Watching | Everybody Loves Raymond

(thank you Netflix)

It is almost 1 in the morning where I'm at, and I should be sleeping

but I'm really trying to stick to my blogging schedule,

so here I am. 

Eyes half open, so I hope this all makes sense!

Dedication... Right?!

Reading | the Hunger Games, Mocking Jay

Still. 

Really... I'm still reading it. 

I feel as though I'm safe for another week or two since 

I refuse to see a movie right when it comes out. 

One- I hate crowds.

Two- I hate crowds.

*NO SPOILERS PLEASE & THANK YOU*

Listening To | Taylor Swift "1989"
I'm seriously obsessed. 

And I have to confess, sometimes I sneak the Christmas station

for a song or two when I'm in the car.

I can't help it... I'm trying to hold off until Friday 

BUT it just puts me in such a good mood! 

Valid reason to cheat, right?

Working On | Sticking to a blogging schedule.

Really... Why is it so hard?!

Oh I know...

because I have an (almost) two year old and do nothing

but play with

truckstrainscarsblocks

all day, every day.

Which leaves me with little to no time to do my "chores"

so I do those when my husband gets home.

Then by time I get my little man to bed I'm 

pretty much as useful as a walking zombie! 

Feeling | SO EXCITED!!

Okay, yes I love Thanksgiving

BUT I FREAKING LOVE THE CHRISTMAS SEASON!!

In my family it's always been tradition to 

NOT DO ANYTHING CHRISTMAS RELATED

until AFTER THANKSGIVING.

Seriously- I was brainwashed.

However

the older I get the harder it gets, and now especially with my little man

it's near impossible.

BUT I try my hardest. 

Michael Buble is waiting to keep me company and 

I've yet to stop at Starbucks to get a red cup...

(white chocolate peppermint mocha thank you!) 

I'm also itching to get my tree and decorations up!

BUT I can (hopefully) wait just four more days, 

until after I have a belly full of Mom's amazing Thanksgiving dinner,

and I've shopped until I can't take the crowds anymore (I really do hate them).

Planning | Planning my little man's 2nd birthday.

Still.

I know he's only going to be two and under no circumstance

will he remember his 2nd birthday party,

but that doesn't mean that as a Mama 

I don't want it to be anything but perfect!

No spoilers now- but I can't want to share it with you all! 

Loving | The feeling this time of year brings.

Everyone is a little more cheerful, and I absolutely love it! 

My Favorite Photo | Last weekend we took our 2014 family photos,

and I'm beyond obsessed with them.

I'm not sharing too many just yet, 

because we are using them for our Christmas cards,

and I'm weird, and want them to be a surprise,

but here is one we are not using.

Definitely an absolute favorite right now!
