Happy Friday, friends! First, the Dallas Cowboys won last night.  That in itself is a BIG favorite in the Beucler House!  Woohoo!!

Second . . . I was so happy to see several of you at my house yesterday for the Christmas Market Madness Party! If you didn’t make the party, and would still like to shop, here are the links:

I don’t know about y’all, but I feel like I am just living for the month of December over here.  Thanksgiving was such a nice break with family and friends, and it always just kicks off the holiday festivities in the Beucler House in such a fun way.

If you are new to Lunchbox Babies, I go a bit overboard for holidays and birthdays.  Nothing Pinterest worthy over here, but I LOVE to spoil my people, decorate the heck out of my house, and get people into whatever spirit the holiday calls for.  And, if it is your birthday, and we aren’t in a restaurant where all of the waiters are loudly singing to you . . . well, did your birthday even happen?

In thinking about the month of December (WHICH STARTS TOMORROW!!!!!!), I always think about my birthday.  December 23^rd.  I am almost a Christmas baby! I know some December babies aren’t fans of their big day, but I LOVE IT! My dad’s birthday is the 19^th, and as a child he always got a bit gipped with his birthday present under the tree.  He and my mom never wanted me to feel left out during the holiday craziness, and because of that I LOVE my birthday!  Bring on the coffee, the wine, the confetti!

Did y’all go to Olan Mills? We all did, right?

Last December was fun, but a bit more on the somber side.  You know the term “fake it until you make it”? That was me much of last December.  Dealing with losing two babies, dealing with the grief of my two sons having lost their sister, and trying to make everyone HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY! It was a good month, but it was a bit exhausting.  Now, a year later, that grief is gone.  There will always be moments when the “what ifs?” rear their ugly head, and that is okay.  Over time, I have gotten better at moving forward in those moments.

SO . . . this December is going to be different.  And, I am SO SO SO excited!! For my own personal countdown to my birthday, I am going to do a daily post on my Lunchbox Babies Instagram page with something that I LOVE and I want to share with you.  Some will be big things, and some will be super small.  I am working on getting a few deals on these things for you guys, and am excited to see how this plays out.  So, I hope that you follow along on my Lunchbox Babies Instagram page for the month of December.  And, once a week or so, I will put all of those favorite things on the blog as well! I am irrationally excited about my post tomorrow.  It is VERY small, VERY inexpensive, and VERY important. Ha! Get ready to ride my crazy train, people!

Happy December everyone! XO
