Christmas is coming & I need to get organized!

I have been slacking. I keep thinking about all that has to be done before Christmas, before December for that matter but yet I haven't really done anything.
I have started some Christmas shopping but not nearly enough is done. And of course, I make matters worse by browsing the internet and going to sites like Pottery Barn, where they make everything Christmas look so idyllic!

Maybe I need this craft organizer from PB to get me motivated! But at $229USD I don't think I need it that bad!
But it is so pretty! Yes, these are the things that make me excited!

Advent! It is fast approaching. The kids are wondering how I am going to top my advent Calendar from last year. They loved that one.
So far I have succombed to holiday advertising and purchased this Lego City Advent Calendar for the boy.


From the Pottery Barn website I saw these ones and they are really cute but way too $$$.

$99 for this one

$299 for this one!

Who shops at PB anyway?! Certainly not me!

Today, is the Santa Claus Parade. Avery will be a part of it this year with her dance school. She is super excited about it! She's been planning her 'elf' costume all week.

Tomorrow. Tomorrow is when I will get motivated. It always comes together in the end anyway!
