I have been getting my boys LEGO advent calendars for the past few years and they absolutely love them! One boy gets even numbers, and the other gets odd — they take turns counting down the days until Santa arrives. 🎅🏼🎄

I whipped up this festive fruit display for a ‘favorite things’ party with the ladies tonight! It’s definitely more effort, but worth it for the visual impact! (And yes, I do have Christmas trees up already!)🌲🫐🍓🍍

Thats a wrap on fall ball! After a two day tournament, the Tridents secured second place in the silver bracket. I love watching G and his buddies on the field! Now I need to find a way to occupy my weekends until the spring season! 😆

Today is G’s bulldog of the day oral presentation! Why does he look 16?! 🩵

I may or may not have sent him to school dressed for his presentation yesterday — because even moms mess up sometimes. 🙃

Today, I woke with a strong sense of optimism and gratitude — blasting the song ‘God Bless the USA’, I cried tears of joy. America has spoken and we want change. Positive and lasting change. 🇺🇸

While Trump is not a perfect man — he continues to fight tirelessly for the betterment our country and I believe he has shown amazing fortitude and resilience in the face of personal attacks and assassination attempts. I am energized by the prospect of what Trump and his leadership team can do to better the lives of ALL Americans. 🇺🇸

While the response to voicing my position on the election yesterday was widely positive, generating good conversations with many of you, some people chose to unfollow me. I fully expected that would happen, regardless of how tactful I worded my statement. Those few lost followers are fine by me, but it does make me disappointed that because we differ in our political views, people chose to write me off. It speaks to how divided America has become.

I believe our country will soon begin to heal and we become safer, healthier and more prosperous, together. God bless America! 🇺🇸
