holiday / printables

i've made bucket lists in the past, but somehow not a holiday specific one! i love the month of december so much, i always have so much i want to do so i love a bucket list because i can put everything in one place!!

i designed two versions, the one with tons of lines for you overly ambitious people and one with only a few lines for those of you who don't want to write a novel.

and i filled up our entire list in case you need some inspo!

amazon

we got a few more of these fairy string lights, honestly we've ordered and returned a few of these on the search for the right color and that plug in (most are battery operated only). and these are the ones we've reordered– they're 100 ft long too! we love them for our tree and basically everywhere for holiday decorating — a strand on the cabinet, around our mirror, on our plants! everywhere!!!

i got this really adorable pear stuffed animal for my godson, i love him so much!

is this the prettiest candle?! it's also inexpensive and comes in a bunch of pretty colors. i love it so much!! and once you're done with the candle, you can reuse the vessel on a shelf or in the bathroom or kitchen!

my old hand mixer broke after 18 years (no joke, my mom got it my freshman year of college at target and i was really excited about baking in my apartment all alone) so i got this new hand mixer and it comes in cute pastel colors and has worked really well so far. i love being able to pull it out easily when i'm doing something quick versus using my large mixer.

i want to be those people who drink out of glasses, but we need to use non breakable for the next few years. our old ones were all cracked and broken so i got these tumblers and i'm obsessed. they look like real glass, the tall straight shape is so nice!

we also needed a new dish brush and i found this 4 pack of dish brushes that costs the same price i've been buying one dish brush for! so handsome and i love that i can use these and my hands stay dry and not smelling like a sponge.

recipes / thanksgiving

i've been wanting to post this recipe for a while, but i thought this would be the perfect time for those of you who have leftover turkey from your thanksgiving dinners!! it's my favorite way to spruce up turkey and make it totally different.

tbh i prefer this with chicken, but that's because i just prefer chicken to turkey! either works! i love to make a big batch of this and eat it for weekday lunches. we always end up going through it. Read More

roundup

holiday / kid things

i never had an advent calendar (being a jewish kid), but since we got one for arlo last year i'm so into it now! they are really fun and i just love doing something festive every single day leading up to christmas. last year i made a printable so that our calendar was filled with more activities than stuff, but i got some stuff this year for ours too.

i ended up getting a new one this year because the one we used last year had such tiny pockets, i wasn't really able to fit much besides paper in there– so i'm excited to have some more space this time! it's from gathre and i copied a friend who put the stocking garland on hers!

(i gotta say tho, this is the large size advent and i swapped for the small because the large is MASSIVE. unless you have a bunch of kids, i prefer the small size!)

this cute advent calendar is so nice and simple!! Read More

holiday / printables / xmas

i'm so excited to do an advent calendar for our first time this year! i bought this cute one from target (and i cut the tassels off to simplify it a bit), but wasn't sure what to fill the pockets with. i got a couple little things like elmo bandaids and was gonna put some little cars and chocolates and maybe some ornaments in them, but decided to also incorporate a lot of activities to do together instead of just material things!

the pockets are really small on my advent calendar, so i had to cut the cards way down to fit, but i left them square on the printable version so you can use them as is or cut down if needed! i also only did one set of 12. it was hard to come up with 12 things to do, and you can supplement the rest with treats and things.
