C H O O S I N G
Every time I choose to share the vulnerable parts of myself with you all (which I’m better at doing over on Instagram for whatever reason) I never ever regret it. I can’t tell you all how much I appreciate all of the love on my post about how hard this season has been for me. It’s always scary but always worth it. Thanks for choosing to spend even a few minutes of your time here and for being so awesome!

I mean, we (Nathan mostly) took down our Christmas decorations and now our house seems to be completely empty so what is there left to tidy? But for real though as desperately as parts of our house needs it there is no new year organization happening over here right now. Insert shoulder shrug emoji here.

Resolving to not make any resolutions over here this year. Though we do need to clean up our eating which is why we are currently doing a Whole30. It got way off track at the end of my pregnancy!

Wellllll I asked for new nightstands for our bedroom for Christmas and it has inspired me to “refresh” (ahem, begin) the decor in our bedroom. We need new lamps (leaning towards something like this) and HAVE YOU SEEN THE SPRING HEARTH AND HAND BEDDING? Holy swoon. I need this duvet cover. NEED.
December’s Top 5 Blog Posts
1. Favorite Postpartum Essentials for Mom and Baby – The #1 post this month was our postpartum essentials post! I kept it as real as possible about what you need those first few weeks after giving birth. It’s all REALLY glamorous stuff. 
2. Friday Five – There’s always one! Yummy treats, our favorite bows, toddler activities and more…that one really covers all the bases.
3. December Currently + Novemeber Blog Review – I’m glad to see you all like these posts because they are some of my favorite to do!
4. December Target Try On – I dipped my toe in the try-on pool last month and you all seemed to enjoy it! I hope to do another this month (and maybe an Old Navy one?) but getting out on my own is somewhere close to impossible right now so no promises.
5. How We Are Prepping for Whole30 – Tis the season for Whole30 posts!
December’s Top 5 Clicked Items
1. Leather Earring Set – These were FAR and away the item you all were most interested in this month and I love it! They were from my bestie/sister gift guide and are so pretty. I actually just order a set this week so I’ll be sure to share them in my Story this weekend.
2. Black Joggers – I’m convinced that everyone needs a pair of black joggers and I love these! They are perfect for everything from errands to sleep! I size up for a looser fit.
3. Vanilla Nut Pods – One of our Whole30 essentials! They are certainly an acquired taste but I was surprised about how quickly my taste for them came back.
4. Sueded Tote – I used (and loved) this bag for a solid 6 months before sharing it with you all because I didn’t have confidence that it would hold up. No way a less than $40 bag (currently only $25) from Old Navy will stand up to everyday use as a laptop bag, right? WRONG. This bag is every. thing.
5. Crossbody Bag – Such a great Amazon find! You all were loving it on one of my gift guides.
December’s Top 5 Purchased Items
1. Rapid Wine Cooler – MANY people were gifted this rapid wine cooler this Christmas and I hope every one of them loved it!!
2. Waffle Knit Henley – This henley was another great Amazon find. Super cute, breastfeeding friendly, and the price can’t be beat! You all agreed.
3. Nursing Sleep Bra – I can not tell you how much I love the fact some of you all get to enjoy this bra as much as I do. Sisterhood.
4. Baby Girl Headband Bows – You guys FREAKED OUT over these bow and with good reason! They might be my favorite Amazon find of the year.
5. Grey Felt Letter Board – Such a great gift as well. Every household needs a letter board!
This was the best month ever for this little blog of mine and I’m so darn grateful! Thank you (as always) for your support of this space. My prayer is that you would always leave encouraged, inspired, or more knowledgeable in some area. Love you all, mean it!
