hustle and bustle.

It's always interesting getting back in the swing of things after a holiday or after a couple days of exciting activity, both have a way of throwing a curve ball at your normal routine. Well, these past few days of mine, I've been playing catch up. I've started ordering Christmas gifts, I've written letters I was behind on writing, I've watched baby girl master the art of waving, I've re-introduced myself to my Christmas playlist, I've begged the Mr. for five more minutes of sleep every single morning, and I've began putting the finishing touches on this little book of mine - Alleluia!

Sometimes we need a break from a break, or a vacation after a vacation, but for many of us, we can't always indulge in such a treat...so, when the alarm clock goes off the next morning {or in our case, when baby girl wakes up}  it's go time once again, back to the hustle and bustle of every day demands.

One of the common characteristics of the Christmas season is how busy we all seem to get...so much to do, so little time, and it always seems to go by way too fast. Well, with December being only one day away, I'm on a mission to try to make it last a little longer, stretch the Season a little more, embrace it now because it's already here, and hold on tight so the real meaning of Christmas isn't lost amidst all the hustle and bustle. I already feel behind, seeing that our Christmas tree isn't even decorated yet {totally jealous of all you, day-after-Thanksgiving tree decorators}, but hopefully our tree will be done soon. Until then, I'm fighting baby girl's little hustle and bustle-self, since she always seems to have something new to do, as she's in the process of discovering any and all uncharted territories worth exploring.

baby girl's, hustle and bustle face.
