On the breakfast plate this morning::::
I've gotten off to a late start this morning since I was laying in bed Christmas shopping much of the morning, so I'm finally getting around to my luke warm coffee and thinking about some cinnamon raisin toast and grapefruit.


As I look outside my window:::
A current look out my front door.

    


Right now I am::::
Sitting at the kitchen counter, sipping lukewarm coffee and trying to gather myself enough to go on a quick run on the treadmill.             


As I look around the house::::
The kids are on a snow day today, so it's complete chaos. There are unfolded blankets all over the living rooms, and toys out everywhere. Lots of noise and love though. We have the Christmas trees on and the house definitely looks like Christmas.
    

On today's to do list::::
Laundry....We've had a stomach bug sweep through the house last week, so we are trying to was      
Cleaning....I've definitely got some picking up to do through the house and some sweeping in the kitchen and vacuuming the rest of the house.

I don't envy your week of dance rehearsals! My daughters dance academy did their annual Nutcracker performance last weekend. She wasn't part of it this year as I didn't think I could juggle all the rehearsals with a newborn, but I am still glad the chaos is over.

I hope your children had the chance to go sledding and that you all enjoyed your snow day!

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...
