I'm Brittany. I'm lucky enough to get to stay home and chase my little ones all day! And I wouldn't have it anyother way. I'm happily married to my wonderful husband Steven, we've been married for 7 years and are looking forward to the next 50 together. I'm also a snack carrying, story reading, booboo kisser for two of the most amazing kids ever!! Dublin is 6, and the worlds best big brother! He is the sweetest little boy with the biggest heart. And then there is baby Tessa, our little lovebug. She is 4 years old and our little adorable princess.

So far Dublin likes the elf on the shelf (a.k.a. Steve) and it has helped to end some fights between the kids but Tessa is not so phased by him. She just really wants to carry him around (a big no no!!) and doesn't understand that her Christmas presents are at risk when she misbehaves. Sigh...maybe next year.
We've got so much going on this month! Every day/night we find our elf, open a new Christmas book to read, read a spiritual Christmas story and do something off our advent calendar. Whoa! It is so much to do but it is a lot of fun. Anyways tonight we wrote our letters to Santa. I let each of them "write" their own letter. Dublin told us we weren't aloud to know what he wants this year, only Santa can know ha ha. While he was "writing" his letter he was whispering what he was writing, and apparently he wants a snow globe and a T-Rex. Good to know.
Then we met our elf. We read the story and I went over the rules a few times while they played with the elf. Finally it was time to name him. I knew exactly what they would name him, so all night I tried steering them away from it. No such luck we ended up with Steve the Elf.
I'm excited to see how the kids react to Steve's shenanigans this month :)
We had our very own Thanksgiving as a family together this year. Even though we were sad that we didn't get to spend it with family we were happy to have family time alone. Plus the food turned out amazing! And that's kinda the best part about Thanksgiving :) Silly kids getting ready to eat.
