Real Life Happenings:
Christmas is exactly one week away! Can you believe it? Time always seems to fly by. I might not get around to posting a link love next week, so if I don’t I hope you have a Merry Christmas! Take the day to spend it with your loved ones – I know I will be.
Today is my last day at work – then I’m on maternity leave for a while. This baby can come at any time now. I love being pregnant, but I am so ready to get this baby out of me! This time next week I should be cuddling my sweet baby boy. I can’t wait!
Now for the links. I know I always say this, but there really were some great blog posts this past week! Check them out below and show them some Link Love!
