Insta-Thursday: A Florida Christmas :)

 We had such a great Christmas! It's so nice to be here in Florida, close to family. :) My brother Andrew was able to come down from Texas, too, which was awesome! He got me a mustard yellow Cambridge Satchel, which has barely left my side since Christmas day. :)

It was also great having my aunt, uncle, and baby cousin here from Orlando! They are so fun, and having a little baby around on Christmas was really sweet. :)

My Grammy and Grandpa also came down from Pensacola, and it was great spending time with them, too! I love the picture of me and Grammy above, and I got a great picture of Grandpa and Andrew, but I forgot to Instagram it!

I hope everyone had as wonderful of a Christmas as I did. :) I feel so blessed!

Always,
Amanda

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Well, I'm off to run around like a crazy woman this Christmas season! :) We'll be jumping from place to place to place this year, so I'm going to take a blog-break until after the holidays.

I hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas!

Always,
Amanda (and Josh!)

Insta-Thursday: It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

 This week has been filled with: Christmas decorating, an interview, putting up Christmas lights, a madrigal dinner, sparkly nail polish, racquetball at the gym, running errands at places with HUGE fake roses, and hanging out with one of my favorite people by a ginormous wreath! :)

I'd say that it has been a very good week!

My Etsy Christmas Wish List :)

Above are the awesome things I've been pining for on etsy lately. :) They are all so neat! My favorite, favorite thing is the Lea Stein cat pin. I've been wanting one for years! I would be so excited to get any of these awesome things this year, though!

You can find my etsy wish list and the links HERE. :)

Is there anything you've had on your etsy wish list for a while?

Always,
Amanda

Insta-Thursday #27

This week was mostly filled with Christmas stuff! We spent the weekend at my in-laws doing our little Christmas, and then I spent Christmas day making chocolate pretzels, putting away decorations, and eating chili. :)

There was also: antique shop visiting, crown wearing, BSC book reading, board game playing, nail painting, ukulele jamming, and cat shoe wearing. I'd say that adds up to a pretty good week!

Always,
Amanda

PS: Happy 4 year wedding anniversary to my hubby Josh! It has also been 13 years since he first asked me out. :) Awwwww!

Merry Christmas!!!!

Merry Christmas, everyone! I'm spending the day reading books and chilling out- and thinking about our fun pre-Christmas at my in-laws. :) There were plenty of exciting gifts, including hair chalk (yay!), kitty shoes, and a blue ukulele! And of course, my hubby had to hang by the fire with Ace the cat. :)

I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas! Thank you for reading my little blog, and here's to another great year!

Always,
Amanda
