This is it you guys! Our very last giveaway. And this is it for me too. We’ll see if I’m able to stay all the way away, I might check in here and there… and I’ll definitely be over on Instagram. But – officially – I’ll be taking the next week off to spend a little more time with family and friends.
Merry Christmas Eve!! I’ll see you all in 2014. xoxo
Ladies and gentlemen, meet the warmest jacket I’ve ever owned — and my new best friend.
You’ve all heard my grumbling… you know how much I hate winter. As soon as the air hits that point where it starts to fight back — burning your face just for stepping outside — that’s when I go into hibernation. You can’t drag me outside.
I’ve even been known to pass up perfectly good, fun Christmas activities because they might require me to stand in the cold for an extended period of time (how this happened, I’ll never know).
But my love for Canada Goose goes way beyond the fact that they may just be responsible for making me love winter again…
A gorgeous purse and a set of beautiful notebooks to jot everything down inside? Sign me up. I’m such a sucker for both.
Today Sibylle is giving away a party pack from Erin’s beautiful new shop Grandiflora! Happy day twenty-two!
Just a few more days!
My first day of almost two weeks off. I still have so much to do to catch up, but for now I think I’ll just sit back and savor the time to relax. Finally, after such a busy time at work and home, I have a little chunk of time to breathe.
What are your plans for these last few days before Christmas? Have you finished your shopping? (We still have a few more things to pick up…)
Eye this house – and then help me figure out a way to move in.
Buy this fantastic coat.
Make wood veneer confetti and gift tag flags.
Bake indoor s’mores (genius).
These have to be made.
Just in case you didn’t see Jon Stewart’s tribute to John Oliver on his last day, it’s kind of amazing (and really touching).
Ohh this table. We need to build ourselves a new table.
Okay you guys, we’re in the home stretch! And we have another amazing giveaway — $500 worth of gorgeous Mud Australia dishes are up for grabs!
Last night Mark and I hopped on our (fantastically decorated, thanks to Mark) bikes for a little ride around the neighborhoods of downtown Frederick.
On it, I learned that even when you think you’ve seen the biggest inflatable holiday decor ever made, out there somewhere there’s a guy with a Santa twice as big as his house.
… oh, and Santa’s workshop is alive and well on someone’s porch.
Some people really like Christmas.
Can somebody win this one for me please? Because it’s pretty great. Today Lexy is giving away a gorgeous Son of A Sailor Necklace from Amelia AND a Walnut Animal Society Doll of your choice. Something for mom and baby (or just mom if baby happens to be way more into the toys of the superhero and Skylander variety these days.
… I totally want the fox with the Pendleton bow tie, just so you know).
These might not be the best gingersnaps in the world. The truth is I can’t really say. I’m as biased as they come.
I’m biased because growing up, my grandma always (ALWAYS) kept a batch of these in her freezer, and every time I’d come over (which was all the time… I could walk to my grandparents’ house from my own) I’d sneak into the container for a cookie… and I tell you, to this day I’m not even the biggest fan of the gingersnap in theory… but you put that guy in the freezer for a while and I’m sold.
Even now, making this recipe from a worn out old handwritten card I inherited when my grandma passed away, it’s all I can do not to think about how great those fresh out of the oven cookies would be with some ice cream. They just have to be cold.
That is, when I’m not thinking about the person who wrote that card…
Life, love, and the little things… one thread at a time.
