Messy Messy Fail - I was so close to posting on time.  And then I forgot lol.

Tidy Victory - I am cleaning up corners of my house I didn't even know existed.  Feeling productive!

Messy Messy Fail - As I was looking outside to see if the dog was back from her potty break yet, I realized that the garden hose was still outside and hooked up to the spigot. Splendid.

Tidy Victory - I published three old parties in one evening. :)

Messy Messy Fail - Never did bake too many cookies for Christmas.  Although when I do I end up eating many of them which is very unnecessary at this point.

Tidy Victory - Since I am publishing this post-Christmas, I can report how successful a Christmas we had.  The kids loved all of their presents, had a lovely day helping the toddler open her gifts and just had a beautiful time.

Messy Messy Fail - Well, isn't this the most behind I've ever gotten.  

Tidy Victory - Giving myself grace and moving on. :)

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #509

Messy Messy Fail - I have yet to bake any cookies.  Tomorrow maybe?

Tidy Victory - I bought my last Christmas present today with one day to spare.  What can I say, I like living on the edge!

Messy Messy Fail - A few weeks late again. So sue me.

Tidy Victory - My holiday concert season was successful but it's over!

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #507

Messy Messy Fail - Concert season is upon us and I need to get in gear.  Just a couple of performances with both my high school and middle school groups.  But the month of December just gets nuts!  

Tidy Victory - I am finally caught up.  Again.  Let's see how long I can keep this up for. :)

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #506

Messy Messy Fail - All I wanted was a holiday sipper from Walmart.  You know, the little glass with the bamboo lid that makes you look really chic when sipping your coffee.  I checked my Walmart app that morning, showed up to purchase my sipper - NO SIPPER!

Tidy Victory - Scored a good deal on some dupe perfumes at CVS instead!!!!

Messy Messy Fail - Have I bought one thing for Christmas yet?  I don't think so, because even if I did I don't remember.

Tidy Victory - Most of the Halloween decorations are down :D

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #504

Messy Messy Fail - Halloween is still up inside the house.  Making it stretch until it's operation Christmas time!

Tidy Victory - Right side of the house (garden wise that is) it cleaned up and ready for winter!  I spent about 3+ hours today cleaning up the last of the annuals and perennials - done!

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #503

Messy Messy Fail - Wow I really got behind by almost a month - I should have never said anything about catching up!

Tidy Victory - I have gotten really good at giving myself gel nail manicures at home!  I purchased a UV light with a starter set of colors from a local friend on FB marketplace, figured out how to do it and voila - pretty nails for work and weekends!
