Hi.

Welcome to my blog where I share the gems I've learned along the way. Sharing is caring, my friends... and I didn't go through all these struggles for nothin', y'all!  I hope to offer you hope, encouragement, and a laugh or two along the way!

Christmas for two boys  - sans elf on a shelf

I haven't decided if I'm in or not with the elf on a shelf business... looks like a big commitment.  However, planning Christmas for two little boys was way fun.  As we are in limbo, we were very thankful for Mama Jan (Parker's mom) for allowing us to claim her home as our own for Christmas. She was out of town spending Christmas with the Nevada Barnetts, Parker's older brother Paras, his wife Laura and daughter Ashlee.  Her home always feels like home and so it was the perfect place to have Knox's first Christmas and watch these two munchkins open their presents.
