music monday: belated

Once upon a time, I spent an entire afternoon creating the perfect Christmas Winter Playlist for this week’s Music Monday.

my christmas

I don’t know about you, but this Christmas has seemed better than usual, extra Christmasy somehow. It might have been all the snow or being a little extra prepared.  I’m not sure why but it’s seemed more happy and peaceful. I hope yours was wonderful! I was one of the first ones up on Christmas.

dreaming of a white christmas

I’m still waiting for the snow to start, but with all the coming and going that Christmas Eve brings at my parents house, it’s probably just as well that the flakes are holing off. For now. I still have my fingers crossed that I’ll wake up tomorrow to presents and good food, yes, but mostly [...]

I loved seeing all my Twitter friends posting photos of their favorite Christmas gifts. I kept checking in Christmas day to see who was rejoicing over what. This year my hands-down-best-gift-ever was the adorable Fuji Instax mini (and tons of film!) that Joel gave me.  It’s so cute! What was your favorite gift?  Did you get [...]

All You Need Is Love…

Hey there! I’m Alli and I’ve been asked by our wonderful Jessica to do a little guest blog on here about what I want for Christmas. I thought and thought about the topic and how I wanted to go about it, and it struck me. All I’ve heard for weeks now is, “Where’s your Christmas [...]

I’m not sure if I should call it a tradition or a joke, but this time of year we constantly receive Starbucks Christmas tree ornaments.  It’s gotten to the point that I think we could decorate our tree using only Starbucks related baubles if we wanted too.  So in the spirit of a little Christmas [...]
