Last week I introduced the new series I would be starting so if you haven't gotten a chance to read that yet, click here to check it out! The first mug with a story is from The Christmas Mouse in the Outer Banks. Since I did not grow up in Hampton Roads I had never been to OBX before meeting Nathan. The summer we got engaged his parents rented a beach house over 4th of July weekend and I quickly fell in love with the area when I visited.

One of the stores Nathan brought me to that weekend was The Christmas Mouse. If you know me you know I love ALL things Christmas. I start playing Christmas music in November to get myself in the holiday spirit and I love all the traditions my family celebrates surrounding this day. It also happens to be both my brother's and my father-in-law's birthday, so that always makes it extra special!

I honestly have no idea how long I was in The Christmas Mouse the first time around...
