Ok, so I thought I wouldn’t be here today with a post after the loooooong week we’ve had with Little A, but she was so good for me yesterday that I actually had time to read some blogs and write this post. Yay for nap time!
Linking up with Amanda, Karli and the ladies at 5 on Friday!
1. By far my favorite Christmas card of ours ever.
2. Pamela shared this sweater on her blog on Wednesday (you can see the post HERE and how flipping adorable she is!) and I about DIED! I mean, I love me some leopard, and I’m usually a “less is more” girl when it comes to animal print, but this sweater is FABULOUS. Love. (Hint, hint Huebie!)
3. It’s the last weekend before Christmas, so we’re going to take Little A to zoo lights. There are 2 zoos in the Seattle area (one in Seattle and one in Tacoma) and we live about half way between them both. I happen to think that the zoo in Tacoma does a much better job at zoo lights than the zoo in Seattle. So that’s where we’ll be headed. Last year baby girl and I rode a camel. We’ll see what wild and crazy adventures we get into this year.
4. My friend Jessica at Pig & Dac wrote an awesome post about preparing your blog for the new year. Great compilation of things to get ready for 2015.
Side note: Jessica also had a post published in the Huffington Post as a feature recently! You can read her post HERE.
5. I feel like I should have some words of wisdom or something for you as we enter the weekend before Christmas. I guess if you haven’t finished (or even started) your shopping yet, God bless you. If you’re done, enjoy this weekend, relax, drink some hot cocoa, spend time with your family.
Oh, I know! I’ll share with you what we’re going to be eating next week! I’m thinking I’ll make my Baked Blueberry French Toast on Christmas morning possibly. And in the afternoon I think we’ll make cookies. We don’t have to travel so that makes me a happy camper!
Have a great weekend friends!
The facial expressions on your daughter and hubby are the best – love the card!! Thanks on that link on how to prep my blog for 2015 – can’t wait to read it!! Hope you have a great weekend girl!! xo, Biana – BlovedBoston

I absolutely ADORE your Christmas card! It’s awesome! That Little A is such a doll.
I can’t believe Christmas is so close! Unbelievable!
I’m so excited (and proud of) Jessica – how awesome to get published with Huffington Post.
I’m done my shopping. I have some gifts to wrap and some Christmas movies to watch (I haven’t watched Love Actually yet this year! *gasp*)
Thanks for sharing.
Wishing you a lovely weekend.
xoxo
So glad you like the card. It’s definitely a favorite of mine.
I won’t type anymore. You need to be spending your time watching Love Actually not reading my comments. 🙂
Have a wonderful weekend my dear!

Your Christmas card is the cutest! That leopard sweater is totally you- I think it definitely needs to make its way into your closet 🙂 I hope you guys have fun at the Zoo Lights this weekend- I am going to check out that blogging article next, I definitely need some motivation/inspiration to get back in my blogging grove for the new year!
Thanks Carly. And yes, that sweater 100% needs to be in my closet.
I for sure need some motivation for 2015 and there were some really good things Jessica compiled.
Hope you’re having a great weekend!
Aw thank you for the mention and your super kind words!! I’m totally behind in my blog reading too, tis the season I guess! That card is the best! You are so awesome at coordinating colors! My card was a smorgasbord of mismatched everything lol. I have GOT to make that blueberry french toast, holy cow it looks decadent!
You are so welcome! It is a much deserved mention. I loved your card! Don’t downplay it. Those cute boys make any card look super cute!
The blueberry french toast is the BOMB. Definitely make it.
I’ve been hearing of so many different bloggers getting featured on the Huffington post. Sounds like a great opportunity. 🙂 Your family photo is so sweet. You guys photography really nicely. 🙂
