The Sea, the Snow, and the Soreness.

As I type out this blog post, I’m sitting on the comfort of my couch, with a heating pad attached to the side of my discomforting body. Maybe it’s a pulled muscle or maybe a pinched nerve, either way my body is jacked up; possibly from shoveling the massive amount of snow in my driveway. And you would think that a girl who practically delivered a baby naturally would be like, “I am woman, hear me roar”, but not today. My roar has been downgraded to a soft meow and here I sit, pouting and whining. 

With a massive amount of snowfall and snow shoveling, comes a massive amount of snow playing.
We do snow castles around these parts. That’s how we roll.

Can I tell you something funny that my babe said the other day? She’s a funny girl; always has us in stitches.

Krysta: “Mom, I want a hermit crab so I can dress her up in different types of seashells.”
She then went into full detail about how she will scour the beach for the perfect shell home for her crab. If the shell covers her eyes, she’ll set it aside, and likewise, if it only covers her butt… you know that won’t do, so she’ll toss that aside as well. Like her mama, she’s a beach babe through and through.

Which brings me to our Sea Tree.
Now, it’s not completely finished, but it’s done enough to display. My Christmas spirit is a little funky this year, so I’ve added bright, fun and of course, funky colors throughout the house. I’m digging it.  

Without further ado… the Sea Tree:

I adore the sparkle of Christmas. It is my main mission when decorating for the holidays, to make our home as sparkly and magical as possible. Because after all, this is the most magical time of year.

 

 Disclosure: No babies were harmed during the making of this photo. Ron was right below the windowsill.

 

Oh, and remember when I went on my overly excited Christmas giddiness rant about wanting a billboard sign above my house? Well, the hubs made one for me… in photoshop, that is!

With that said, please excuse me; I’m off to wrap 3,925 Christmas gifts for everyone.

I hope your days have been merry and bright!
