It’s the first Friday of the month and not only is it time for Friday Cocktails but it also time to talk about our monthly goals. This is not any sort of month though it is the first month of the Christmas holiday season which means everything takes on a new life. I mean not only it the holidays but also the last month of the year. Time to reflect back and start looking ahead.
Although I admit I am not yet ready to look ahead or reflect. This year was the year that we all began to recover from the very crazy year that was 2020. That is a post for another Friday will possibly something stronger to drink that day.
DECEMBER GOALS
For this month I want to finish the year strong. I am still struggling a bit with a number of things but I am hoping that during December I can find some peace with them. Both in my personal and my professional lives. 2020 was hard for everyone but for me 2021 has been a rollercoaster. More than wonderful at times and then other times it was like a dark cloud had dissented and wouldn’t leave.
5 FINDS THIS WEEK
This week we are all about the comfort. I am sharing with you some items that I own and love. You can click any of the images to go to the items on Amazon. I love shopping on Amazon and you can find all of the items on my various lists herefollow. I add to them all the time so be sure to check often.
Wooden Christmas Decoration: These are simply amazing. I think it is what we will be getting for our tree this year as I am a little late in getting it put up.
Christmas Minis set from “AradiyaToys Minis” Collection: These are super cute as well. I think I want a set of these but I’m not sure where I will put them. They just make me smile so, I will most likely get them.
Baby It’s Cold Outside: I mean is this not just the cutest thing you have ever seen? I love it and the fact that I can put it on the door and then take it back down is perfect for me. Although I do wish it was colder here where I live.
Winter Gnomes: Ma loves gnomes and this is a way to include her love of them with everything else going on during the holidays.
WHO Directional Sign: Okay this is a pdf for printing a large photo booth prop 48 x 20 inch (120 x 50cm). This digital file needs to be printed on 48 x 20 inch foam board, at a commercial printer. They also show how to print it and glue it onto board. I think this would be fun for a Grinch themed party.

I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

Happy Friday! I am behind schedule on my holiday prep this year. I have compiled a gift list on Amazon and started re-organizing and cleaning my apartment so that I can decorate but in years past I would have had my home decorated already and half of my shopping done by now. Aging is not agreeing with me! Lol

This year holiday is going okay. I just got done shopping a bit and I have no clue what to get my 14 year old son because all he does is play games LOL I think this year we are celebrating at our grandpops like we usually do, so I am excited about that it’s been crazy since Covid.
