For the weekend

The first snowfall of the season can be checked off the list! And on that note, I'm settling in for a cozy, warm, productive, stay-at-home-and-drink-hot-chocolate sort of weekend.

I will admit right now: I'm going to start putting up my Christmas decorations. Before you shake a finger at me, I'll just throw it out there that I normally wait until the day after Thanksgiving to decorate for Christmas... but I'm supposed to have a baby that weekend. I don't think I'll want to worry about decorations when I have a newborn. I pretty sure that's a legitimate excuse, so now I'm going to spend my weekend listening to dear Michael Buble's Christmas CD and adding a little holiday cheer to our home decor. And I will enjoy it.

Meanwhile, here are some posts for your personal weekend reading:

• One mom's thoughts on when a child's sickness messes up holiday plans (and that lamb costume is too cute!)
• Looking at this gorgeous quilt makes me want to be crafty and make my own
• This blogger put together a collection of free Christmas printables and I'm obsessed
• I was really intrigued by this post about the stigma of watching R-rated movies in the LDS church. Any thoughts from my Mormon readers?
