Apples to Apples

This is my new favorite game, the family played this on the night of Christmas Day and it was literally hours of fun!!

Fascinating ...

how a hamburger can bring cultures together.

Method

I am so in love with this entire line for your home and body for so many reasons ... good for people/enviroment, tons of amazing scents, incredible packaging and design etc. I highly recommend you check them out since they can be found anywhere from Big Lots to Target.

Favorite Things: The Nutcracker

I have always wanted to see a live performance of The Nutcracker done by a professional ballet company and accompanied by a real orchestra; ideally The Atlanta Ballet @ The Fox Theatre. I will be getting a bit closer to acheiving this goal on Friday, while watching this ...

Catalogs

I love catalogs especially those rare few who have such incredible photography and styling that you pour over them like a good magazine. These three catalogs fit into such a category ... JCrew, TOAST and Anthropologie.

Hayden-Harnett for Target

I'm absolutely, positively in love with these items from the new Hayden-Harnett for Target collection which debuts on December 28th. If they are as gorgeous in person as in the photos then I will definitely be getting one or two.

Wish List No. 3

Gift Cards. Even though they are not always the most exciting to open they are the perfect gift, because who doesn't love having money to spend at a favorite place on whatever you like.

Favorite Things: Christmas Movies

I love to watch the "classics" from my childhood during the holidays and these are some that we viewed every year. My most favorite would have to be "A Christmas Story" since my brother and I have watched this movie so much growing up we can quote the entire movie (seriously).

Wish List No. 2

Netflix is the gift of movies ... create a list of movies to watch, quick delivery (1-2 business days), no due dates, no cost shipping or returns and you never have to leave home. You can choose from many different plans, making a gift subscription the perfect present.

Oh Carbs

THIS looks so freakin' delicious and perfect for a brunch, so you can eat without guilt since you are combining two meals into one.

Favorite Things : Christmas Music

I love Christmas Music during the holidays and every year try to find a new Christmas album to add to the collection ... this year I really want the soundtrack to ELF

Wish List No. 1

Baggu Bags ... make the holiday a little more green with these reusable shopping bags. They are made from sturdy ripstop nylon that will help carry loads of everything from groceries to books and more, plus they come in 48 different colors.

Favorite Things: 25 Days of Christmas

ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas begins tonight; it has become a tradition to watch the classic claymation movies they feature and check out some of the new holiday films they create each year. You can find out what is playing when by checking out the schedule here.
