13 {secrets}

well, secrets
{for lack of a better term right now}

I thought I'd go with what's on my mind tonight
and came up with my predictable number 13
13 things inspired by my number in the picture
{so creative tonight I tell you}

yes...I will show you one decor item in my home this year
I haven't taken any photos of anything else yet



and the only thing on my mind this evening is a bunch of nonsense randomness

1. cold weather stinks in my book
every.single.day
I can appreciate it only to wear boots
that's.it
well and the snow does look really pretty
that's.it.number.2

2. I definitely failed at mom-of-the-year tonight
frustrations with attitudes
ugh :(
then all three of us ended up with attitudes
{chuckle}
3. but we did have a great dinner together
ding, ding, ding

4. I'm in love with a few inspiring pieces
found here...


5. I think I may go upstairs and give a few forehead kisses to two sweet girls
when I'm done
yes...these are guilty feelings talking

6. I'm excited about a few things happening this month for me

7. these stockings are my favorite
I'd take a picture of ours hanging
but I haven't gotten that far
but you may find them {here}
and that of course is Andrea's pretty picture and idea of hers


8. tonight I think I may start some wrapping
I feel a movie to go right along with wrapping gifts will be quite nice
comedy v action
haven't quite decided yet
but I better get going before the night slips away
I may even be accompanied by topsy's cinnamon popcorn

9. starfish in the winter = smile
and I found two today in our garage
for some reason
random, yes I know

10. I slept on my sofa last night freezing cold because I was too tired to walk upstairs
really, that's pretty ridiculous, huh?
especially since our downstairs is freezing during the winter

11. and then I woke up this morning to my most annoying alarm on my phone
the rooster alarm
yes I choose this on purpose
and each morning I regret it
especially when it is in "increasing volume"
but it gets me up sure enough

12. my girls do not like my alarm either
every once in awhile I do "bunk together" nights with them
and I left my phone upstairs one morning
as I was up before my alarm
and Madison finally shouts downstairs

"mom turn the bird OFF your phone!"

I take it she didn't like it much either

13. I would pay big bucks for someone to do dishes and unload the dishwasher
not really a fan
I used to enjoy cleaning for some crazed reason
now I just like the results of cleaning

fair enough, right?

Those stockings are so adorable. Love #5, I also often feel bad after a long bad day and then I see them asleep looking so sweet and cuddly! Hope you are all ready for Christmas!
