Christmas Eve

As I sat here looking for inspiration for today's blog post, I decided to look back at a few posts that I wrote last year around the holidays. It is so interesting to think about how many things have changed in the last 365 days. I found this post from last Christmas Eve and was thrilled to see how much my blog has evolved and grown since this day last year. 

I am looking forward to spending Christmas at home this year, with my family, and continuing traditions from when I was a little girl. So much of that has been missed these past few Christmases while I was celebrating in Michigan. It is going to be so nice to wake up tomorrow morning and spend the day with close family and friends. If you are looking for some last minute ideas on what to wear this Christmas morning, check out last week's collection here.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Christmas Eve Eve

With less than 48 hours until the big day (ahem, Christmas) I am making sure to get all my last minute errands in today in hopes of avoiding all grocery stores, malls, etc. tomorrow. While all of my big gifts are purchased, I am sure a few things will pop up that I will have to run out and buy before wrapping and cooking commences. Once every thing is settled I plan on watching endless amounts of Christmas movies and spending a lot of quality time with my family.

Counting Down the Days

I am anxiously awaiting Christmas this year and have found myself counting down the days like I did when I was eight. I have candy canes, hot chocolate and gift giving on my mind and cannot wait for the next week to fly by so I can start my long-awaited holiday at home. I have not been home for Christmas since 2010 and am so excited to see my family over this snowy holiday this year. 

I actually just began my Christmas shopping this past weekend and am still trying to find the perfect gift for everyone on my list. I have two down and the rest to go-- but shopping for others is always so much fun that I tend to drag out the process longer than necessary. Hopefully I can have everything purchased/ ordered before I head home early next week.

Hope you had a great weekend!
