Oops, I did it again.

Holidays

8 Nov

Brittney spears is playing on the loop of my mind because I have early decorated most of the house for Christmas again this year!

Oops; but, not really!

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always decorated for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving, until 2020.

As The Salesman turned on the gas fireplace today, he asked me if I was going to put up a white tree or a real tree this year.

I hadn’t decided because I enjoy a fresh tree; but, the convenience of an artificial one is all too nice.

I remember when one of our children incredulously asked me if I put out all the Christmas decorations by myself.  Yes, I usually did and have always enjoyed decorating for every holiday.

Back to this afternoon – the Salesman mentioned a tree I liked at Cracker Barrel – and part of me wanted to grab my own Clark Griswold and go tie that flocked tree on the top of my car; but. I was already in my Cuddle Duds. Believe-you-me, I am penciling in Cracker Barrel on my weekly menu plan though.

My mama had a flocked tree when we were growing up and this Cracker Barrel tree reminded me of my childhood.

He told me that he liked the smaller trees I’d already put out around the house.  I had decorated the entryway last month because of the holiday Launch with Young Living and then it expanded this weekend to small trees in the kitchen, dining room, well, almost every room in the house.  He said he felt more in the Christmas Spirit already this year.

Yes, this was coming from the man who does all of his holiday shopping on December 24th.

What was that movie where the villains heart grew?!?

When do you decorate for Christmas?

I have never seen anything like what I saw when I I have never seen anything like what I saw when I walked in Walmart this last week. 

Right there where they normally have fresh berries and Grainger county tomatoes and such, was a Valentine’s Day floral display the size of an above ground swimming pool. 

And I wanted to dive in the deep end. 

There were blooms as far as my eye could see and there was no way possible to get every one in the picture, though I tried. 

I wish you lived in my town and we’d go enjoy them together. 

It’s going to be a beautiful Valentine’s Day! 

Scroll right to see the biggest display ever and a few colorful, and beautiful, bouquets.

“Sometimes you have church in buildings that don “Sometimes you have church in buildings that don’t have steeples” is how I’d describe my visit to the hair wizard this week. 

💗

God is so good to intertwine cousins, curls, and church. 

💗

Amen and amen.

I’m carrying forward the childhood joy of openin I’m carrying forward the childhood joy of opening my Raggedy Ann lunch box to find mama had cut my sandwich out with heart shaped cookie cutters.

♥️

It’s the little things.

♥️

I got my mama’s heart shaped cookie cutters out & am serving love & beauty with heart shaped, & heart healthy, Trim Healthy Mama Blender Freezer Waffles. Shout out to the organic Aldi raspberries that appear to be heart shaped as well!

The waffles are Salesman approved. ♥️

I make an entire batch of the waffles & keep them in a refrigerator box so he can grab them just like a L’eggo My Eggo & enjoy the convenience of healthy, & now heart-shaped, waffles.

You can see the Salesman’s legs in the background of one of the pictures of me trying to capture the perfect picture of the heart shaped waffles.  I stepped out on the back porch, which is right outside his office, and he came out to see what I was doing.  And let me tell you, he had a good laugh seeing me trying to get the picture perfect shot of my plate of love!  After he ribbed me a bit, I told him that I really enjoyed taking pictures, & he then shared a nugget, or two, about the photography industry.

This is us. ♥️

This is me carrying on a tradition my mama started of making sweet memories for holidays & special occasions. It did not cost any money to use my childhood cookie cutters, it was just a sweet, and delicious, investment of time.

The most beautiful memories are tied with heart strings & not purse strings. ♥️
