• Christmas Stockings for the Girls

    Christmas is so different when you have kids. Even though the girls are only 2 and 1, it’s so fun to share with the little things like baking cookies (Olivia helps and Meghan watches) and movies-yes I have a complete list already. We have talked a lot about how we are going to approach Christmas with the girls. How many presents should we get them? Do we give them practical gifts or fun gifts? Do…

Most of it. Well, except for one song, in particular. Jingle Bell Rock. I hate this song. This is the story of why. So we time travel back to December 2016.
