Buying gifts for men, in my opinion, is the absolute WORST! In fact, I currently have all of my Christmas shopping done, with the exception of my Dad’s gift. I mean…WHATDOYOUGETHIM???
Here are a few options that might be good:
Remember when I told y’all I was gonna make stockings this year? Well I did some semi-homemade ones…I had every intention of going and buying the felt to actually sew the stockings but when I got to my fabric store lo and behold they had basic red felt stockings that I could use as a base to start with. So I bought 4 of those puppies and some rick rack and felt squares. I had purchased two ornaments (an owl and a hedgehog) to put on the pockets of the boys’ stockings the week before. So I got to work and ended up just hot glueing the majority of the project. My plan for next year is to actually embroider their names on by hand (inspired by this), but for now I’m just going to use the initials.
Hey everyone! I’m going to be participating in The Great Necklace Exchange of 2011 over on the Fashion Loves People blog. Go read about it, it sounds super fun and it clearly states that you don’t have to be a designer or even creative…SOLD! I was a little hesitant at first but I’m just gonna go for it and see what I can come up with. Who wants in? It’s the last day to sign up!!!
William Chris vinyards is a winery my hubby and I ran across during our yearly anniversary wine tasting outside of Fredricksburg, TX. We bought several bottles and only recently revisted this one…OMGLOVE!!!!
This is a boutique winery, so you can really only buy the wine from their website…totally worth it though…
Currently my everyday necklace is a gold rectangle bar with my sons’ initials on a silver chain. I’ve been quite partial to mixing the gold and silver lately. So when I saw these necklaces on Clementine etsy shop, I immediately fell in love and also think it would perfectly compliment what I already wear…just another layer. We all need layers right? Personally I think I’d get the gold chain/silver bar combo since my other necklace is the opposite combination.
Once again Old Navy has some super cute outerwear for winter! I’m loving all of these, though we only wear a coat here maybe twice during the winter…so I’d probably stick with a jacket or vest for layering. For those of you in places that it actually snows, do you have lots of different coats you wear to change it up? Just curious…
I’m in love with this picture above, specifically the bright colored leg warmers. I’m also in love with cowboy boots. I’m thinking I need to pair up some shorty cowboy boots with some leg warmers or cuffs via etsy and some jeggings. What say you?

I’m in the midst of a complete closet overhaul. I have a lot of stuff to get rid of and I also have a lot of things I want to reorganize. I’ve been searching pinterest and googling tips and organization tools to get my closet all spiffed up. One of the ideas I ran across was to use a regular old bath robe or bath towel hook for your belts. So I headed to my neighborhood Target and instead of getting the regular bath/towel hook I had planned on, I ran across these and thought it might be even better. So far so good! There were different sizes that will hold different weights. If you decide to go this route you might want to take into account that you can’t hang a tiny belt on the wide hook, so you might want to get different sizes for different belts, but man otherwise, this is getting my organizational juices going!
I went on a hunt for some new fleece hats on Etsy and ran across this adorable shop: mrs ptb makes all things awesome. She has some ADORABLE hats for girls and boys. These are just a few of the ones that I found, go check out the shop for more!
