As we cruise through December, I won’t even bother complaining how fast it’s going. I am loving this month so, so much! It’s super fun to do holiday things with Max at this age and I can’t get over his excitement. Today we are going to breakfast with santa and I can’t wait.

Have you guys been following along with my 12 days of Christmas vlogs and giveaways?! I’m just putting it all out there and it feels crazy but it’s also fun. I have some amazzzzing giveaways coming up this week, so be sure to pop in once a day! Even if I’m showing you the most boring day in a life video ever.

In case you missed it and are into this sort of thing: Max’s 2 year update!

P.S. if you still have some shopping to do, my gift guides are HERE! We have one for under $25, for her, for him, for toddler/baby, for my favorite cookbooks and for beauty lovers. xo
