Monthly Mood: December

We're loving

All things warm and cozy! Ashley is loving holiday flavored coffee from Starbucks. Plaid everything. Crisp whites and cozy knits. Dresses and boots. Love Actually & Elf. We're not loving that all our shows are on mid season breaks but its nice to have a break from TV  and have extra time to watch our favorite holiday movies. For Ashley it's Love Actually and Kira loves Elf!

We're doing

We have a lot of holiday fun going on this month, we're hosting a cookie decorating party with some of our close girl friends. There is lots of holiday shopping and cooking to be done as well as some fun holiday parties to attend! Kira is looking forward to going to an Ugly Sweater Party that benefits Toys 4 Tots.

We're blogging

 We are all about the holidays this month on the blog! We will give you advice on what to wear to different holiday events; work party, Christmas morning, New Year's. We will have some fun posts about our cookie decorating party - and how you can host your own. Some DIY's include crafty gift wrapping and super easy to make ornaments. Stay tuned for the end of the month when we discuss our hopes and goals for 2015!

Winter Wonderland!

Happy winter! I have been so so so excited for all of the joys that this fabulous season brings, sights, smells, lights, friends, family, you name it- I love it! Similar to this post about my love of fall, I decided to put together a list of things I want to do to celebrate winter!

1. Spend a night walking around the neighborhood to see Christmas lights.

2. Have a fabulous New Years Eve, maybe wear this uh-mazing dress!

3. Host a girls night in and watch chick-flicks for Valentines Day

4. Make a snowman.

5. Go to a cabin and relax by the fire with family.

6. Decorate cookies to give to neighbors for the holidays.

7. Try not to fall while ice skating.

8. Indulge in peppermint lattes.

9. Donate to Toys for Tots, food bank, or another local charity.

10. Keep my New Years Resolutions (at least until the end of February)

What is on your winter to-do list?
