Happy Monday and Merry Christmas Eve to all those who celebrate. Celebrating Marvelous in My Monday thanks to Katie! I’m off working early this morning but wanted to leave with a post filled with link love to enjoy on what is hopefully your day off before Christmas.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here…
My Mom’s beautiful tree! I told her she’s going to have to come decorate for me when I have a house of my own.
Fun gifts from Almond Breeze and Allie! Plus lots of wrapping took place this weekend. I am the worlds worst wrapper by the way. I’m just no good but who looks at the wrapping anyway?! My family can however always tell which presents I wrapped and which ones my sister has!
Even Sophie’s been in the holiday spirit despite a bad hair day
I sill managed to get a regular grocery trip in this week. I’m still going to need food for the week after all.
Here’s what I got: apples, kiwis, ground turkey, zucchini, brown rice tortillas, bell pepper, bananas, carrots, unsweetened vanilla almond breeze, edamame, goat cheese, kind bars, blueberries, eggs, and black beans.
and here’s a little wrap up from last week….
