My Fall/Winter Holiday To Do List

I have told myself that since I have some time on my hands this year, I am going to do some things for the holidays that I don't always have time to do, or haven't felt I had time to do. I crossed my first thing off already - paint some pumpkins!!

My landlords are the absolute nicest people to us. We will come home and find treats, and this week, we came home to four pumpkins on our porch. They are always so nice to think of us! I decided paint them and do a chevron and striped pattern. I want to do the other two maybe like this...

My next to-do for fall is to give the pumpkin spiced latte from Starbucks a try, not because I like pumpkins or lattes all that much, but because I guess I am just a sheep.

The next on my list is to try a new pumpkin patch with the kids this year. I love the one we've gone to but it is so far away. This place in Grapevine looks so cool and has a real corn maze!!

This is also the year I am going to order some personalized Christmas stockings. I think about it every year too late, and by the time I do it, Etsy orders are either too full or too backed up to get them in time..

We have a very tall ceiling in our living room and last year, a regular sized tree just didn't cut it. I want to go shopping on Black Friday because I heard that's when 10' tall Christmas trees are their cheapest. The one at Walmart I just saw was $250 and I think that's actually not bad. Yikes.

We have the kids for Christmas this year, so I'd actually like to spend one whole day in a Christmas movie marathon in our PJs, with good holiday treats, watching all of the classics (and these aren't even all of them!).

I would actually like to feel pretty and thin enough this year to be in our photo for our Christmas card. And I would also like to feel comfortable enough in my body to not look back at Christmas morning with a look of disgust. Oh my goodness, did I just say that out loud??

I just added the photo below because, well, that's awesome and oh so true.

Well, this is definitely a good list, I think!!! Have a great week!!

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this! I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head. As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee. I can't believe I just said that. It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...

Just a little bathroom project....

Raise your hand if this is what your bathroom looks like after every round of baths at your house????
