It was Monday yesterday, and I forgot to do a Motivational Monday Post. I don’t know how it slipped my mind, but it did. I just remembered now that I did not post. I am kind of mad about it, but that is just how things are. I am forgetful and if I don’t write something on a list, I will forget about it.

This past weekend was a lot of fun. We had my brother, sister-in-law, my niece, and nephew here. We ate lunch together and just spent time together. It was just what I needed. There was a lot of laughing and it got loud a couple of times, and I was exhausted when they went home. But I was tired and happy.

Sunday was the first of Advent and my husband (with some help and guidance from me) had made me a Advent-calendar with packages to open every day. I opened the first on Sunday and got a book. Yesterday I got a letter board, something I have wished for a while.

And before you say anything, I have made my husband an Advent-calendar as well. I have done that on and of since we moved in together. His will mostly be different beers to try and mine will mostly be books, but also other things that are practical or something we want.

Making my husband advent calenders is fun for me. I also feel that it is a great way to show him how much I appreciate him. I know Christmas is not his favorite time of the year and that he does a lot of Christmas things for my sake, which I am very grateful for.

Now I am going to cozy down with the dogs and read my book. I wish you all an amazing week!

Love, Nea
