I know. You're like "derp derp I wanted to shop small and buy handmade this year, but now it's too late!" Have no fear: I still have some ready to ship rosettes in shop. These little ladies are ready to go the minute you click purchase...because I love you xo

I always wanted one of those department store Christmas trees that look so perfect and festive. So, I bought my kids their own little tree and relegated all non-approved ornaments to that conifer. Now I've got the most glittery, glitzy tree around. Such a good mom, I know 😂 If you want a little sparkle if your own, glitter hoops are now in the shop as an add on item. Limited quantities, so...

Let's talk past, present, future this chilly Monday. Past: Check my last post for details about my anxiety journal. Now until the new year, my book is 50% off!

Future: Details about the glitter hoops coming your way tomorrow. Bling blang blung.

This time of year can be so stressful if we let it, right? A few years ago, I vowed to take charge of my mental health and learn to control my anxiety. And now I'm sharing what Ive learned with you. This is seriously hours and hours of therapy, advice, and research packaged nicely into bite sized daily chunks. This Advent season (and 2016!!), resolve to take care of your own stress, anxiety, and panic. I don't want you to suffer any longer than you already have. Now until the new year, my book is 50% off! That's 30 days worth of good, calming stuff all for $10. No code needed. Tag a friend who might enjoy!

I don't mean to toot my own horn, but 🎉🎉. I am one big, bad pie maker. It's one of my skills. What can I say?

I was asked today to share some pics of a necklace on an actual human, and I thought, "hey! I'm human."

Sending these springy babies off during this crazy blizzard that just dumped upon us.

I might not be doing #5faves anymore(check out @bigwhitefarmhouse for that), but here are some things I'm loving this week: On Guard for the yucks around here, my @madrebeads, The Royal We on my #kindlepaperwhite, and the most awesome embroidery needle ring from @esmesilverblueberry 😘😘😘

Classic #Costco picture. How badly do you want one of these. I want one like this badly: ✋🏻.....✋🏻
