Blogmas day 15: Our weekend in review with pictures

Happy Monday!! Christmas is only 10 days away!! Mondo and I plan on finishing up our shopping tonight, then it's time to wrap, wrap, WRAP!!

Here were the advent activities for the weekend

Friday: Bake goodies

Scripture: Luke 1:46-56

Saturday: Visit Santa!!

Scripture: Luke 2:1-5

Sunday: Decorate Tree

Scripture: Luke 2: 6-7

Monday: Deliver Christmas drink to Aunty Amy

Scripture: Luke 2:8-12

 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Friday Night we made gluten free cookies, we still have to decorate them. They didn't turn out so great, very dry and I think it's because I had to add coconut flour to roll them out. So the hunt is still on for a yummy gluten free cookie recipe. That was pretty much it for that day.

Saturday after naps we decided to head downtown and see SANTA!! We get there to see a super long line, after 20 min of waiting we moved 5 feet. This wasn't going to work. So we opted to head to dinner instead, heart crushed!!

After dinner we met with my mom and gramma to ride a horse drawn carriage through the park to look at lights they set up.

After that we went back to see Santa, the line wasn't as long so I took Max to the bathroom to get changed (I put her in warm clothes for the park). Mondo stood in line. Mackenzie was ok with talking to Santa and even excited but, when we put her in his lap for a picture, that was a big H-E double hockey sticks NO!!

After dinner we went to Old Navy to do some shopping and I scored a pair of maternity shorts for 50 cents!!! More on that in a later blog post. Yes, I think they are worthy of their own blog post!!

Sunday we went to church, Costco for lunch, home to watch the Chargers lose (come on chargers get your act together). After dinner we decorated the Christmas tree, 1/2 way through I started having Braxton Hicks contractions so we stopped. No pics of the tree since it's not done. 

And that was our weekend. I hope you had a great weekend!

Don't forget to enter the drawing for a free pair of leggings. Here is the link again. I will announce the winner on Christmas Eve, drawing ends next week!!

Until tomorrow,

Blogmas day 1: Lularoe giveaway!!

Blogmas day 1!

Last time I did blogmas Mackenzie and I also gave daddy a gift each day. This year I just have a fun activity planned for me and my tot to do. Today's advent was Dance to Christmas music! I know it's nothing out of the ordinary but taking the time to just dance with my toddler will totally make her day! I plan on doing freeze dancing with her which in enforces listening skills!

For the first day of this blogmas my mom and I spent some time at Thanksgiving doing a photo shoot featuring our Lularoe clothing. At the end of this post there will be information on a giveaway where you can enter to win your own pair of Lularoe leggings!!

My mom is showing off the "Julia". We choose to show how this dress could go from fancy to casual! I love both ways it's styled!!

Here is the maxi, probably one of their most known pieces. I love all the fun prints they have. In fact that is a great reason to host a pop-up boutique to see all of the fun prints!!

This skirt is the "Cassie" a great, comfortable pencil skirt!

This is probably my most favorite top right now. You can't really see the print in the picture but it has a subtle silver marks on it. I chose to pair it over a dress but it's great with leggings or skinny jeans! This top is called the "Irma". 

I love the fun print of this shirt!! The "Randy" is such a closet staple! I love how long it is to fit over my big belly!!

Probably my most favorite items from Lularoe is the leggings. I have washed mine so many times and yet they are still just as soft!

Another outfit I paired with their leggings. The camo leggings are a fave! Camo is also considered a neutral and can go with anything!!

Another pair of their leggings. Pair with a chunky sweater, scarf and boots you will be so comfortable and stylish for the whole day!

Lularoe does have a website here, but the way to see their stuff is to host a pop up boutique. All of their items are one of a kind and the prints don't come in multiple sizes. Also, the sizes run big, the two tops I am wearing are mediums. Makes you feel good!! The leggings come in 2 sizes, one size or plus size.  The black and white ones are plus size so I can pull them over my expanded belly. The other 2 featured are one size, they are kinda like the sisterhood of traveling pants, they fit everyone. Don't take my word for it try them!!! The prices are completely reasonable and for laundering it's just wash cold, hang dry. I can do that!!

If you live in the Spokane area I recommend getting in touch with Kathy! She is who I hosted my pop up boutique with and was also super kind to give me a pair of leggings to giveaway!! If you are not in the Spokane area go like her fb page anyways just to show her some mommaministry love!!

Okay Rafflecopter giveaway time!!

Like I said I am giving away a pair of Lularoe leggings given to me by Kathy!!
