Ready or not, here come the holidays!
I’ve always gotten a kick out of gift giving, which is why creating monthly gift guides this year has been so enjoyable. I hope you’ve found them helpful too in loving on or uplifting those you care about. A well-thought out gift can speak incredible volumes about how you see them and their specific interests and/or needs.
A couple years ago I watched as my mom attempted to be “done by December 1” with her Christmas shopping, and I saw how much more she enjoyed the month of December with all of her shopping completed. Last year I sought out to do the same, and wow – the month of December felt much lighter and so much more fun! I have my budgeting spreadsheet all ready to keep track of holiday spending, and now I’m ready to go to town (online) shopping ’til I drop!
For the next two weeks (starting Tuesday) I’ll have a new gift guide for you each afternoon in addition to regular morning blog posts. Here’s a look at what you can expect. I’ll be updating this post with links as each guide is posted!

Let’s chat!
Who is routinely the hardest person for you to shop?
Hi! I’m Erica, and I absolutely adore sharing my life on this website with you! I come here almost daily to blab about all of the things related to being a regular wife and mother in today’s ever-evolving society. I share about our new home, what’s on our kitchen table, what we’re hanging in our closets, where we’re traveling to next, my crazy 5 a.m. work outs, how I make time for girlfriends, our faith, and much more. We always have a lot of balls in the air and somewhat thrive on the chaos. I believe in the power of story-telling as a form of inspiration and entertainment, so I’m here to do both! I was born and raised in north Alabama and recently re-planted roots here again after my husband transitioned out of the Army (he is now in the Reserve and it’s going so well!) I’m a super proud mom to three little girls (ages 7, 4, and 1) who seem to be the stars of the show around here (for good reason – they’re pretty great!) I’m so glad you found me and are here reading! I hope we can get to know each other here on the blog as well as Facebook and/or Instagram. xoxo
