What I'm Reminiscing About

 

Our beautiful Nutcracker Weekend- will never forget it

 

What I'm Loving

The gift I chose for my Favorite Things Party

because that is exactly what it is- one of my favorite things!

What We've Been Up To

We had all of the Halloween Fun!

Mama helped send off one of the best in her industry- a mentor I will never forget

We decorated for Christmas earlier than ever- even before Halloween- eek! (Blaming it on this special Nutcracker year- next year we are going back to normal-whatever that is-ha!)

 

We have been lovin' on this guy!

We loved seeing Caden in The Outsiders

Date Walks Have Continued

as have Saturday Morning Starbucks Dates

 

Nutcracker Excitement Surrounded Us!

and we hosted "Clara's Nutcracker Brunch"

Rehearsals Got Intense but Mimi got to observe a battle rehearsal and loved it!

 

We LOVED seeing Eva in her Veteran's Day Concert- many tears were shed!

We Voted

Diana had a BLAST at her first Homecoming Dance!

 

I sewed by Goddaughter's First Pointe Shoes- Special Moment!

 

 

 There has been plenty of Hallmark!

 

 

We Rolled Clara's Hair for the last few times :(

 

and endured tough tech and dress rehearsals and prevailed ;)

We loved our very special AND very different Thanksgiving this year

 

and enjoyed every moment of our very special Nutcracker

What I'm Dreading

Not going there...living in the present...practicing Blind Faith

What I'm Working On

Generating some new business at work AND buying all of the gifts- can't wait to tell you I have my wrapping done- ahhh!

 

 

 

What I'm Excited About

 

All of the Christmas Magic and Traditions

 

 

 What I'm Watching/Reading

 

LOTS of Hallmark

 

Some new faves this year include....

 

A Holiday Spectacular- based on the Rockettes!

 

and Noel Next Door

a little more edgy than the traditional Hallmark movies

 

and my two books for November were

 

Go On Girl by Hilary Grossman

(Forest River PTA Book #1)

Oh this was so cute- love reading about moms in the same season as me- may go back and read more of the series- we shall see!

 

 

and It Starts With Us (The Sequel to It Ends With Us)

by Colleen Hoover

 

She does it again- thrilling- brilliant writing that keeps you on the edge of your seat with some romance mixed in!

 

 

What I'm Listening To

 

Sirius XM Holly and Holiday Traditions

 

 

What I'm Wearing

 

Workout Gear several times per week

 

Sparkly Tops for the Holidays

 A Long Silk Dress from Banana Republic Factory for Thanksgiving (wish I had a better pic/full body- will make sure I get one soon!)

 RED for the Nutcracker!

 

 What I'm Doing This Weekend

 

Hosting my Favorite Things Party on Friday Night

 

 

and having a night alone with my hubby in Boston- it has been TOO LONG! 

 

What I'm Looking Forward To Next Month

 

A Fresh Start...New Beginning...and getting ready to turn 50 next year! 

 

 

What Else Is New?

 

I think I covered it!  What's new with YOU?
