I would never have been able to imagine that I could love Christmas any more than I did when I was growing up, but seeing it through the eyes of my babies just makes it SO much more fun!This year we bought a new white tree for the girl's room and picked out all the ornaments together. Both my girls are naturally drawn to pink (they get it honest) so it was pretty easy to stick with the pink and sparkly theme. Their little tree is in the perfect spot for bedtime stories, also referred to as "reading Rudolph for the millionth time".I have a tendency to go overboard with decor (and all the things) so it was an exercise in restraint to just do a bit in their room.They love their little space and I'm sure it's going to be quite tricky to try to ever take this tree down! Maybe it'll be a Valentine tree ;-)A few resources for ya![showshopthepostwidget id="2191331"] As promised, a few of my picks from the Pottery Barn Kids Cyber Week Sale. Shwew. That's a mouthful.[showboutiquewidget id="507723"]
Men's Gift Guide
I'm doing most of my shopping for Matt online this year so Cyber Monday is gonna be my time to shine. I've finally convinced him to give me a very detailed list because he is SO difficult to shop for! Here are a few things I've got my eye on for him this year:[showboutiquewidget id="504427"] Amazon Echo - Currently $40 off + free shipping! Matt has had his eye on this for a while now. It's super convenient for those among us who love effortlessly tossing commands and getting results. HA! But really though, it's awesome to have around for convenience sake.Nike Running Shorts - My sweet man is a brand snob. He'd hate to admit that. But really there's nothing better than Nike when it comes to athletic wear. We try to be outside a lot and love being active so I try to throw away the tattered and worn out shorts of his and replace them as frequently as I can.Tim Tebow's Book - Matt read Tim's first book and loved it. He said it was very inspirational! So this one will hopefully be too!Vest - For some reason committing to wear an actual coat is kind of a pain for some men. Matt would prefer to thrown on a warm vest so he can feel a little less restrained in a big bulky jacket. This one is currently 40% off!Work Boots - Like I said before, Matt LOVES being outside. As he's started feeling better, he's started taking on more projects around the house. So naturally he needs an awesome pair of work boots. These are the ones recommended by the MAN himself, Chip Carter Gaines. What Chip says GOES, y'all.Overnight Bag - We have started traveling a bit more with Matt's company so I was thinking it was time for a bit of an upgrade to his toiletry bag. I loved this one from Land's End because of how it folds up.Apple Watch - FINALLY Matt got an I phone this weekend! #praisehands Now he's really considering trading out his fit bit for a more one and done watch. I like the sleek design and he likes the function of having everything he needs in one place.House Shoes - This is a staple gift I like to buy each year. These are a part of the 50% off sale and just look so durable and sooooo comfy. The perfect combo in a house shoe! 40% off right now! I hope this helps to serve is a bit of a guide as you're shopping for the men in your life.

Christmas Home Tour
Thank you so much for stopping by our little white house for our Christmas Home Tour.I always have a blast getting my house decorated for Christmas, but this year was extra fun since we did some renovations at the beginning of the year. It kind of felt like decorating a whole new house. In a way, this brought a new set of challenges. Most of my decor has been around for years so a lot of it didn't work with our new color scheme.But the winter white, the sparkle, and the neutrals were really speaking my language this year. So the timing of needing to switch things out came at just the right moment!Most everything I used is linked by room at the bottom of the post.All pictures are by my insanely talented friend Megan Wallach.Welcome, y'all!

The Little Girl Gift Guide
I'm so excited to share some of my favorite picks for the little love in your life.Whether you're shopping for a niece, little sister, daughter, or granddaughter, I have rounded up some of our current favorite things in our house as well as some of the things on the top of my girls' Christmas list this year.My girls LOVE their play kitchen! We got it for them last year for Christmas and Reese was immediately interested, while Rowen has just now started paying attention to it. So I'd say if your babe is walking, they're ready for a kitchen!Reese has been asking for this doll house for weeks. Her imaginative play is off the charts right now so she is going to flip when she sees this one on Christmas morning. This set also includes the accessories so it will come with all you need to play right away!There's a store at the outlet mall near our house that has a little play area in the middle of the store so mom can shop while the kiddos entertain themselves. Bless it. That's the first time we saw this ice cream set and the girls couldn't get enough.If you follow me on instagram, you know how we feel about Hunter rain boots. Reese got her first pair on her 2nd birthday and we've been hooked ever since. These are play shoes, church shoes, and everyday shoes. We wear them all. the. time. They hold up beautifully and always add a little flair to their outfits. Also, they are the easiest shoes we own to get on and off so it's great practice!I have to hold back on going overboard in the book department. I looooooove books! The Favorite Dress book is just precious. It's especially wonderful because all three of us enjoy it. Also, it looks so pretty displayed on their book shelf.My girls are constantly coming into the kitchen asking to "help" me. I'm excited for each of them to have their own little apron not just to play in their little kitchen, but also when they're really cooking with mommy. These from Pottery Barn are perfect since you can get them monogrammed. Talk about avoiding future scuffles over what belongs to who.This little tea set from Pottery Barn is dreamy! Since I just can't bring myself to invest in a breakable tea set and I really hate the plastic kind, this metal ballerina set is just perfection. Pottery Barn knows what their doing, y'all.All my picks are linked or you can also click on the picture below.Tea Set || Apron || Ice Cream Set || Wooden Camera || Doll House || Play Kitchen || Favorite Dress Book || Hunter Boots || Madeline Pajama Set ||[showshopthepostwidget id="2131915"] Happy Shopping, y'all!
