Tuesday Tidbits – 309

Happy Tuesday before Thanksgiving my friends! My family and I will be making our way to Portland to spend Turkey Day with all of Tommy’s family later today. I’ll be taking the rest of the week off from blogging to be present with all of my in-laws. Hope you all have a fabulous Thanksgiving.

  • No shame in our game – we put up our Christmas tree last night. Has anyone else done the same? Stay tuned for some photos.
  • The question of questions – Pumpkin Pie or Pecan Pie?

Happy Friendsgiving!

Happy Hump Day ya’ll!

I don’t know about you, but I’m struggling a little today. Luke woke up at 1:00am (very unusual for him) and wouldn’t go back down until 2:30am. Then he was up for the day at 5:30am. Lots of coffee my friends, lots of coffee today.

This past Saturday my family and I did something that I’ve always wanted to do, but haven’t because Christmas is MY HOLIDAY and I always go big or go home for the holidays (annual big party, real Christmas tree, presents galore, baking, Secret Santas, you name it), but this year we hosted a Friendsgiving gathering.

Tuesday Tidbits – 307

Happy cold and rainy Tuesday from DC! If you had Veteran’s Day off yesterday, I hope you enjoyed it. Let’s dive into this week’s Tidbits shall we?!

  • Getting excited for our Friendsgiving gathering this Saturday! I put in an order for some delicious pies at Dog Tag Bakery this past weekend. 🙂
  • Love this photo I snapped yesterday at the Old Town Alex waterfront.
  • I watched Holiday in the Wild yesterday and loved it. Of course, the holiday tilt helped, but I loved the message of the film too. And, hello, it’s also a RomCom.
  • Anyone else started fine-tuning their Christmas shopping list of gifts to buy for friends and family?
  • I am contemplating buying this tote for work travel and Christmas travel to Sicily. While I’ve read a lot of great reviews, a friend had a negative review of the bag – particularly the strap. If anyone else has any feedback, good or bad, I would really appreciate it!

Things That Make Me Happy – 32

Happy “Things That Make Me Happy” Thursday! I feel like this monthly series always sneaks up on me, but I’m so glad that it does. I love seeing and remembering all the great things that are happening around me. Let’s dive right into it!

Rehoboth Beach Recap

Well, we saw and we conquered Rehoboth Beach a couple of weekends ago over Columbus Day weekend! Since Rehoboth is pretty close to D.C. – it’s on the Delaware shore, about a 2.5 hour drive from D.C. – it’s a no-brainer for a road trip with or without kids. It has always been on my travel bucket list, so it felt good to check this guy off!
