Thank you buybuy BABY for sponsoring this post! This post title includes one thing I love and one thing I hate ;) It is no secret that I love traditions! I gush over them on the blog all the time! That second half is not always easy for me but it is a MUST if I want to enjoy the holidays. 2020 isn't the only holiday season that has messed up my plans.

I wanted to share them with ... continue reading...

December Booklist
I wanted to only read Christmas themed books for the month of December and it was so fun! I've never done an exclusive theme before in my personal reading and I enjoyed it a lot.

Let me know if you have any Christmas suggestions, I'll add it to my Goodreads and make sure to put them on hold at the library EARLY! ... continue reading...
