1.  Office heater

A few months ago....like many months ago...Mike bought me a heater for my office. I use it every single day and I am obsessed with it.  Sadly, when I leave my office it feels like an icebox everywhere else but that is a small price to pay for the warmth.

2. Fondue Pot

This week I have been on a quest to find a fondue pot for our anniversary.  My newest staff member, Melissa, has 2 AMAZING pots that she uses every year at Christmas.  She brought them in, gave me an amazing recipe and I am pumped to have a stay-at-home date night next week with Mike.

3. The struggles

I decided this morning to be grateful for the struggles because the other side of this will be so beautiful.  Right now we struggle with brushing teeth, being kind to our brother and follow through on chore completion.  Our biggest struggles include attitude and electronic time negotiation.  These are my current 9year old vs mom struggles.

4. Clear day on my calendar

I have ANOTHER clear day on my calendar that is not filled with meetings.  I am going to try and get some errands done during lunch time and start Christmas gifts for the staff.  Hoping to get lots of these "chores" out of the way and be able to enjoy the holiday season.  We have been so busy with the hustle and bustle of life.  I am determined to be more efficient and not waste so much time.

5. Brian and Lauren GOT A HOUSE

I am so excited that these two purchased their first house.  I wish that it was closer to mine but that is an entirely different story.  This is huge for them and I know such a huge relief for Lauren.
