I wasn't sure if I would be hosting Christmas again this year, so I started to shopping anyway for Christmas items. Either way, I am going to get some new holiday decorations so Antonio can help decorate. He really loves decorating these days, so I know he will love helping this year again! Here are [...]
I know it is super EARLY to think about Christmas, but I like to get started on my shopping and so many others in my family. I usually put together a list for Antonio. He personally picks them out and lets me know what he wants from Santa. I thought this was a great list [...]
