Weekend Memo

Happy Sunday! This weekend has been full of celebrations. Yesterday we hosted a holiday brunch with friends and today we are celebrating my son's 6th birthday. This month seems to be flying by already and I'm trying to slow down a bit and enjoy this time of year. We are looking forward to traveling for Christmas and I'm getting more and more excited about Christmas morning with the kiddos. Every Christmas, either before or after, the hubby and I usually do a day in Savannah and this year I'm so excited to have a special day with him. It seems like we still haven't completely caught since he arrived from Morocco.Weekend MemoGoop Holiday Survival Guide . . .a list of holiday survival tips from their favorite creatives.#HavartiHolidays Giveaway with Arla Dofino . . . two more days to enter the giveaway.
