Oh my goodness. CHRISTMAS IS IN ONE WEEK.
I’m so happy and so sad all at the same time.
If I could listen to Christmas music year around…I would. #noshame
Today is c-razy around here. It’s the kids’ last day of school, they each have big parties, my in-laws arrive to celebrate Christmas, and this weekend is consumed with dance recital stuff. #someonehandmeeggnog
I’m soaking up each and every moment because I’m going to blink and it will be over. I just love this time of year.
Happy Friday!
Ahhhhh! My Christmas card post from yesterday was one of my favorites this week! I’m so thankful to be a family of five this Christmas.
On Tuesday, I shared all of my favorite sparkly things and this trio of glosses were a big hit…that unfortunately sold out first thing in the morning…
…but have no fear! You can still find other Bobbi Brown Shimmer Glosses here (there are 12 shades). I just love these! They’re not sticky at all and have just a tiny bit of shimmer. Right now, these glosses are also being price matched :).
These glitter fleck scarves were also a favorite this week…not only are they really cute, but they’re 40% off. Amen.
They come in 7 different colors…which color to pick?!? They’re all so cute!
On Wednesday after school, we played at the park and then had hot cocoa. I posted this pic on Instagram and several of you asked about our mugs…
…you can see them better in this pic above. I bought these mugs last Christmas but they have them again this year too. Both the big and small mugs can be found here. Right now, most of the holiday stuff is on sale at Pottery Barn, so it’s a great time to stock up for next year!
Okay, so raise your hand if you’ve ever heard of this movie…
Growing up, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers was a movie we played on repeat all year long. My family loves this cheesy/silly/ridiculous musical movie…and on Wednesday night, we showed it to our kiddos and they LOVED it too! If your kids like musicals (The Sound of Music, White Christmas), then I’m going to go ahead and predict they’ll like this movie. One of my favorites this week was watching Smith and Ashby dance to “Goin’ Courtin'”. If you’ve seen the movie, then you understand that sentence ;).
So, awhile back, I bought these Sorel boots when they were being price matched. Andrew and I are always considering a snowy weekend getaway, so I thought I better snatch up a pair while they were on sale. And right now, they’re being price matched again! My particular color isn’t available (because mine aren’t current), but my style is and they’re super comfy!

Hi Shay, I have three daughters around your age who also love musicals. Their favorite is Meet Me In St Louis with Judy Garland. They loved it when they were young and we still try to have a girls night every Christmas to watch it together. Check it out! Merry Christmas!

Shay! I love Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, but I was pretty sure I was the only one. It's just so fun to watch! In fact, I am giving it as part of a gift to a friend this Christmas. Anyway, just one more reason I love you and continue to read your blog religiously! You are my favorite! (In a non-creepy sort of way, haha!)

My little brother loved that movie so much my parents told him they would buy it for him when he was potty trained. It worked!

My family LOVES Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. About 10 years ago we saw it live at Fair Park. I love that your family loves it too!!
Aubrey says
Between the Carpenters and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, I think we were raised by the same parents. That film was a favorite in my house too and now I can't wait to watch it with my girls!
