Best of Honey We're Home 2014 & Thank You

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />How are y'all doing now that Christmas is a few days behind us?  We're still moving slow and on "vacation" while my son is home from school this week.  But, we're starting to pick up steam and I'm sure by next week will be all ready for the cleaning and organizing that comes with the start of a new year.  I already pulled out my <a href="http://www.emilyley.com/collections/simplified-planners/products/2015-simplified-planner-navy-dot" target="_blank">2015 planner</a> and can't wait to get writing in it. <br><br /><br><br />I'm always amazed to look back at the end of the year to see what we've done and accomplished in the previous 12 months.  Of course, having a blog where you document much of your home life makes it easy to reflect and see what's happened along the way.  I did an analytics search to see which Honey We're Home blog posts were the most popular in terms of how many times the post was viewed and found the following Top 10:<br><br /><br><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">Top 10 Blog Posts of 2014 </span></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;"><br></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyG6bNfCTekBqaFyYf7o4fTmN7Dktd4q43OmkCs71tGhxVR2zWi3fZVLvkJEkXuYnsqehRbsBxjUmIMpHgp18sOffyLOb063ExZtHkDWOhUFEf0qhA4_OR5olZnobLL_fHp7IBUqDv5Gqx/s1600/Screenshot+2014-12-27+17.17.21.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyG6bNfCTekBqaFyYf7o4fTmN7Dktd4q43OmkCs71tGhxVR2zWi3fZVLvkJEkXuYnsqehRbsBxjUmIMpHgp18sOffyLOb063ExZtHkDWOhUFEf0qhA4_OR5olZnobLL_fHp7IBUqDv5Gqx/s1600/Screenshot+2014-12-27+17.17.21.png"></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br />1 |  <a href="http://honeywerehome.blogspot.com/2014/06/home-decor-progress-after-4-years.html">Home Decor Progress After 4 Years</a><br><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />This post shares all the early photos of our home from when we first moved in and our walls were bare to where we are now with drapes and rugs and grown-up furniture.  It's amazing to see how much we've done and how the once empty house has become home to our small family of three.  I've gotten more comfortable with my decorating style over the years, but find that I still question myself from time to time and sometimes make quick decorating decisions, and other times linger for months. <br><br /><br><br /><br><br /></div></div></div><a href="http://www.honeywerehome.com/2014/12/best-of-honey-were-home-2014-thank-you.html#more">Read more »</a>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Christmas this year has been a roller coaster, but <a href="http://instagram.com/p/xAuVYHyLRA/?modal=true" target="_blank">we are counting our blessings</a>.  An unexpected benefit was that my mom got to spend the night on Christmas Eve, so we were able to share the 4-year old joys of Christmas morning with her.   My son and mom adore each other so this was a special treat all around.  He actually climbed into her guest bed in the middle of the night, so when he tip-toed out of bed at 6:00 a.m. and peeked over the stair railing, she was the first to get to hear the giddy squeals, "I think Santa came!!!!"  </div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsrbDNk-ZVsvsFiLsmFfaqcyh_3Sss0TzARYdRpqF6yPQQLXzzWDmm2oaDFHaZD8hOmlumUWr8ok08lzzK1ZsS7pkDS2Ku-xn7EPUUqBAe4YAC1dUSZcHYKc_LG6KGfqXO-53SbCDMzO4S/s1600/Christmas+2014.6801.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsrbDNk-ZVsvsFiLsmFfaqcyh_3Sss0TzARYdRpqF6yPQQLXzzWDmm2oaDFHaZD8hOmlumUWr8ok08lzzK1ZsS7pkDS2Ku-xn7EPUUqBAe4YAC1dUSZcHYKc_LG6KGfqXO-53SbCDMzO4S/s1600/Christmas+2014.6801.jpg"></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></div><a href="http://www.honeywerehome.com/2014/12/weekend-steals-deals-after-christmas.html#more">Read more »</a>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />How are you doing friends?  Has this week been crazy for you too?  The last full week before Christmas has been jam packed over here with training workouts, classroom parties, karate finals, prepping for in-laws, cooking, cleaning, volunteer activities, and shopping!  Oh, the shopping.  As much as I love gift-giving (truly I do), so much buying all at once can be overwhelming.  And we're not even done yet!  Are you with me?  Are you done or do you have more to do?  I plan to finish up over the weekend so I can be done by Monday and really start relaxing!  And I better be, Christmas is next Thursday already!  Today is my son's last day of school until JANUARY 6 and we'll be going to church together this morning and then having a small party in his classroom.  This afternoon, the grandparents arrive and we're preparing a nice home-cooked meal for them tonight with other treats planned throughout the week.  <span style="color: #cc0000;">Let the festivities begin!</span></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">In lieu of this week's Weekend Steals & Deals post, I'd rather share some of the gorgeous Christmas decor I've been seeing all across blogland lately. </span>You're okay with a quick respite from shopping to look at pretty home pictures, right?! ;) It feels like, this year especially, there is so much creativity and simply beautiful Christmas home decor to be admired.  </div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />I gathered some of my favorites (no way to include them all!) from my blog reader.  Honestly, I had a hard time choosing just one picture to share from each blog.  Please visit the links if you like what you see- this is just a wee bit of their full posts!  There's so much more at the original blog and bloggers love you to visit them directly!  <span style="color: #cc0000;">I'm (still) so thankful for bloggers who open up their homes so that we get to peek in!  </span>I'll be sharing more of our Christmas decor with you on Monday. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixNZ4UKVGPhEnxCJqDnV2V5mw60lNfovc86TqKBmjGI4kDZfw8s9FQBbx-T3HuqREyr1hi0jgCVJgsmPV7QRfKNT3d4sDmWgv2bL3Mnleh-Orrn0oa3V63-fgIantSe5kon61KGWPzxsNw/s1600/Screenshot+2014-12-19+06.05.28.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixNZ4UKVGPhEnxCJqDnV2V5mw60lNfovc86TqKBmjGI4kDZfw8s9FQBbx-T3HuqREyr1hi0jgCVJgsmPV7QRfKNT3d4sDmWgv2bL3Mnleh-Orrn0oa3V63-fgIantSe5kon61KGWPzxsNw/s1600/Screenshot+2014-12-19+06.05.28.png"></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />Jen | <a href="http://withheart.com/featured/holiday-decor/" target="_blank">With Heart</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />Isn't Jen's living room so bright and festive!  Go for it with those big ornaments!</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><a href="http://www.honeywerehome.com/2014/12/christmas-decor-by-home-bloggers.html#more">Read more »</a>

Wardrobe Wednesday - Flats, Hats, Boots, and Scarves on Sale

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />As much as I'm a heels and wedges kind of girl, sometimes I just can't do it.  If I know I'm going to be doing a lot of running around, I'll wear flats and I always keep a pair in the car just in case.  I want to be comfortable and for my feet <i>not </i>to be killing me at the end of the day.  Until lately, the flats in my car were flip-flops, but it's too cold for that now.    </div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Today, I'm teaming up with <a href="http://bit.ly/1u4R3oX" target="_blank">Sole Society</a> to share some of their adorable flats with you, which, by the way, are <b>40% off right now</b>.  Their <b>boots are also 40% off and hats and scarves are 30% off </b>so you don't have to break the bank to look good.  You also don't have to sacrifice style for comfort. I remember working full-time and wanting to look nice, but putting on a pair of heels would be torture some days.  They would be slipped off under my desk as soon as I hit the chair.  I'd love to wear these to work or keep some comfy and cute flats at the office in case of emergency. :)  So many styles to choose from!  And all of these below are under $40.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc9yco7ew-B5r94__ewI5Vc_x2S_KUZFT0RemNUlt6Gn9CGiL5idRsLRsmXnucWvmXiEVTDEpG5sd1lffk8CWEzHmBtsiYgqC_DnaYyMNKzx1no7olDjWE3NGXdBq5H_AiKBH2kVXoB23l/s1600/Sole+Society+Stylish+Flats+Under+$40.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc9yco7ew-B5r94__ewI5Vc_x2S_KUZFT0RemNUlt6Gn9CGiL5idRsLRsmXnucWvmXiEVTDEpG5sd1lffk8CWEzHmBtsiYgqC_DnaYyMNKzx1no7olDjWE3NGXdBq5H_AiKBH2kVXoB23l/s1600/Sole+Society+Stylish+Flats+Under+$40.jpg"></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://bit.ly/1IYt6q3">1</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1GLnbkf">2</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1uTqcJs">3</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1wVDHyJ">4</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1uTqcJs">5</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1BUTmj5">6</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1uTqHmY">7</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1DG7XAC">8</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1wVDHyJ">9</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1DG7iPT">10</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1GLnbkf">11</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1IYt6q3">12</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1DG7iPT">13</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1wVD9J4">14 </a>| <a href="http://bit.ly/1wVD9J4">15</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1wVDrjm">16</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1xoFADM">17</a> </div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br></div><br /><div class="shopthepost-widget" data-widget-id="457384"><br /><script type="text/javascript">!function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ?

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />We'll be in 2015 before we know it, and I'm already needing a calendar to plan dates for next year.  I'm quite the calendar hog, often switching calendars mid-year because I can't stick to just one design!  I've rounded up 10 super-cute FREE printable calendars that you can download and print straight from your home computer.  Since they don't cost anything, feel free to change designs throughout the year, ;) </div><br /><div><br /><br /></div><br /><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk7D9_EMG5gBark36zEX2Bf3c7-3nBz9geLWV9m_NORx_y4aeX2E-AlH1PAVCb0L6pEAWBZE1ZG-xnjdbxrckjPXMS4y9fLu039Jc46CpZ7qD1aT_LNSQ__ujUhYD-CyA5-l7K3xjBbD_i/s1600/Free+2015+Printable+Calendars.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk7D9_EMG5gBark36zEX2Bf3c7-3nBz9geLWV9m_NORx_y4aeX2E-AlH1PAVCb0L6pEAWBZE1ZG-xnjdbxrckjPXMS4y9fLu039Jc46CpZ7qD1aT_LNSQ__ujUhYD-CyA5-l7K3xjBbD_i/s1600/Free+2015+Printable+Calendars.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />1 | <a href="http://misstiina.com/blog/live-free-love-life-2015-calendars-free-printables/" target="_blank">Miss Tiina</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />2 | <a href="http://todayscreativeblog.net/free-printable-2015-calendar/" target="_blank">Today's Creative Blog</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />3 | <a href="http://creativemamma.com/free-printable-2015-mini-calendar/" target="_blank">Creative Mamma</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />4 | <a href="http://www.imom.com/printable/crafty-2015-printable-calendar/" target="_blank">iMom</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />5 | <a href="http://www.iheartnaptime.net/2015-free-printable-calendar/" target="_blank">I Heart Naptime</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />6 | B<a href="http://www.botanicalpaperworks.com/blog/read,article/564/free-printable-2015-monthly-calendar" target="_blank">otanical Paperworks</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />7 | <a href="http://creativemamma.com/2015-doodle-write-in-calendar/" target="_blank">Creative Mamma</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />8 | <a href="http://misstiina.com/blog/goto/printables/" target="_blank">Mis Tiina</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />9 | <a href="http://www.sugardoodle.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=111266" target="_blank">Motherhood Trade via Sugar Doodle</a> </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />10 | <a href="http://www.thehandmadehome.net/2014/06/free-planner-and-calendar-more-2015/" target="_blank">The Handmade Home</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />I'm still on the hunt for a few more designs, if you know of a pretty (free) 2015 calendar download, please let me know so I can feature it in a future post.  I'd like to spread the word since these designers are so talented and it helps highlight their work.  </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />To see how <a href="http://honeywerehome.blogspot.com/2014/06/our-summer-schedule-useful-calendars.html" target="_blank">I use calendars to organize my life, check out this post</a>.  </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />__________</div><br /><br /></div><br />

Snowflake Christmas Decor

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Decorating our home for the holidays is something I really enjoy, but it also often unfolds rather slowly.  This year, we've gotten the <a href="http://honeywerehome.blogspot.com/2014/12/holiday-decor-our-christmas-tree.html" target="_blank">Christmas tree</a> up and lighted garland on the stairs, along with some decorative touches in the kitchen.  James has a little tree in his room too.  Last week, we got our dining room holiday ready with reindeers, glittery snowflakes, and faux snow.  Did you get a sneak peek on my <a href="http://instagram.com/honeywerehome/">Instagram</a>?  I always want to show things as soon as they are created (or while in progress), but then it took me until Sunday night to finish the post.  It's a wonder I can hold on to any Christmas gifts until Christmas- I want to give the gifts as soon as I buy them!  </div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlxP2DsmcynB4DWREoyV8OIWNa01r8_LQkBbXoSzTuhk9ck-MiDnfGNAlMlCGjjMTaFpvRsDlDp1tpTvLEZD7q9GnCOXNxNf8qOotMykNEZ2uAFHQGBxt_Y00ZLTLDEj357yhOaDjo9cAD/s1600/Christmas+Decor+Snowflakes.1343.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlxP2DsmcynB4DWREoyV8OIWNa01r8_LQkBbXoSzTuhk9ck-MiDnfGNAlMlCGjjMTaFpvRsDlDp1tpTvLEZD7q9GnCOXNxNf8qOotMykNEZ2uAFHQGBxt_Y00ZLTLDEj357yhOaDjo9cAD/s1600/Christmas+Decor+Snowflakes.1343.jpg"></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglZEdqG6rFwDo8ycothzP0rtJ8N_0cJ7hrnLJzIalhqa5r6xM-uTo9VIciHgT21ZkRNWdrKLuLFMZX2r0-U3Az_6SqjmbDA3uJXsMi-Vm4G2TSzF0riWwrprFafX3sR1bjBTx8IHP5c-YL/s1600/Christmas+Decor+Snowflakes.1346.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglZEdqG6rFwDo8ycothzP0rtJ8N_0cJ7hrnLJzIalhqa5r6xM-uTo9VIciHgT21ZkRNWdrKLuLFMZX2r0-U3Az_6SqjmbDA3uJXsMi-Vm4G2TSzF0riWwrprFafX3sR1bjBTx8IHP5c-YL/s1600/Christmas+Decor+Snowflakes.1346.jpg"></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><a href="http://www.honeywerehome.com/2014/12/snowflake-christmas-decor.html#more">Read more »</a>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Happy weekend friends!  I'm moving a little slow today because the Usher concert did not disappoint!  Seriously, that man can dance and he had the whole crowd on their feet and gettin' down.     I'm gonna need a nap later! But first, we're off to a winter festival event in our neighborhood.  They're supposed to have real snow and pictures with Santa, a bounce house, etc.  It's also a food drive, so it supports a good cause.  Fun holiday times!<br /><br /><br /><br />Are you doing any holiday shopping this weekend?  Clothes, accessories and girlie things like makeup and beauty products might not work for everyone on your gift list, so I rounded up a Holiday Gift Guide of other delightful things for your friends, family, neighbors and coworkers - all under $30!  I'm especially fond of the <a href="http://bit.ly/1G1gNH2">Moscow Mule mug</a>, <a href="http://bit.ly/1G1hTm6">sweater flask</a>, and <a href="http://bit.ly/12vs5Ei">chalk base wine glasses</a> (set of 4 for $21).  Oh, and of course the <a href="http://bit.ly/1G1ieVZ">apron</a>, because we can all agree that Christmas calories don't count. ;) <a href="http://bit.ly/12MOVbB">#12</a> might need to come to my house! </div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQE0o_J6V9e_clBp7mNksvaxSbPwHPgOPdt8WCbiWaS5833sLCipkM80q23IU6a7w9ry859B4CO4_l7pReuGibvLA4JVIgAKqD5mKbj0u2kyghuVx_JSE-xAgRI0aoSgXx3gQvMCNMepcC/s1600/Holiday+Gift+Guide+Under+$30.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQE0o_J6V9e_clBp7mNksvaxSbPwHPgOPdt8WCbiWaS5833sLCipkM80q23IU6a7w9ry859B4CO4_l7pReuGibvLA4JVIgAKqD5mKbj0u2kyghuVx_JSE-xAgRI0aoSgXx3gQvMCNMepcC/s1600/Holiday+Gift+Guide+Under+$30.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://bit.ly/1w6tdft">1 </a>| <a href="http://bit.ly/1G1hTm6">2</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1s5iGdm">3</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1G1gNH2">4</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1w0p4YL">5</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1q3jO5D">6</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1yUH5r6">7</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1u3QLKM">8</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1w0kLMR">9 </a>| <a href="http://bit.ly/1s5hjLN">10 </a>| <a href="http://bit.ly/1G1ieVZ">11</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/12MOVbB">12</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1w0l7mS">13</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/12vs5Ei">14</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />All of these items are available at Nordstrom in the quirky and fun <a href="http://bit.ly/1w0qjan">Wit & Wonder</a> shop.  Lots of goodies to explore there.  I adore this <a href="http://bit.ly/1u3RP16">"hey gorgeous" pillow</a> too, but it's $39, so it didn't make it into the Under $30 crowd.  ;) </div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="shopthepost-widget" data-widget-id="437195"><br /><script type="text/javascript">!function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ?

 For every 6 plastics you recycle, you can get 1 free lipstick.  I've been saving my MAC recycling for years, and amassed (gasp) 30 eyebrow pencils (I wear "<a href="http://bit.ly/1AsIS74">Fling</a>"), so I got these three lipsticks for free! :) If you're shy about wearing a red lip, try it with a pinky or rosy gloss on top to tone it down.  </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://bit.ly/1AsBgBu">Retro Matte Ruby Woo</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://bit.ly/1AsBgBu">Lady Bug</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://bit.ly/1AsBgBu">Brave Red</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOTXvrJxLSrAThwiRv3phgOaMqk8MhOLueYGl1ZPwXueXnGH3q28Y_iwgMP3bUlBt4yvyJDTIun4lh6f7z6YRTfEoxZbVoIlnzZNTnMp0Sraj6xFOkkwu-a6SFI_PXUgX7KFzE0_18g04A/s1600/holiday+red+lips+by+MAC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOTXvrJxLSrAThwiRv3phgOaMqk8MhOLueYGl1ZPwXueXnGH3q28Y_iwgMP3bUlBt4yvyJDTIun4lh6f7z6YRTfEoxZbVoIlnzZNTnMp0Sraj6xFOkkwu-a6SFI_PXUgX7KFzE0_18g04A/s1600/holiday+red+lips+by+MAC.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">handbags & wallets </span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />Now is a great time to pick up a bag or wallet (for yourself or a friend!).  All of these below have been marked down. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="shopthepost-widget" data-widget-id="435591"><br /><script type="text/javascript">!function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ?

Holiday Gift Guide - Kids Toys

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Ho, ho, ho Merry Christmas!  Have you have started shopping for kids' toys?  I have! And not just for my son, but for my nieces and nephews too, who range in age from 4 months to 11 years old.  In our extended family, we draw names for the adults we'll select gifts for, but all the kids are fair game and receive gifts from everyone. <br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://bit.ly/1tM8aYb">Nordstrom</a> asked me to take a look at their selection of kids' toys and I was impressed with the variety, selection and price.  I always think of Nordstrom first for clothes, shoes and accessories, so I had overlooked their toy department.  Their website makes it easy to search by <a href="http://bit.ly/1tM8vtT">toys for girls</a>, <a href="http://bit.ly/1Aftw5P">toys for boys</a>, <a href="http://bit.ly/12sYVqr">bestsellers</a>, <a href="http://bit.ly/1AftACn">parents' picks</a>, <a href="http://bit.ly/15ONiv8">Frozen</a>, <a href="http://bit.ly/1w1TBHr">under $25</a>, etc. <br /><br /><br /><br />After browsing through their toys, I picked out several things for the kids in my life, and loved the convenience of one-stop shopping.  I can choose gifts for my girlfriends and gifts for the kids from the comfort of my couch with fast and free shipping.  Nice!  The traffic seems like its getting worse lately, so I've been shopping almost exclusively online.  How about you? </div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmPC864KkODx9N888bF4pgX76Vyj9cb_SAGX0rcmHm7VQzKYYOXyt00K3QmOX1ZKXx9YTTeFPxEorJOF3Yf8_O3FA3XL0zjC1BEndQO52WyuTVzvvJo7pCQmYg7kt2jZ_jSv62sgpJSyE0/s1600/Holiday+Gift+Guide+Kids+Toys+-+boys+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmPC864KkODx9N888bF4pgX76Vyj9cb_SAGX0rcmHm7VQzKYYOXyt00K3QmOX1ZKXx9YTTeFPxEorJOF3Yf8_O3FA3XL0zjC1BEndQO52WyuTVzvvJo7pCQmYg7kt2jZ_jSv62sgpJSyE0/s1600/Holiday+Gift+Guide+Kids+Toys+-+boys+.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://bit.ly/11Kausk">1</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1uzBSmO">2</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1A8xz3M">3</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1uTYW19">4</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1tph0AA">5</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1yagtmX">6</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/11KcFfe">7</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1uzBjJP">8</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1yaepvg">9</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1qZ4yBZ">10</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1Cz2GdK">11</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/ZRJplT">12</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1rOYuMV">13</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1yagBD0">14 </a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb6-zwY0KekoMQEGfnb9lDCFfkJhuBd-h6umPC4Ra2XXvmYUUgL_TfZWHzg7ndYElJaA4lrtRy5YPZHI6C_w2zaK44sBUKeeg2J16TAAalf7gpbvwvI6gTa3DlJzoPFEaO_EttEed8w0FY/s1600/Holiday+Gift+Guide+Girls+Toys.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb6-zwY0KekoMQEGfnb9lDCFfkJhuBd-h6umPC4Ra2XXvmYUUgL_TfZWHzg7ndYElJaA4lrtRy5YPZHI6C_w2zaK44sBUKeeg2J16TAAalf7gpbvwvI6gTa3DlJzoPFEaO_EttEed8w0FY/s1600/Holiday+Gift+Guide+Girls+Toys.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://bit.ly/1w1QgYU">1</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1Afnd1T">2</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1viTJLD">3</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/11K9yE5">4</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1Cz1siG">5</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1yjW5Qf">6</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1viSufC">7</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1AfkWnq">8</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1zPE7DB">9</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1Aflb1Y">10</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1viUBjz">11</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Do you see anything the kids in your life would love?

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />Good morning!  We're back from a day spent with two families filled with food, food and more food.   And a sweet new nephew who's still got all his fresh new baby chub that you just want to devour.   The food was delicious (Barefoot Contessa's <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/sour-cream-coffee-cake-recipe.html">sour cream coffee cake</a> doesn't disappoint and this recipe for <a href="http://www.evilshenanigans.com/2012/03/creamy-chili-con-queso/">queso</a> turned out great as one of our appetizers).  My brother made the best omelets and my sis-n-law did all the heavy lifting for the big turkey dinner.  It's all so good, but I'm stuffed!  We'll have leftovers for days, which is okay in my book.  How was your day?  Did you end up in stretchy pants too?  I'll be wearing my comfy pajamas all day as I get started on my Christmas decorations.  :)</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />But, I know many of you will be partaking in the Black Friday holiday sales and let me tell you, there are some good deals to be had!  I wouldn't brave the crowds, but shopping from the comfort of my couch with a cup of coffee may be in my future.  I went online to check out the sales and picked out some of my favorite steals and deals this week.  I did a little shopping of my own last week and my two faves are this <a href="http://bit.ly/1xITZFy">faux fur infinity scarf</a> and the <a href="http://bit.ly/1AQ3OZH">beautiful tee</a> that is so soft and a perfect gift for your friend (or yourself;) </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDOZe_9TiRrCbVIh8kskAKxdu-l672PlaEvu_gKYiZZYilDcC2JCkfL43y6RGvKQMDa2Qz8MoWxOjVKrYkGYxmwZmhLMyWBfXExv5rKYCIydnlRGCKK3ELDacNNJqvdoGbhV9Pb03rHeji/s1600/Faux+Fur+Scarf+Honey+We're%2BHome.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDOZe_9TiRrCbVIh8kskAKxdu-l672PlaEvu_gKYiZZYilDcC2JCkfL43y6RGvKQMDa2Qz8MoWxOjVKrYkGYxmwZmhLMyWBfXExv5rKYCIydnlRGCKK3ELDacNNJqvdoGbhV9Pb03rHeji/s1600/Faux+Fur+Scarf+Honey+We're%2BHome.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://bit.ly/1xITZFy">faux fur infinity scarf </a>($20) | midi rings (similar <a href="http://bit.ly/11w7tLS">here</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/1HHjLlF">here</a>)</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGR6agMgAWjGJnA2-LzgrmFn53i3gyZbst8s0ivsk-C4PEZhyknOLNqcVC8otM_f-ghaIFJlXEvO1UDnhXx9WCdfR5xbiRqmvQq45UkjYnnJVg9gXHqxwS_7cf-IWffY0We-G2OT8Fo5By/s1600/beautiful+top+Honey+We're%2BHome%2Bdetail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGR6agMgAWjGJnA2-LzgrmFn53i3gyZbst8s0ivsk-C4PEZhyknOLNqcVC8otM_f-ghaIFJlXEvO1UDnhXx9WCdfR5xbiRqmvQq45UkjYnnJVg9gXHqxwS_7cf-IWffY0We-G2OT8Fo5By/s1600/beautiful+top+Honey+We're%2BHome%2Bdetail.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://bit.ly/1AQ3OZH">beautiful top</a> ($12.50, <strike>$25</strike>)</div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQlPLkFZ-YW6pQQ-ny8I6uvQF9WhpLTrmgt1O7aQCjC2CJ2o73VhQ74k9CzXmf1w7RUZ9SGMZuSw3eCFcqg4RDnqzlr58ol6EpEILFeRO1J0EnUMxY1dPJhFYrmcr6Ej1pJXA3G4Rkr6jm/s1600/Beautiful+top+Honey+We're%2BHome.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQlPLkFZ-YW6pQQ-ny8I6uvQF9WhpLTrmgt1O7aQCjC2CJ2o73VhQ74k9CzXmf1w7RUZ9SGMZuSw3eCFcqg4RDnqzlr58ol6EpEILFeRO1J0EnUMxY1dPJhFYrmcr6Ej1pJXA3G4Rkr6jm/s1600/Beautiful+top+Honey+We're%2BHome.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://bit.ly/1sppUYO">distressed jean</a> ($62) | <a href="http://bit.ly/1w7r7WW">bootie</a> ($99.90, <strike>$138.95</strike>)</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />Y'all know I love a striped shirt.  This one is a steal!

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Hi friends!  Are you getting all those last-minute Thanksgiving preparations done?  Today, I'm cooking up some dishes to take to Thanksgiving brunch at my parents (sour cream coffee cake) and a late lunch at my sis-n-law's house (jalepeno creamed corn, ham and cheese sliders, chile con queso).   I feel stretchy pants coming on.  :) Then, we need to get a new Christmas tree- I pulled ours out and after 7 years, it's finally seen it's last day. Hopefully, you get a little time off to spend with your friends and family and a break from work!  I've been home with my son this week, but last week was super busy. I don't dress up to go to an office anymore, but I still love fashion and I like to look pulled together (most days!).  It's been cold here, so I've been keeping warm with pants, vests, and scarves.  Here's a look at outfits lately.</div><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />For a casual running around day, I adore this <a href="http://bit.ly/1AQ2vtB">'lovebird' sweater</a>.  I got an xs, but if you got it a little on the roomier side, it would be cute to layer another top underneath. </div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: justify;"><br /><span style="text-align: start;">My camo pants are old from GAP, but you can find similar <a href="http://bit.ly/1qThMQJ">here</a>.  They are a perfect 'neutral' pant that you can wear so much with.  I'm still loving these flat, comfy <a href="http://bit.ly/110FSSR">tall grey boots</a>.  My chunky scarf is also old, here's one </span><a href="http://bit.ly/1uHIlgK" style="text-align: start;">similar</a>.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

And bonus, it's 40% off. The <a href="http://bit.ly/1ARmvH8">necklace</a> is Stella & Dot, but it's one of those necklaces you can wear multiple ways because there are different strands. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />I'm seriously in love with this <a href="http://bit.ly/14C2vPJ">faux fur vest</a> that my friend <a href="http://www.athoughtfulplaceblog.com/2014/10/saturday-shopping-faux-fur-vest.html">Courtney</a> told me about.  We are both on the petite side, although she's got about 7 inches on me.  I'm in an XS and she got the Medium.  I've worn it on a date night with a black and white striped top and again to a school function last week.  The <a href="http://bit.ly/1sppD8h">black pants</a> are the same that I wore with the mint vest- it's hard to tell but they have a stripe detail on the side that makes them a little more special.  They are a skinny pant, love them with <a href="http://bit.ly/1w7r7WW">booties</a>. </div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVyGTAimbWbe1Au675lZOeCmHAhRZgU-qJgCNKFwX5jI0yAECUp1XHkBU4JjfDkgancpx2wikMkM-ITHp_ZsGpQw_Nap75-xzXv6DWmt6Bi-5ZEj3pLOZrP80iMvPoxlkx0Lmh3PqT5pHN/s1600/Furry+Vest+Honey+We're%2BHome%2B1..jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVyGTAimbWbe1Au675lZOeCmHAhRZgU-qJgCNKFwX5jI0yAECUp1XHkBU4JjfDkgancpx2wikMkM-ITHp_ZsGpQw_Nap75-xzXv6DWmt6Bi-5ZEj3pLOZrP80iMvPoxlkx0Lmh3PqT5pHN/s1600/Furry+Vest+Honey+We're%2BHome%2B1..jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://bit.ly/1xA4f4C" style="text-align: start;">tie neck blouse</a><span style="text-align: start;"> | </span><a href="http://bit.ly/14C2vPJ" style="text-align: start;">furry vest</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1sppD8h">black pants</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />I didn't get a good shot of this blouse, but it's fantastic.  And also 40% off.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifwqMPutbg9UsACSTZ6wBIajnXVAdgviSeQluJQzNVsL_6MSsQEJlKynZI7hguX-dLKerdCjJpc_PfKuwWwVM6htrrI0AIxfBrt4L55Be8y1lRpZ6js9OteAJWF4y3MtF8ubCMb2-EUldk/s1600/Screenshot+2014-11-25+21.25.23.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifwqMPutbg9UsACSTZ6wBIajnXVAdgviSeQluJQzNVsL_6MSsQEJlKynZI7hguX-dLKerdCjJpc_PfKuwWwVM6htrrI0AIxfBrt4L55Be8y1lRpZ6js9OteAJWF4y3MtF8ubCMb2-EUldk/s1600/Screenshot+2014-11-25+21.25.23.png" width="595" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr7dKBEPOgXOYfXyyRaIlTGPCZ7CCfaySxAG1CBduX8-k_Z_v_AQy9tyaLkl6LnkIEqqQ7ExT8MQ4NV4Qjlo2mBTzE5ByYPuOUNp78fL0h5cvphGI-jPchUV1zDnEv6Fx_G8IhPzXDg0vw/s1600/Red+Top+and+Scarf+Honey+We're%2BHome.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr7dKBEPOgXOYfXyyRaIlTGPCZ7CCfaySxAG1CBduX8-k_Z_v_AQy9tyaLkl6LnkIEqqQ7ExT8MQ4NV4Qjlo2mBTzE5ByYPuOUNp78fL0h5cvphGI-jPchUV1zDnEv6Fx_G8IhPzXDg0vw/s1600/Red+Top+and+Scarf+Honey+We're%2BHome.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://bit.ly/1Fq9F4J">red top</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1qCFikQ">gloves</a> | looks like my <a href="http://bit.ly/1AQ3biA">scarf</a> is sold out :( similar <a href="http://bit.ly/15sTWqV">here</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/1F9cvLu">here</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />I've been asked about red lips lately, so I wanted to share my current go-to red lipstick- it's Mac Red (which is so old I should probably toss it), but I found a similar color, <a href="http://bit.ly/1rraBj9">Salon Rouge</a>.
