AUBREY KINCH

TWO MONTHS as of January 8th. That sure flew by. I don't feel like she's anything newborn lately because she's so dang chunky (12 pounds!) but I sure do love seeing her grow and develop and smile at us! She's been cooing and giving us big ol grins and it just melts me! Totally melts me.

It's been two months of three kids and I'm slowing finding my niche and routine with getting in and out of stores while running errands or quite simply living life. It's not an easy thing tackling to do lists and managing a household, feeding a marriage, staying connected at church and close to God while also making sure you're kids are happy and seeing how much their mama loves them.

I am no mama expert but I have found a few things that make being on the go nice and simple (or as simple as it can be with a tween, toddler and newborn) to get it done and back home before the monster kids come out. Let's chat through them...

Well, we've made the switch! Hollyn is solely sleeping in her bedroom through the night and during nap times. It's always so nice getting a grunting little babe out of your room for better sleep but also terrifying because of all the risks that brings not having them at arms reach if something we're to happen.

Well, Christmas has come and gone and I'm already feeling like it was a total blur. I wanted to do a lot more then I actually accomplished but that's okay. We always have next year! I spent this morning taking down decorations, deep cleaning and getting our home feeling nice and peaceful and fresh again. Sometimes doing that before New Year's Eve makes jumping into the New Year a bit less stressful and more organized. You know what I mean?

Christmas week is here and I'm blown away by how the Holiday season is almost behind us. This is by far my favorite time of year, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. Drake fully understands how amazing that is and it's so cool watching Emery slowly comprehend Jesus and learning about Him.

Christmas is something I look forward to every single year and I always say I'll embrace the season even more with each passing year. I'll do all the fun things celebrating Christ's birth with the kids and bake all the yummy goodies and let the kids be on sugar highs for a month straight but then it comes and it's finally chilly out and we bundle up and maybe have one movie night with hot cocoa and we blink and we're already taking down the Christmas decorations.

We have our Christmas cards in hand and ready to ship and I can't help but share the ones we chose. You saw here the ones I loved from Minted and when it came down to ordering, I went with these ones. Not even in the original bunch of ones I loved! So funny. I'm so indecisive, you guys!
