Sent my husband to @petsmart for cat litter and he came home with an Elf Shop....

Can you guess which of them likes it the most? 🤣

The tree is up and decorated... Nevermind the cat

The tree is up and decorated...

Nevermind the cats constantly jumping in it, knocking off ornaments and bending branches.

Or that a few branches have fallen off...

Or that the top part lights went out...

How many more days until Christmas?

I woke up with a panic attack, realizing the date and just how close Christmas is.

I thought I had another week.

I'm not ready
In no way possible am I ready.

And honestly, aside from the insanely cold artic weather today, it doesn't feel like Christmas at all.

Being sick, sick to the point I could barely get out of bed, barely stay awake more than a few hours, took its toll.

The fun posts I had planned? The crafts I wanted to make? Holiday decorating and shopping? Baking? Yeah nothing... I accomplished none if it.

Combine everything together and the winter blues, holiday depression really hit hard this year.

Have you ever picked up a book to read and it ended up being exactly what you needed at the particular moment?

That how I felt with Jane's Jam, it was just what I needed to read this morning!

After reading Butter Side Up: How I Survived My Most Terrible Year & Created My Super Awesome Life earlier this year, I couldn't wait to read Jane's Jam: Inspiration to Create Your Super Awesome Life -- both books by @janeenright.author

A huge thank you to @booksparks
for sending me a #gifted copy of both amazing books!

Oh my gosh, I don't think I've ever come across books I related to this much before.

Both books are relatable, it's real life, written by someone truly experiencing what many of us have or are currently experiencing. It feels like chatting with a friend who understands our situations while inspiring us.

Synopsis:
From Butter Side Up: "The reality is, whether we like it or not, life puts us all through changes - some challenging, and many joyful- that shape our day-to-day experiences.

Butter Side Up is not self-help jargon; it is edutainment for the soul. A feel-good story that everyone can relate to and learn from, Butter Side Up shows that there can be happiness and joy after unplanned change - and a super awesome life, too."

"Jane's Jam is all about finding sweetness when life gives you lemons and leaves you feeling sour - like you're butter side down instead of butter side up.

Packed with uplifting, practical strategies and tools for overcoming obstacles and increasing outside-in thinking, mindfulness and gratitude, Jane's Jam can help you not only respond more positively to change but thrive in the midst of it."

I enjoyed both books, I especially loved the quotes throughout the books as well as the 52 Weeks of Inspiration and Resources for Everyday Living.

Craft Fair was Canceled 😞
Really disappointed, spent weeks getting ready and was hoping to make a little to put towards Christmas.
Oh well...
I need to clear out some ornaments, I have no spare room for them! Plus, would rather someone enjoy the ornaments instead of just boxing them all up.

Snowflake has arrived!

And she not only decided to decorate the holiday section of my bookshelf but also borrowed one of my mini books for a little late night reading 📚

At least she chose a holiday book 🎄

QOTD: Has your elf arrived yet? Or if no elf, does your family have any fun holiday traditions?
