Well. I’ve been a bad blogger lately, haven’t I? Sorry for the lack of posting lately! We are soaking up as much family time as possible and I’m so happy we still have the rest of the week. I’ve been much better about sharing pics on Instagram – it’s so fast and easy. When my kids and husband are home with me I just can’t bring myself to spend hours on the computer. But a few posts are almost finished and coming soon because I still have Christmas decorating posts that I never finished! December got away from me. It always does no matter how prepared I try to be. For now here are a few random pics from the past two weeks I never got around to posting…

My little buddy helping his daddy make pancakes – our Saturday morning routine. Continue reading “Recent December pics”
Christmas Card Stair Garland

Happy almost Christmas everyone! Are you ready? We are wrapping things up around here. Literally. :) I was going to gear up to face the crowds today and hit the mall for a few last minute things, but my little buddy isn’t feeling well. He is asleep across my lap sharing space with my laptop as I type this right now. Poor little thing. Thank goodness for Amazon! Guess I’ll be doing my last minute Christmas shopping on-line. I can live with that. :) Thought I’d share some pics of our staircase decked for the holidays! But first our Christmas card… Continue reading “Christmas Card Stair Garland”
Christmas in the family room

Is everyone still standing!? Surviving the busiest month of the year!? I’m so happy to have made it through this week! So much fun but I’m exhausted. I love all of the parties and school programs and gift giving and craziness, but my favorite part of December is when my kids are out of school and we can just be home enjoying the season together as a family. Really looking forward to next week! I have so many things I still want to share on the blog this December and I’m running out of time! One week until Christmas. Yikes! Time to get posting. :) Continue reading “Christmas in the family room”
Neutral Christmas Console Table

Happy Monday everyone! One more week until kids are out of school for Christmas break! I have to be honest and say that I’m so excited to get this week behind me. I can’t wait to have my kids out of school so we can spend mornings in our pajamas watching Christmas movies and evenings in our pajamas driving around looking at Christmas lights. There seems to be a theme here with pajamas. Clearly I’m a fan. :)
Sharing how I decorated my console table for the holidays today! This table ended up being more neutral and less colorful than I originally planned, but it still feels festive when you come around the corner into our family room.

Displaying Past Santa Pictures

Is tomorrow already Wednesday!? Oh man. It’s December. Are you feeling it? Overwhelmed much? :) My calendar makes me tired. Mostly good stuff! Just a lot of it. I’m grateful I got an earlier start this year on Christmas preparation although I still feel like there is so much to do. I’ve been trying to take some pictures of my Christmas decor and can’t seem to keep the house clean long enough to make it happen! Ha! I did get a few today before everything exploded on my kitchen counters. Hopefully I can get the rest taken tomorrow, but with the way this month is going so far I’m not holding my breath!

Christmas in the Powder Bathroom

I have had so much fun decorating for the holidays this year! I’m not one to over do it and my decor is really pretty simple, but by just adding a little pop of Christmas here and there the house is feeling quite festive. :) Continue reading “Christmas in the Powder Bathroom”
A New Look!
Happy December everyone! Popping in with a fun announcement today! Sunny Side Up has a new look! I have wanted to do this for a long time now. I’m switching from Blogger to WordPress and decided my happy little spot here on the internet was way past due for a makeover. Fun! Who doesn’t love a good makeover? :) This has been a work in progress for months and I felt like I needed to just switch everything over now or I will spend the next forever tweaking and fine tuning everything. So that being said, there is still some tweaking and fine tuning that needs to happen. I’m still in the process of categorizing all of my posts so you’ll notice when you click on my navigation bar at the top of my blog there will be a “coming soon” page or just a few posts added. Give me a few weeks and hopefully I’ll have all of that finished. I’m also happy to announce that I FINALLY have it set up so that you can subscribe to my blog and get my posts e-mailed to you. YEA! Many of you have asked over the years if there was a way to subscribe to my blog and I’m so happy to finally answer YES! That option is on my sidebar or you can click HERE to signup .
I’m hoping that aside from a new updated look this makeover makes things more organized for all of you! Definitely let me know if you are having any problems with my site over the next few days. Hopefully this will be a fun new change for all of us. Just for a good time here is a look back at some of my old blog headers. I used to change them every season! That was before baby #3 came along. :)

Our Favorite Toys! (2014)
**Comments were lost on this post when I switched my blog to WordPress! I read them all and was thrilled to hear your kids love so many of the same toys! Thank you!
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Such a fun holiday. Hard not to enjoy an excuse to eat and hang out with family. We’ve had such crazy warm weather here lately that after we ate Thanksgiving dinner we all went for a swim. Something about it just didn’t feel right! But we did it anyway. :) Continue reading “Our Favorite Toys! (2014)”
Favorite Children’s Books
**So sorry! Comments to this post were lost when I switched my blog to WordPress. I read them all! Thank you!
Earlier today I was making a list of our favorite toys to share with all of you to give you a few gift ideas (coming soon!). It occurred to me while I was thinking about the toys my kids love and play with again and again that books should be at the top of that list. Continue reading “Favorite Children’s Books”
