{Happy Monday}


My daughter is arriving home today after a few days spent with her Nanny on the farm. I've missed her so much but have enjoyed her bedtime phone calls telling us all how much she has missed us and filling us in on her days. It's amazing how quickly they grow.

I have caught up on a few things I've been wanting to do for eons, like painting my little cupboard (I have a few more coats to do and then I will share it sitting in our entryway with all of our little treasures perfectly arranged). We even started our Christmas shopping on Saturday while we were child-free from which we got many mixed reactions from our families. "But it's only August!" and "what, you're only just starting now?". Tsk tsk.
