Holiday Gift Ideas #8 ~ These Are The Days Of Our Lives...

I think it is so important to write every single day (thus why I have a blog) to release whatever is on your mind, or how you are feeling. However, sometimes just staring at the pages and not knowing what to write down can be super frustrating. Which is why these Keel's Simple Diary would make an awesome gift for ANYONE! Boys, Girls, Sister, Brother, Co-Worker, etc....

The Keel's Simple Diary has prompts ready and you just answer the questions posed. Perfect for getting out your feelings, and really pondering your day even if only for five minutes. I love, love, love it. Personal, thoughtful and affordable has never been so easy!

Song Of The Week: Baby, It's Cold Outside



I have always loved this little ditty and the variety of artists that have covered it. From Dean Martin, to Jessica Simpson's duet with then husband Nick (sad face), I just love them all. But if I had to choose my absolute favorite, I think I would have to go with Rod Stewart's duet with Dolly. Cute, fun and totally lovable!

This GAP ad from last year(am I the only one the missed this) is equally adorable and perfect for an afternoon smile. Baby, it's cold outside....

Holiday Gift Ideas #7 ~ Jim Jams

To me pajamas (jim jams as my roomie calls them) and Christmas go hand in hand. Growing up we were always allowed to open one present on Christmas Eve and that one present was ALWAYS PJ's to sleep in that evening and wake up to open presents in. It was a cute tradition and it is something I think I will pass along once I have a family of my own.

Below are some great Forever Frugal Friday PJ's that are just too good to pass up!

The classic, can't go wrong Plaid Flannel PJ Pant.

For the friend or sister in warmer climates, why not try the Plaid PJ Short Set.

These Striped PJ Pant are on my own personal wish list. Soft, cozy and reminiscent of my childhood.

The Polka Dot PJ Pant a innocent and sweet in pink.

For that naughty friend of yours, why not these racy Lace Print Boxy Shorts?

Holiday Gift Ideas #6 ~ Betty Crocker Style

For the friend who likes to get her Martha Stewart/Betty Crocker on, why not gift her a darling apron so she can look just as cute baking as her creations turn out?

I am loving the colors of this cute retro Chloe Rose Bouquet Full Apron.

Is it just me or do you totally want this Extra Ingredient Apron to be an actual dress? If the back wasn't totally open and exposed I would so sport this out for cocktails with the girls.

Love this retro Perfect Circle Hostess Apron.

I am a sucker for anything aqua and yellow, so this Stockholm Floral Apron immediately caught my eye (available in other colors as well).

The ultimate in girlie girl aprons, this Sugar Rush Ruffled Apron has me all giddy and wanting to bake something light and fluffy.

Baking in the kitchen has never been so stylish and affordable!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas.....


Makes me want to snuggle on the couch and watch Love Actually.

I heart marshmallows, and this display just makes me happy looking at it. I would love to sit in a chair in that window and just take a deep breath in.

Hoping your Thursday is starting off lovely!
