updated on January 20, 2021January 2, 2021Leave a Comment on Christmas Recap Part 2: Christmas Eve

Hello! Thanks so much for joining us for part two of our Christmas recap.  Christmas Eve was a such a wonderful time.  If you’ve followed the blog for a while, you know that we usually have a HUGE gathering with family on Christmas Eve.  There are about 35 people at any given time and that’s …

  • I so love our church family! Our Honeybee received birthday treats from church friends who have become family.

Iโ€™ve seen these beautiful setups throughout the streets of my city for a while now and I always think how adorable they are. With the pandemic, I wanted my loved ones to experience all the hype of their birthday without the danger of the crowds. SO...I contacted our local @cardmyyard franchise. They were so easy to work with and so very friendly. They not only did a fantastic job under cover of night, but they did it twice. Yesterday was my husbandโ€™s birthday! For some reason I couldnโ€™t post on IG yesterday so Iโ€™ll make sure to follow up with his shout out later as I still want him to have his shine too. If you are in the 540, 571, or 703 area code and want the local family we used, just send me a DM! I highly recommend! ๐Ÿฎ. ๐—ญ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐—ญ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—บ. Have a family and friends birthday party via Zoom. I hosted one for my husband yesterday and it was great especially for friends he hasnโ€™t seen since the pandemic and some since high school!!! He was as so happy to see them. Iโ€™m having a mini one with my mom so she can see her oldest granddaughter online. She hasnโ€™t seen her in person in a year so you know sheโ€™s ready! Free account gives you 30 minutes and thatโ€™s really all you need for singing happy birthday and opening gifts with cake. ๐Ÿฏ. ๐—–๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฏ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜†๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด! One thing about this pandemic is the convenience of no contact is everywhere. Take advantage. Arrange curbside pickup for the balloons๐ŸŽˆ, cake ๐ŸŽ‚, flowers ๐Ÿ’, and ๐ŸŽ. Itโ€™s safe and contactless! Shoot, you can ever do a birthday meal! ๐Ÿฐ. ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ! My dad and siblings really wanted to be able to say happy birthday on zoom to my husband yesterday but schedules are hard sometimes. No worries! My brother recorded a really nice birthday greeting for S. and we were able to play it for him...safely with no contact. Love it!

One task, one second, one minute, one hour, one day. Check off that task list one item at a time. Today, donโ€™t focus on the big picture.

I really love lists and I like to check or cross off things as they are done. Itโ€™s satisfying to me to see a list that has been completely crossed through.
