I want to thank everyone who left a comment, texted me, messaged me on Facebook, etc. about my Anniversary yesterday. I would be sitting at my desk and every time I saw a notification on my phone, it was like getting a hug – thank you!
I am having trouble again getting my photos off my phone – every time I plug in my phone to my computer, it pops up “no new images” when I know there are pictures there. In any event, I went to WW yesterday to weigh in – I hadn’t been in three weeks! I haven’t been doing as well as I could have been, obviously December is an emotional month for me, so I was pleasantly surprised that I lost .2! I thought for sure I’d have a gain of five pounds! But I think because of Weight Watchers, I am more aware – and most of my meals are definitely WW friendly, it’s the wine and in between stuff that gets me. I really need to focus on the “other” stuff going into 2017!
I may post my eats when I get to work, just to be accountable, but I wanted to share some fun Christmas cards with you. I first met Christina in 2008 via our respective blogs. I loved her cooking style, and her sense of humor. She was the very first blogger I met in real life (Mara was there too!) back in 2009. You can see the recap in this post here. We met a couple more times before she and her husband moved back to North Carolina where she is from originally. She’s now married, and has the most beautiful daughter.
I am so happy she’s happy being a Momma – seeing her daughter grow is one of my favorite things to see on Instagram. But what I LOVE about Christina and her husband is that they have THE BEST Christmas cards.
UPDATE: I apologize that I never thought that Christina’s privacy may be compromised by putting her Christmas Cards on my blog, so at her request (sorry Christina!) I am removing them.
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. I plan to get some exercise in, do some last minute shopping (um, I mean start shopping!) for Hannah and Jacob, and then just have a relaxing weekend. I plan to spend time in my kitchen making treats for family gifts that I am shipping next week – I figure if they get there before the new year I am good.
Merry Christmas!
the “other stuff” is my problem too. I’m doing a dry January this year and maybe another whole30 in February?
I’ve never commented before, but those cards are so dang cute! Anyway, I have been reading your blog and following on instagram for a few years now and love your style! The weight is always a struggle, and your healthy eating always inspires me to try and do better. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas, and I am looking forward to what life has in store for you in 2017!
How funny! I love creative cards like that
GIANT BABY!!! Those cards are great!
Merry Christmas, my friend. 🙂
Merry Christmas Vat! (and Christina! Love the cards)

Merry Christmas to you too Roz! (and Dennis and Neva!) Hugs!
Merry Christmas Biz! I was thinking about you lots yesterday.
Merry Christmas Marcia – I appreciate the love from California – it’s still top on my list to visit California – how crazy I’ve made it to 48 and never been? Although I can’t remember if you’ve been to Chicago either?!
Enjoy your holiday with the hubs and your cute boys!
Love their cards too
This is the first year I was done shopping a week before Christmas…..still procrastinating on the wrapping part. Although this year I got a lot of Holiday bags and tissue paper so that will be a lot easier!
Merry Christmas B!
I think it’s because we are doing a low key Christmas that I just didn’t overthink it – I know what I want to buy, so it’s all good. Merry Christmas to you too! 😀
So I submitted the first comment. I got an error. I repainted the page in a new browser and the comment wasn’t there (Helen’s was still the only comment on the page). I tried to resubmit the first comment. I got an error again. So I said, “Fine! I’ll just write a different one.”
And they both showed up.
Hi Charlie, Hi Charlie, Hi Charlie! Who knows?! Have fun with your Momma – sorry your Christmas Eve is going to be so hectic, I hope to be in my pajamas all day 😀
Sounds like you need to do some first-minute shopping. 🙂
You need to do some first-minute shopping. 🙂
Those cards are fantastic! What a great sense of humor they have.
Merry Christmas Biz!
Merry Christmas Helen!
