Merry Christmas + Happy Holidays

December 24, 2014 by Amanda R DeWitt

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Dave and I!

enjoy your holidays 

I’m headed to Nebraska by my lonesome today since Dave has to work on Christmas (boo!). He will join us in a couple of days though and we will hang out there through New Years! I’m so thankful I have a flexible job at the cafe as well as a way to supplement the income while on vacation through freelancing and this blog. 

A couple of notes for today:

-Make sure to check out the awesome giveaway happening right now. You definitely don’t wanna miss out! (You can pick your style and color, so don’t think you have to get the exact one pictured!)

armpocket giveaway

-You better also check out the currently trending post on the blog (possibly from this pin on pinterest) containing all of my favorite lines from the movie Elf!

buddy the elf what's your favorite color

-Subscribe to e-mail updates! There are 3 different subscription preferences so you can either

a. Receive daily notifications of new posts + exclusive content,

b. Receive weekly notifications of new posts + exclusive content and

c. Receive only exclusive content (no new post notification).

I’m making it a goal to finish up an ebook I’ve been working on exclusively for e-mail subscribers plus other exclusive content as a thank you for subscribing! ๐Ÿ™‚

-Pretty please..don’t resolve to diet after the holidays. What typically happens with this type of mindset is that you binge over the holidays and then punish yourself with a restrictive diet and exercise plan. Don’t do that! Resolve to eat happy and move happy every day of the year! 

[Tweet “Resolve to eat happy and move happy every day of the year! #resolution #realtalk”]

Regardless of what you do or donโ€™t celebrate, I hope you all have a wonderful December 25th filled with yummy food, family and laughter. Thank you SO MUCH for being a part of my life and supporting this blog! <3

Much love and happy holidays!

How and what are you celebrating this season?

Do you enjoy long car rides by yourself? Like 6-7 hour ones?

 

PS I’m all about Pinterest this year, so I would LOVE IT if you could pin one (or two!) of these images!

Pin with me!

    Happy holidays Amanda!

    I’m not much for car rides for more than an hour. I tend to get sleepy even when I’m not sleepy!
