OOTWW, Guest Posts and a message from me to you!

I pre-scheduled this post to go live today as it’s my first day home. Our flight got in at midnight last night.

Here’s my OOTWW, I was at work yesterday for part of the day, which is also why I’m wearing non-work related clothes — rather Airplane comfortable ones. Luckily we were all packed up and ready to go to the airport immediately after.


As I mentioned on Monday, I’m excited that I have four guest posts lined up while I am away on vacation.

Up first? Susan from The Great Balancing Act: December 27
Then it’s Lauren my co-worker scheduled for: December 28
Next it’s Julie from Peanut Butter Fingers: December 29
Finally, J from Js Everyday Fashion: December 30

Hope you all enjoy them! I sure did, reading them :)

Merry Christmas to all, and I’ll be back to regular blogging in the new year. Be safe!

Not much of a ‘to-do list’ anymore!

I’m not sure how I’m doing it but for the last two nights I’ve only gotten around 6 hours of sleep. Usually I need 8 to at least function. I’m one of those people who need tons of sleep in any given night or I’m drained if I don’t.

Last night I packed two of my suitcases and separated the weight quite evenly. I still have a few things on the drying rack that need to be packed in there as well.

Want to know something? Women are SUCH multi-taskers and I found that out the easy way last night. I’m also a little ADD about it too, because I don’t finish a task and complete it right away. Here, let me explain.

  • I filled the sink up with hot water for the dirty dishes.
  • I had supper being prepared (roasted potatoes, boiled carrots, chicken on the grill and cauliflower)
  • I decided I needed to start packing so I laid out some clothes that I wanted to bring.
  • Remembered that I should do laundry — brought 3 loads down.
  • Wanted to film an OOTD video so I filmed that on my YouTube channel
  • Decided that I wanted a clean kitchen and bathroom when I returned in January — so I scrubbed and scrubbed some more
  • Changed all the garbage’s
  • Got back to the supper (we had a late supper)
  • Starting packing Alfie’s toys
  • Laid out my clothes for the next day (my Boss gave me a cute cardigan that I wore today!)
  • Packed my lunch for today (cannot do anything in the morning)
  • I even cleaned out the fridge!!!

We even ended up watching a movie starting it at 11:30 at night. It was O Brother Where Art Thou, with George Clooney. It was a bit cookey like Burn After Reading, but I still had a few laughs.

What else I have to do before we go?

  1. Put away all the clothes on the drying rack
  2. Finish doing the dishes
  3. Replace all the towels in the bathroom (<3 coming back to clean sheets/towels etc)
  4. Make sure the Boyf gets packed
  5. Bathe Alfie & clip his nails
  6. Pack Alfie’s other belongings

Moses, what’s gotten into me. At least I’m done packing, and I even made Scott pack last night too — except his stuff isn’t in a suitcase yet. At least we’re getting there.

Happy Birthday kiddo

My little nephew turns 3 today. Only a few more days until I can wish him a happy birthday and give him his present, from Ancy Nancy. I find it super adorable that they can’t pronounce Aunt/Auntie so they call me Ancy Nancy! Eeee!

That means it’s been three years since I’ve been to Ireland! Moses.

Tonight we need to start packing up our stuff. Also, bringing Alfie back home means packing a bunch of his things as well, it’s honestly like having a kid. Alfie needs to have SO much stuff brought back with him. Ha!!

Excuse me for the lack of posting over this week. I’m so excited, I literally have no words to write on the blog, lol!!
