like this I clean with what I consider one of the best products from a company called Caldrea. The countertop cleaner I cannot live without. Literally. My closet is STOCKED with this at all times. If you have not tried any of Caldrea's products you are missing out, it is a must have. It makes me so happy! They have a special vegetable protein extract that removes odors, essential oils and tree bark extract cuts the grease. In my opinion, best cleaning product on the market, the scent lasts for hours. And it is so much better then spraying chemical in the air. All of there scents are fabulous, but I am partial to the lavender and citrus spray.
To feed my addiction, my wonderful Mom got me and entire bag FULL of Caldrea products for Christmas...
{hand soap, counter cleaner, hand balm, candle} ahh, so spoiled
Happy Cleaning

No Words.


This was my Christmas gift from my brother. I have no words to describe how perfect, beautiful, detailed, and amazing this is. (okay maybe I do) It captures everything about my son the colors, skin tones, hair color, eyes, just amazing! I opened it and just lost it, I couldn't talk just sobbed. Brandon is so SO talented, he worked so incredibly hard on this and I don't even know where he found the time to do it. Between all of his classes, website building, painting, sketches...etc, etc.. He did this amazing piece! I cannot stop staring at it. I found it's perfect home, in my bedroom across from my bed. I wake up to it and am just in awe everytime. This will be such a treasure to our family. I still cannot believe how lucky I am to have such an amazing brother and for him to give me such a piece of him.
Thank you a million times over...No words.

The Big Guy...

Every year we take Brayden to see the Big Man, and have breakfast. Each time it gets more fun! I have been talking to him about not being "shy" with Santa and that he needed to tell him what he wanted...Brayden is pretty shy around people sometimes, which is ok...Rest assured I know he WILL NOT talk to strangers! All week he told me, "Mom, I won't alright..I will talk."

What do you think happened? :) Still our shy little man but in total awe of Santa, of course he was a million questions when we got in the car..."Where are his reindeer? Is this the North Pole? Why does Santa come here? Is this his house?Why can't I see his sleigh? Does it land on the roof? Is Santa going away soon? Why? How does he get down our chimney? Is it magic?"
I cherish all of these little intelligent questions, this is always something I will look forward to.
He just kept staring, and staring...with the fork straight up in the air....



Afterwards, we built a gingerbread house...Well, Brady did! Yes, Brady...doesn't it look awesome?! Way better then I could do, Brayden's cute friend Izzie gave this to him and he had a blast "building" Thanks Iz!

Cozy Christmas.

Happy Holidays...
Love the holiday season, I look forward to decorating my home putting up the tree and making everything feel warm and cozy.
Hot Chocolate by the fire anyone?
These chairs are the latest addition to my table. Love this fabric, it's a script pattern with a darling texture. They are super comfortable, adds height and softens the look of all the wood side chairs. Just couldn't resist these little cuties...Aghh, the guilty pleasure of furniture.

Grateful.

I am so overwhelmed by all the blessings that I have. I don't even know where to begin. First off, I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a Mommy, I have such an angel child. Brayden is the light of my life and has taught me so much, I love him more than words can explain. My mom always told me, "When you have your own children, you will understand." And now I do, that deep love that you cannot describe. He melts my heart everyday, and makes me tear up just thinking of how precious he is to me. My Brayden boy...
So thankful for my family, a loving supportive husband that means the world to me. I am grateful for his constant efforts to give our family all of the needs and comforts that we enjoy. He is such a great daddy and a good husband. Love you with all my heart!

Wonderful parents that have taught us so well, they are all tremendous examples and a blessing beyond measure. Thank you for being who you are.


Sometimes I wonder why am I so blessed? I feel that I have so so much. I recognize and acknowledge ALL that I have and I am extremely grateful.
Today I was thinking of Thanksgiving, the big dinner, pies, and family. And my thoughts went back to my wonderful Granny and Pop-Pop. What a wonderful time thanksgiving was. They are always in my thoughts, but this holiday season I am so emotional about how much they gave, how much I love and miss them! I was polishing my Granny's beautiful dining table that I was so lucky to inherit, and it hit me all the dinners that we gathered around this table and shared laughter, traditional family toasts and phenomenal food. My Pop-pop always joking and carving the perfect turkey Granny slaved over, or slapping another giant heap of mashed potatoes on your plate when you think that you were going to BURST! I always remember him saying,"Now, we have a lot of time to eat, so sit down, enjoy and take your time, no one is leaving for a long time." And my Granny would be on the other end of the table saying, "Bob, just let them eat what they want."
The table was always set with such flare, beautiful in everyway...Granny cooked like a gourmet chief, looked like a bombshell while doing it, basting the turkey in the oven yes, in heels :) setting out appetizers making sure everything was perfect. And I do have to laugh because I always will remember the "boxed" wine by the kitchen sink....it is a precious, fun memory to me and reminds me of what grand people they were. They loved to have a good time. I love them with all my heart and miss them, but I know that my Gran will be cooking another wonderful dinner for my pop-pop and that they are so happy together.

Have a Wonderful Thanksgiving Everyone. Be grateful.
