This would be even good without the rum and amaro.

Secret Santa 2021
Last night was the start of a new tradition!
This video has friendships from 30 yrs ago. Wow. I feel old saying it. Some from 20 yrs. Some from 15 yrs.
I love this crew. It’s my sister, cousin, best friends. We met in elementary school, some in college, some as we started our journey of adulthood. I pieced us together and last night was our secret Santa gag gift exchange.
I won with the hail Betty White prayer candle I gifted. It was great to be together and laugh and see each other. We always have a group text going but to take the time and talk while we saw each other made us all appreciate one another.
Life has been rough. Enjoy the little things that make it good again.
Be Easy On Yourself
We all have a story. Some are harder than others. Be patient and gentle with yourself!

What Friendships Continue
When I saw this I laughed. It’s funny. But then I thought about it. It’s kind of true. Think of the people you no longer speak with this year or things that ended. Some for good reasons. Some for unexplained reasons.
Wish them well and continue with your life. I have a lot of different groups of friends in my life. My college friends. Mommy friends. Cousin friends. Kid friends. They are all my forever friends.
Those who we no longer speak well to be honest there’s a reason for it. Those who continue in my life thank you for being there for me. Those who come and
go thank you for the memories and lessons!

Our Mini Christmas
We decided to exchange all our Christmas gifts this weekend since the kids won’t be together over the holidays. It was perfect.
We first opened gifts.
And the girls decorated stockings. We then had Pepe’s and attended the Holiday Lights Spectacular at https://hartfordhealthcareamp.com/
It was perfect. Lots of laughs and love. My boyfriend even had us adults exchange infront of the kids.
I got my kitchen bench I have been asking for. It’s perfect. We decided to do this every year with the kids.
Simple. Easy. Fun. Love. That’s what life is about. If that’s not your life then please change it. So grateful we can give the girls theses experiences together.
A Must See…Hartford Healthcare Amphitheater in Bridgeport
This is our favorite light display we have seen. It’s so cool! There’s a laser music show they do with dancing lights. It’s amazing!
I have been hearing about this and decided to go here with my boyfriend and all our kids to celebrate Christmas fun together. It’s so worth it. You can purchase 5D glasses for $5 each. Which are great but not necessary.
I am going to go back next week and bring my parents.
Gingerbread Houses & Baking Fun
I love our crew. We have this great life together. We get our kids together whenever possible and I love how great he is with my girls.
Today we did gingerbread houses and sugar cookies. I always loved the holidays but especially now when I have my girls and someone amazing to share it with.
What’s your favorite holiday activity?

Stamford Holiday Stroll
We wanted to check it out. I must admit it’s best for children but we did enjoy walking through. There’s holiday music playing and interactive lights and displays.
It’s there first year doing it. You can still go to the Beer Garden without seeing doing the holiday lights stroll. It closes at 9:00 pm and there is ice skating which is nice.

Thank Those Who Have Helped You!
You know those types of people….Be sure to appreciate and thank them.
It’s this week’s book fair at my little ones school. I set them a budget and added money to the school e-wallet. My youngest came home and gave me her receipt. She went over budget and someone paid in cash for her balance. I automatically asked her if my friend was working the book fair. She said yes. I knew she paid and when I asked her she said she didn’t know what I was talking about. Of course covering for my little one going over budget.
Ironically that same day I saw her son who waved to me at school pickup for my oldest daughter. I pulled over and talked to him. He said his dad was running late and he was concerned so he used my phone to call him.
We were helping each others kids on the same day and didn’t even realize it. Those are the type of people you want in your life.
