decking the halls

December 19, 2013      10 Comments

I’ve gotten there. The point where I have been able to craft and decorate and get things together.

The halls? Consider them decked.

Our trees are up and trimmed.

 

I took a page from Pinterest and made my first ever yarn wreath with felt flowers.

And made a gift card wreath as a gift for someone special (the clips are all full now, but I didn’t take an updated picture).

I put together little Snowman Soup bags for party favors (click here for free printable)

And I was even able to take pictures of Bentley and Molly by the lights.

Presents are (mostly) wrapped and shopping is (mostly) done. My mom and stepdad are in town and that brings a whole new level of excitement to the holiday, so that is helping me along.

I can’t wait to share the pictures of the amazing gift I was given and also to post about how training fits into all the holiday insanity.

How has your schedule been this December? Have you been fitting in all the things you want/need or do you feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day?

    WOW you have so much done and it all looks beautiful! Our halls are not decked but we do have a tree (that has no lights on it yet). We’ve been trying to get it done this week but my fiancee has been working late everynight and so it will have to wait until the weekend….
    I think once school is out it will feel more like Christmas for me.
    My student made Reindeer Food yesteday and it was adorable…here is the printable 🙂 I hear it goes well w Santa Soup! :p

      Oh, thanks for that link to the printable! I have to save that for next year. We ended up just throwing together reindeer food at the last minute (or little man did and I watched lol!)

      It’s less being creative and more being able to follow pictures LOL! I just really love making stuff though.

    Everything looks great! Your Pinterest projects are so fantastic. I always pin stuff but then never get around to crafting. I came to my parents’ house, which is all decked out, and I’m so much more in the Christmas spirit now! Amazing how much of a difference the decorations make.

      I pin a ton of stuff and then forget about it. However, birthdays and holidays are when I can really get into it!

    Wow! You are so incredibly creative!!! We put up our tree but never got around to decorating it. Oh well! We celebrate at my parents’ house so I just didn’t get to it this year. Hopefully when I have kids I’ll get more into the decorating!

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Tomorrow will be cooler and more productive for sure!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
