Tiny Victories

We bought more Christmas gifts! 4? People are done. 2 of which gifts are the adorable house kits @iualia posted in the black Friday thread for very similar prices to Amazon but local! I want one SO badly but it is the wrong season of life. We bought nothing that is not a gift!

i was feeling pretty gross yesterday but i medded up and went to get hot pot with my brazilian bestie and a bunch of other people and my brain only mildly bugged out a couple of times. it was fun regardless and i made it home to my beloved horizontal-on-a-heating-pad position.

Hot pot fixes everything. Sometimes it also causes things, but we won’t speak of that

Found a really gorgeous and well curated toy site involving lots of good smaller companies and my mom LIKED IT and got the girls a bunch of gifts from there and not Amazon :tada: (i mean she’s still getting gifts from Amazon, too, but it diverted some of the massive shopping spree)

(Also how insanely cute is this lion she’s getting for Luna?)

Oh! The other Christmas success! I now successfully have BOTH sides of the families doing secret santa type exchanges to some degree. Huge since each family has 3 kids + partners + the founding parents, so that was a lot of grow up to grow up gifting that just did not need to be occurring.

Placed a big Kohls order for things recently, forgot to have Kiddo help me choose pajama pants for Mr. Meer so now I used all the Kohls cash/coupons/etc. so they cost all of $0.21.

Super cute, plusI love cups that are wide on the bottom like that. It’s almost impossible to spill them.

Also the shipping cost more than the actual mug so I added in a couple of snacks for myself for no additional shipping cost. :rofl:

As part of my postpartum convalescence, we’ve been watching Northern Exposure. It’s been bringing me a ton of pleasure.
