Hello friends,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

I can´t believe it´s only the first week of December and we already got our Christmas cards printed and ready to send out. How in the world did this happen while chasing a busy toddler!!!

This is the fifth year in a row we have ordered our Christmas cards from kartenmacherei – an online shop where you can choose from the pretttiest designs. They started with a few and now have tons of different ones to offer. 

Our card is called Festive Forest and it has the prettiest gold sparkles all over. We added three pictures, one big at the front and two inside which is totally enough but always hard to pick from.

I went with a forest theme this year as our pictures where taken in October and there are leaves and Fall everywhere around us. Next year I am going to try and get some snow in the pics. We´ll see how this turns out.

Emilia´s Whimsical Christmas Tree…

….

I couldn´t feel more joy than looking at Emilia´s little pink Christmas tree. These are the things I have been waiting to experience with my daughter and it is so fun. 

To be honest I did not want to get her a tree this year since I thought she would be too young to understand but you can clearly see how much she loves it and she definitely knows that it´s her because she calls our big tree Mama´s tree.

A pink tree was never on my radar but in my opinion it turned out perfect. The pink, white and clear ornaments are the cutest and the bows and poinsettias round-up the whole theme. I went with a whimsical fairy swan and glitter theme and even my husband thinks it is beautiful.

He has to look at all the ornaments with Emilia every night and I just stand in the door and watch and it is the cutest. I have a good feeling that this Christmas could be even better than the last one.

Stocking Stuffer / Inexpensive andThoughtful Little Gifts…

….

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

Christmas time can be very expensive. All the decorations, the social gatherings, the gifts to get, the parties/dinners to throw/attend and of course the perfect outfits for the holidays. It can get overwhelming really fast and pretty bad for our bank account but to be honest it doesn´t always have to be the biggest, most expensive item. Sometimes the little things are all a special person in your life needs. 

Thoughtful little gifts with a well known background for the receiver will have such a sentimental value you can not make up with money. Like a restock on your co-workers favorite hand lotion, or a pack of fancy socks for your gym partner who always wears mixed up socks. You get what I am saying right!!

 

Stocking Stuffers for Her:

Key Ring – for the mom who always has her hands full

Leopard Print Notebook – for you friend who loves to scribble or wants to write down ideas during the day

S´Well Water Bottle – for the co-worker who always forgets to bring water, but with this cute bottle …

Cute Jade Earrings – for the girl who loves some color in her life

Pom Pom Beanie – for a teenager that loves pink

Plush Slippers – for your friend who always has cold feet, these are super warm

Burt´s Bees Balm Jar – for the girl that loves a light tinted lip that includes moisturizer

Luxurious Hand Balm – for the gal that loves to add a touch of luxury to her day

Funny Socks – for the girl in your life who always wears mismatched socks

 

These are all cute affordable and thoughtful things. I mean there are hundreds out there but you might get the hang of what I mean right?!

Foggy Fall Picnic…

Who doesn´t love a picnic with lot´s of delicious things to eat and drink ??? And let me tell you something, it is definitely not restricted to Summer nor the weather. 

We had a short but sweet little picnic in the midst of a foggy morning and it definitely had its charm. I mean how cool does the fog look in the back of the picture.

If you want to do anything outside this time of the year warm clothing is the key or living in Florida would be another great possibility 😉

My favorite shoes for icey weather always have been and always will be UGG boots. I know opinions differ a lot about them but they are the only pair that keep my feet warm. 

Are you still trying to do as much outside stuff as the weather gets colder or are you and inside gal?
