The last few days have been so nice! I’ve had a chance to stay in PJ’s and enjoy my family! We finally got a Santa picture 2 days before Christmas. It’s a tradition for us, I make the kids take this yearly picture because, it’s one that I get of everyone each year.
January is around the corner and with it being a new year, it’s time to get organized! You are going to love this great DIY desk calendar!!
