Real Life Happenings:
Last week I missed posting for Link Love Friday because I was too busy spending time with my family over the Thanksgiving weekend. I hope you all were able to enjoy some down time and good food with family and friends, too!
Here on the home front, things are starting to get busier. Still working full-time, Christmas shopping, prepping for the new baby’s arrival (about 3 weeks to go!!!), chasing my toddler around, and just making sure the house is clean and dinner is on the table is enough for me right now. Making sure I have things ready just in case baby decides to make an early debut is on top of my list! So if blog posts seem more sparse in the coming weeks you’ll know why. I’m so thankful for my husband who is putting in extra effort to help me out since things are getting a little harder as my belly gets bigger.
Enough of me, Link Love Friday is all about other bloggers and their awesome content. Check out some of my faves from the past week!
