kickin' off december

Yeah, 24 days until Christmas. Crazy!

But that means I get to decorate & use my favorite coffee mug!



MattyB let me change up our decor this year - and I even got to make my first wreath.




Our theme is now "rustic". I like how the wreath turned out! And FYI the "twiggy wreath" is called a "grapevine wreath". Thanks lady at Michael's for educating me!

I'm not 100% happy with how our Christmas tree turned out, which kinda stinks because Matt also informed me I'm not allowed to change the theme. Ever.

Ignore the messy tree skirt....

haha, my attempt at a burlap ribbon tree topper!

glitter poinsettia ornaments :) 

that top ornament is an owl - and of course a reindeer to complete the woodland animals

totally rustic star

antlers!!!

Do you change your theme every year?
We had a turquoise & gold theme since 2008 - - which was a carryover from my apartment living since 2006. We ere overdue for a new theme.

who gets to be the butt?

This week I restarted the half marthon training. I'm using a program from the Women's Running Magazine. Instead of having mileage goals this week (with the exception of the endurance run, which is tomorrow), it was all time goals.

Their schedule for me this week:
M - 45 minutes, easy run
T - 45 minutes, moderate pace
W - 30 minutes, easy run
Th - cross training
F - 45 minutes, easy run
S - 7 miles

I changed it up a bit:
W - Rest :)
Th - 30 minute run, Physique 57 30 minute advanced express workout
F - Rest :)

And tomorrow, will be the 7 miles definitely, but I may squeeze in a few more miles. We'll see.
How's your training!?

My friend Erin is having a baby girl, due in November. Matt had bought me a Cricut a few months back, so naturally I wanted to make her baby shower invitations. The theme is punk baby / glam rock....so I adorned the invites with this:
kinda hard to see but the hairbow is glitter cardstock

 "Girls Rock" in the same paper as the hair bow
 I've also been spending a ridiculous amount of time on Etsy looking for baby goodies for Erin's girl. Good grief that site has everything! I found this little treasure today:

intended for twins :)
my only question though is:
who gets to be the butt?

Somehow I drifted over to twin stuff ~ I think it would be so cool to have twins! My mom is an identical twin.
Any twins in your family?
What is / was your timeline for children?
Matt & I said 5 years. We're approaching 3 years. With many of my friends being pregnant & having babies this year....I'm hoping that 5 year plan will go away :)
