Christmas Recap

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas weekend!!  Mine was pretty good. Low key for sure but still good!

Today is Boxing day in Canada, which is like Black Friday for Canadians. To celebrate, I'm offering free shipping in my shop today only on orders over $15!  No code needed! Go shop!

Christmas Eve we had no plans so we spent the day tackling our destroyed basement.  We had all of these boxes stacked up from when we moved here that we had just never unpacked.  This is what it looked like before:


Mind you, this was after I pulled the stack of boxes apart. Here is what it looks like now!


There are millions of boxes (on the right) that will be heading to the dump shortly! So nice to have some extra space.

Yesterday, Dustin and I woke up early and had our own little gift exchange. He got me a much needed sewing kit, a bunch of lovely things from Aerie, an electric toothbrush and some other random goodies! After that, we headed up to my mom's place for our annual Christmas get together.  It was an early lunch/dinner spent with my brother, his wife, and my momma.




Christmas is also my bro's birthday so we always celebrate with a cake. This year's cake was an ice cream cake and it had seen better days. My silly mom didn't know she was supposed to keep it in the freezer.

Being at my moms means that I get to rummage through all of my childhood things and old photos.  I found some pretty great pictures which I'll share later but here are a couple of past Christmases (excuse my terrible weird mushroom bangs... what my mother was thinking I have no idea):




(i really actually used to get my hair permed when i was a kid)

Ok enough embarrassing photos of myself. How did you spend Christmas??
