We made it! Christmas Day is here and gone. Another successful holiday season and happy kids.

In the 10 years of being a parent - and juggling it all during the season - it amazes me how it does all come together. One minute I’m the poster parent for #hotholidaymess and the next I’m sitting with my coffee in hand looking at the aftermath of Christmas morning. A big holiday high five!

This was the hardest and weirdest holiday season. I missed my family. I missed holiday parties. I missed participating in their school parties and holiday shop. I missed shopping in a big, crowded mall. With all that I was thinking I lost I realized I gained so much more by being able to spend so much time with my girls. We enjoyed prepping for the holidays and making our own fun.

In the end seeing their smiles is the best part of the season and we enjoyed our mermaid christmas.

Happy Holidays!
