Christmas Pins to Ungrinch Christmas!

So, what would you imagine could be the worst thing to wake up to right after Thanksgiving, when you're walking out the door to go grocery shopping? Well, my sweet daughter Kayley woke up to a nightmare on Sunday when she headed outside to find that her car had been stolen from right outside her place.

  • Not a #TBT post, just a little nostalgia here as I look back at Lexi and Nikki as sweet little girls. They have always fiercely protected each other! As they grow older and as they are heading into high school, they have continued to have an unbreakable bond. Raising twin girls comes with unique challenges, but I am so grateful for the honor I have of being their mom. I can't wait to see what the future holds. ❤️💜🧡💚
