I realized that I haven’t taken a minute to photograph my latest makes. I know Christmas has passed, but these new additions added a lot of Christmas cheer. I think the Velicowraptor was extra fun!

Soaking up our last few days enjoying my sister's beautiful Christmas Tree before we have to say goodbye to it for the season. It’s always so sad when all the beautiful decorations come down, but I’m looking forward to so many blessings ahead. Hoping that it includes a little one.

Wrapping up 2024 with the completion of the final Kindle Challenge. I can't wait to share the love of reading with a little one!

Santa Paws was good to my sweet girl. Look how happy she is with her cookie! Can’t wait until there is a little one here for Santa Claus to visit!

May your Christmas sparkle with joy and laughter and may you find a little Christmas magic this year!

I love a trip to Hicks Nurseries because it is always so festive and exciting no matter what season it is. I always look forward to the animated show at Hicks. It is a lovely Christmas tradition to see the show and donate some food at their food collection at the end of the show.

I always have so much fun selecting and purchasing toys for the Toys for Tots drive. It is such a great organization and it always fills me with such Christmas cheer.

I am always honored to donate to the Family and Children Association. It was such a privilege to be assigned a senior to shop for this year. 

It may have been a bit rainy when we went to get our tree, but it was still so much fun. I am so grateful I was there with my sister and Jorell as they picked their first tree for their new home. It’s so exciting!

I am so blessed and have so much to be grateful for. I wanted to take a minute to express my immense gratitude for everyone who has been so supportive on my adoption journey. I truly have the greatest village.

So grateful to participate in the Long Island Cares Adopt-a-Family for Thanksgiving. We were given a food list and shopped for a family's Thanksgiving dinner. I want all families to experience the same joy and warmth that my family is so lucky to have.

My sister has been slowly decorating her new home and has been gravitating toward jungle cats in her décor and wall paper. So this year for her birthday a big cat theme was a no brainer.

Getting ready for the arrival of the new couch. I think we have plenty of room to snuggle a little one!

Check out the flower power to celebrate my Mom's birthday. My sister and I took it back to the 60's to celebrate my Mom's special day.

Back at the home show trying to get some unique ideas for our backyard. Now that my sister and I will be sharing a yard we wanted to see if we could get some inspiration.

Love never dies. Day of the Dead is one of my favorite holidays where we are able to celebrate all those who we love and lost.

We painted adorable ceramic ghosts while watching Agatha All Along. My favorite part is that they light up with all different colors! Enjoying handing out candy to all the trick or treaters. Can’t wait to have a little one to trick or treat with!

It's all just a bunch of hocus pocus. So thrilled to have spent time with all my favorite ghouls! We went to a Hocus Pocus pop up event where we were serenaded by the Sanderson Sisters.

We tried a new type of pumpkin decorating this year. I have carved pumpkins and I have painted pumpkins, but I have never used Mod Podge with flowers on pumpkins before.

Can't wait to have a little one to try all sorts of spooky treats with!
