Merry Christmas from my family to yours! I hope that you are reading thing in a place of peace, able to enjoy the rest of the week a little bit, and remember that Jesus is the reason for the season. While this year has been frustrating on many different levels, I continue to feel overwhelmingly blessed when I stop to look around. Slowing down and spending time with my people is probably just what I needed.
7 MONTHS OF TRIGG BRADLEY!
Just a little photo dump from February 2020!
It's still crazy to think back to what normal life used to be like and I pray that we are getting closer to getting back to that. Back to my kids not feeling anxious being around their own family members, back to when it was normal to SEE peoples' faces, and when we all didn't second guess every decision we made!
If you have missed my last couple of flashback posts, I am attempting to get my blog caught up from taking a lot of the year off. I use this a my kids baby books so I am trying to keep things in order for that reason. It is fun to look back at these pictures too and see just how much my kids have grown in 10 months.
I am excited to share some of my favorite gift finds from last year and this year in case you are still looking for anything! I got hooked on The Home Edit on Netflix at some point during our quarantine which led me to organizing just about every nook and cranny of our house. My biggest successes of all of this were our pantry and our kids' toys! Their toys were in about 18 different locations in our house, none of the same toy were located together so I felt like they dumped them and then never played with them. Insert Home Edit and they are now sorted into tubs and my kids are only allowed to get two tubs out at a time. You're asking what this has to do with Friday Favorites? Well, it has really solidified which toys my kids play with and really like because the same tubs are out routinely.
FLASHBACK: JANUARY 2020
If I could go back to January 2020 and give myself a little heads up for what was to come, I'm not even sure what I would say to be honest. Travel? Stock up on toilet paper? Hang out with everyone possible?
December was a REALLY rough month for us so we were ready for 2020 to bring us some good health and less exciting days! And for the most part, January was great! I made a huge leap of faith and resigned from my dream job to be home with my kids. While teaching and serving children is what I feel called to do, a much bigger part of me felt (and still feels) pulled home with my kids. I was feeling spread really thin and was hating the feeling of not being able to give my best to any title I held.
7 ELF SHENANIGAN IDEAS
While it can be hard to remember to move the little dude, the look on my kids' faces when they find the little fella each morning makes it 100% worth it! I have actually planned out ideas and put them in my calendar for each night. That may seem way Type A and over the top, but it has allowed me to get anything that I need bought so that I have it on hand.
HI!! IT'S ME--KYLIE!
TRIP TO LONDON
Because I really don't have any interest in traveling the world, I figured this was a trip of a lifetime and texted Gavin asking if I could go and booked tickets hours later. I'm a planner so I must have been feeling really adventurous that day!
