Happy #thinkingoutloud Thursday! No idea what I’m going on about? Click here!
1. I woke up on Tuesday thinking it was Christmas. I woke up on Wednesday thinking it was Christmas. I woke up today and can’t tell you what I was thinking because I’m writing this on Wednesday night, so Thursday morning has yet to happen ? But my brain is officially in holiday mode right now, and since today (Thursday) is technically my Christmas, I think it’s safe to say that I woke up this morning thinking it was Christmas.
2. That being said…
? ? ? ?
3. Oh! And that reminds me… promise not to judge me when I show you what I’m about to show you?
I was in Michael’s the other day picking up some supplies for my new planner (squeeee!), when my eyes spied this adorable Minions colouring book on a shelf by the checkout. I’m going to conveniently ignore the fact that I’m apparently incapable of resisting the temptation of minion checkout merchandise, and just tell you that I like this colouring book and find it a lot more enjoyable and relaxing than my fancy adult colouring book. Apparently I’m just a big kid at heart.
4. On that note… how about a little bit of seasonally appropriate #tbt action?
I may not have believed in Santa, but I sure was terrified of the man who pretended to be him. I don’t even think I have one Santa picture where I’m not bawling my eyes out.
5. I also nearly bawled my eyes out (happy tears!!) when the missing planner saga finally came to a close. My Erin Condren Life Planner showed up at my door earlier this week, and I posted a little review yesterday in case you missed it. I wish I could have done it sooner, but you still have a bit of time before the end of the year to snag one if you want! I’m seriously ordering my 2017 planner as soon as they launch in June.
6. And I think that’s it for me today, friendly faces! I’ll be taking the next few days off from blogging, but I hope you have the ? Merriest of Christmases ?if you celebrate, and the happiest of Thursdays if you don’t. Either way, I hope your day is filled with tonnes of love, tonnes of laughs, and some good food on the side.
No questions… just tell me whatever comes to your mind! 😀

I am totally getting a santa picture one day crying on his lap. Even if it’s forced.
My husband and I spent a couple nights coloring out of a Ninja Turtles coloring book, so I totally get it 🙂
Merry Christmas Amanda!! We also celebrate on Christmas Eve. Luckily I got called off so I was able to spend the holiday with my family. It had been 9 years since the last time I spent Xmas with them. I was so happy!!
Eeee! That’s so amazing! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family, Daisy!
Not ashamed to say I own one very large child’s coloring book 🙂 and it gives me many relaxing hours, besides – crayons!
best pic ever! <3 santa & crying pics. Merry christmas
Coloring for me is so therapeutic. I can totally relate. I had a similar experience with my Erin Condren Life Planner.
Merry Christmas Amanda! I’m so happy you (FINALLY!) got your planner.
Thanks, Sarah! Merry [belated] Christmas to you as well! 😀
You’re never too old for a coloring book!! Good choice, and excellent job. I still don’t stay in the lines very well and if someone were to see my coloring I suspect they’d think it was done by a 10 yr old. HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
<3 Hope you had an awesome Christmas, Britt!
no judgement on the coloring book, kid coloring books are so much better than adult coloring books. you colored in the lines and everything! lol
Love all the minions in this post. Merry Christmas, Amanda!
Thanks so much, Sam! Hope your Christmas was lovely <3
Merry CHRISTmas Amanda!!! I’m so thankful that God provided your blog to network with other bloggers and get to know you better. Thank you for being such a willing vessel for serving others! Hope you have a wonderful time celebrating Jesus Christ our Lord!
You’re the sweetest, Emily! I hope you had the most amazing Christmas <3
Merry Christmas!!!
I got Max tons of Minion stuff including some more colouring books
Great presents 😀 Hope you had a lovely Christmas with your family, Rebecca!
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas : )
Thanks Jess! I hope yours was wonderful as well 🙂
I really love the looks of those Eric Condren planners. It was on my gift guide this year, although I’ve never actually purchased one myself. And for the record, tomorrow is Christmas… but I’ve don the same thing all week. Enjoy the weekend, Amanda!
MERRY CHRISTMAS you beautiful soul!! I hope that your holiday is filled with family, love and plenty of good food <3
Right back at you, lovely lady <3
I love that you picked up the minion coloring book, haha! It’s perfect! Merry Christmas, Amanda!!
Thanks, Bri! And a Merry [belated] Christmas right back at ya 😀
I think kids’ coloring books are awesome! They aren’t usually nearly as detailed, so I turn to those if all the little spaces in my adult ones are overwhelming. Also, they have adorable characters (like Minions), so that’s a plus 🙂
Have a fantastic Christmas, Amanda!
Thanks Ellen! Hope your Christmas was wonderful 😀
No shame in the Minion coloring book game! 😉 Merry Christmas, Amanda!
Thanks Kaila! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas 🙂
No judgement in the minion colouring book. I would like it better than the adult ones too. The adult ones spaces are too small. way too hard to stay within the lines!
Ha! Yeah, they’re a little stressful with all the detail. And it’s harder to use wax crayons 😉
Merry Christmas! Your planner must be your favorite Christmas gift (even if that wasn’t the intent)… 😉
Heehee! I definitely looked at it that way. Hope you had a great Christmas, Katie!
Merry Christmas Amanda!! I surprised my parents and came home yesterday. A bit of a rough flight with all the rain but nice to be back in my hometown for a few days.
They must have loved that! Hope you had an amazing Christmas with your family, Alicia!
I love the minion coloring book! I may have to go look for that now. Being a kid at heart has its benefits 🙂 merry Christmas to you!
Happy Holidays! Alex and I celebrated Christmas yesterday, though it didn’t go as smoothly as I would have liked, it was still a fantastic day when I look at the whole of it. Unfortunately, I had to freak out about my injury, but everything was spot on.
We’re all allowed our moments, especially when we’re dealing with something major like that. Sending lots of positive vibes your way <3
I think everyone needs a pic with Santa in tears. It’s just how it is! Merry Christmas Amanada!
Thanks Megan! I hope you had an amazing Christmas 🙂
I hope you have a Happy Holidays Amanda. I’m glad your planner came in. The mail this year has been a little more frustrating than normal to be honest!
Thank you, Hollie! I hope your Christmas was wonderful as well 🙂
Happy Holidays Love. Enjoy it and give Mama Spoons a hug from me.
Done and Done <3
That picture with Santa is too funny. Im sure real-life Santa looks pretty scary for most little kids! Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!
I have no idea how Santas deal with all the crying kids. I’d feel so bad! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, Lisa!
Have a very merry Christmas Amanda! The minion coring book is so cute – there’s just something irresistible about minions 🙂 and I agree the whole sitting on Santas lap thing is not natural at all!
So happy you finally got your planner! See, they were just waiting to make it a Christmas present for you! I’ll have to check out that review. I already have a running journal but . . .
Merry Christmas!
I hope you have the merriest of all the Christmases, Amanda! I love you tbt santa picture. I was hoping for a crying santa picture this year, (I’m a terrible mother bahahha) but instead I got a weirdly shocked and confused one. Which if course, I’ll still cherish.
Lol! I think my mom would have been stoked to get a confused one. I hope you and your family had an amazing Christmas, Morgan!
