My Grown Up Christmas List

-

Going in to the holiday season, I never expect to receive gifts. I never usually ask for anything, either. Buttttt I was online window shopping (as usual) and realized that I have a ton of full "carts" across all kinds of sites on the interweb haha. So I thought it might be fun to share what items I have in my carts- my grown-up Christmas list, if you will. 

I would LOVE a Cricut machine, vinyl, tools, etc. Mostly, I just want to create all the custom crewnecks and home decor signs. Imagine how much moolah I will save (after this investment, lol)?

I really like this charging station/ organizer. I love when everything has a home, and when hotspot/ like items are stored together, even better. 

A new desk chair would be amazing. I can't with the one I have now- it is about 15 years old and my butt HURTS after a day of working from home. I feel stupid complaining about sitting down all day but I can't help it, my body hurts so much lol. This one from Wayfair looks really comfortable. 

The illustrated edition of Goblet of Fire looks absolutely breathtaking. I have the first three, and am only missing this one to be up to date on my collection. Jim Kay is so incredibly talented. 

I would love a new bookshelf to replace my 30 year old one from my childhood, since it's falling apart and has seen better days. I really like this one from Target. 

These slippers look dreamy. I always love anything cozy. 

Maybe this is boring, but the Ninja flipaway airfryer looks so convenient and doesn't take up a ton of space. Seems like a no-brainer for our small kitchen. 


To me, Christmas has never been about gifts, but it's always fun to have a wishlist. What items are on yours?

Linking up with Lindsay.

    Book shelves are really hard to find - nice ones, I mean.
    I want a cricuit but I have watched videos & I just dont think I'm that smart LOL.
    I want one of those printers to print pics from your cell phone to put in my planner for memory keeping. I'm trying to be slick & hint to the Hubs about it. ... I'll probably just end up buying it myself - LOL

    Wish lists are so fun. Nothing wrong with putting together a little list just for fun (especially this year!)

    Bahaha, I have full carts all over the dang place too! I am addicted to our air fryer, but also have a small kitchen. I've never seen a nice flipaway one like that before!!!

Friday Favorites! A hodge podge of random things

The other day I was going through Goodreads, picking out books I wanted to add to my library wishlist (I always say, searching for books is a completely separate hobby from reading, lol!). I came across Fredrick Bachman's newest release,  Anxious People . I always look at the quotes page to see if I vibe with the author's writing style. Man, does this book have some nuggets of wisdom! There are so many poignant quotes. This one resonated with me, just thinking about how overwhelming life can get when all those little things pile up: "Because the terrible thing about becoming an adult is being forced to realize that absolutely nobody cares about us, we have to deal with everything ourselves now, find out how the whole world works. Work and pay bills, use dental floss and get to meetings on time, stand in line and fill out forms, come to grips with cables and put furniture together, change tires on the car and charge the phone and switch the coffee machine off and not forget

coffee chat

If you and I had coffee, we would likely get a table outside. Mask mandates have been lifted here, so we would be able to feel a bit "normal" while sitting at a coffee shop with our drinks. I would probably put way too much creamer or syrup in my coffee, and you'd tease me and ask if I want some coffee with my cream. I'd roll my eyes but laugh because you're right. I love me a good indulgent coffee. It's the one "unhealthy" thing I won't budge on.  We would catch up, since it's probably been a really long time since we have gotten together in person. We'd agree that while facetime/ Zoom chats were an okay substitute, nothing compares to face-to-face girl time.  I'd tell you about how the weight on my shoulders feels a bit less "heavy" even though every now and again there are still some really dark days. I would admit that though they don't come as frequently anymore, they do come out of the blue. I'd talk about how

Our Memorial Day Weekend

Happy Monday, y'all. I gotta be honest, with everything going on I completely forgot it was Memorial Day weekend! Here's what we got up to.  Friday was an extremely productive day. I got a ton checked off my deep cleaning to-do list, including cleaning out my toaster, deep cleaning the fridge, scrubbing down the cabinets, and taking apart and cleaning the vacuum. I also meal prepped my favorite low-carb Mexican beef casserole and cleaned my kitchen floor. Whew!  I didn't sleep well Friday night, so I slept in late Saturday morning. We had a late brunch and got back to work. Hubby worked in Isabela's room, while I tackled more off my deep cleaning to-do list. Then we worked together to hook up the fridge so we could finally have a working ice maker. By the end of that project I had to reclean my entire kitchen, from dusting to reorganizing cabinets to washing the floor. It was dinner time when we finished- we were both too pooped to cook, so we opted for Portuguese take
