in case you need any, here are a couple things I've done this week!
lil chocolate syrup in a glass in a bathroom. Kids thought this was hilarious!
Car wash!
Ride to car line and see their school! Achy had to circle "yes" bc they were insistent on this!
A few different gifts that I've found as I surfed around! Perhaps that spark your interest for someone on your list!
ONE - this planter would be fabulous on a porch coffee table!
TWO - Tocca makes the best perfume and all of these are good!
THREE - gotta love a cutie jellycat. All of the girls ages 9-18 love these!
FOUR - can't go wrong with a volcano diffuser!
FIVE - the bubble necklace! Such a nice gift.
Another Thanksgiving weekend of memories. Our highlight was getting to watch our friend's golden retriever puppy, Moose! He loved life at the beach! 
His parents were also in Ocean Isle but their house didn't allow dogs. We were so happy to keep him! Grady and I walked him every day.
Molly Anne loved on him!
Went to their house for an oyster roast then hung on the beach. It was a good day!
Annual turkey trot on Thanksgiving morning!
Then we headed down to Pawleys for Thanksgiving day.
Back to Moose!
On Friday we hung with friends who were down with their family. It got cold on Friday. Grady played at a neighbors house all day with their grandson who was in town.
Late night at the park
Nails date!
Christmas nails, check check!
Christmas parade which is always so cute!
So pretty on our canal
We really enjoyed using our little solo stove this week. Have to put it on a tile for extra carefulness!
Beach buds
Flotilla - boat parade was a good time. We watched from the east end this year at the public park which was perfect.

On Friday night our plans got changed at the last minute so we headed over to DBs and our good friends Regina and Jeff were there. That was a great surprise. We hung with them then headed to our old neighbors house in the hood.
Oh and I got our Christmas lights put on for outside! I love how it looks at Christmas!
Saturday morning Grady and I ran to PopUp Bagels and grabbed some to bring home for breakfast. SO good. The pickle cream cheese was a bit spicy but it was all delish.
Molly Anne and I went to the Southern Women's Christmas Show (we only stayed for a couple of hours...so many people!) then to Erin McDermott's cute shop where she made a charm bracelet.
That evening she had a birthday party and we celebrated our nieces birthday. Grady lost a tooth on the way home!
Sunday was church, Costco for Thanksgiving day treats and out for dinner at a sushi/chinese/thai place nearby. We are ready for a short school week!! I have a list of things I'm going to buy on Black Friday online too. Highly recommend thinking now and making a list!! I always forget stuff then grrrr when I have to pay more!
ONE - I loveeee this hand towel for a gift or in my half bath! Festive and cheery!
TWO - these glass cut candle holders look so good on a mantle or a table. I am kind of in the collecting mode on them!
THREE - the lip oil from yesterday! One tube is expensive but it lasts for a really long time!
FOUR - someone gave this fancy thing to me recently and I always forget how great of gifts diffusers are! This is the best smell for this time of year.
FIVE - and a fun sweatshirt!
My birthday was on Monday. That morning Kevin found out that he was supposed to get me a gift from Grady to give me. Grady was SO sad he didn't have anything to give me. I asked Molly Anne what it was and he told Kevin too. I said Kevin I can get that during lunch at work today and bring it home wrapped. So that's what I did.
Grady was SO happy that 'Kevin had gotten it for me' for him to give to me. It was soooooo sweet. He was like, "guess what Mama, Daddy got me the gift for you!" This was him when he was about to give it to me. I love his heart! 
The things we do for our children!! ;) PS the lady Amanda at Nordstrom was soooo sweet about it and gave me some extra things for grady to tuck I to the gift! ;)
