Thanksgiving break has come to an end, and now we’re back into the swing of our daily routine and bracing ourselves for the hustle and bustle of the busy holiday season! Once our Thanksgiving meal was good and digested, I climbed up into our attic and brought down all of our holiday decorations to celebrate the Christmas season.

During this season of our lives, it’s really hard for us to be able to slow down. My hands are full with two little girls that are bouncing with energy, and their blooming curiosity has us all running in different directions. They’re definitely keeping me on my toes, that’s for sure! When my oldest daughter started her first year of school earlier this season, I knew she was going to be experiencing new things, but she would unfortunately not be immune to the germs passed back and forth in the classroom all day long.

As we’re winding up the final months of 2019, I can’t help but think about how we’re in the home stretch of wrapping up an entire decade. So much personal growth has happened in the last 10 years, including marrying my soulmate, starting a family and building our home. As I’m making preparations to celebrate the upcoming holidays, I’ve been feeling pretty sentimental about all of the good memories that I’ll be sharing with my family when they gather around my table for Thanksgiving this year.
