Happy Saturday! It’s been a while since I last posted a “crush” roundup, what with Thanksgiving and everything else. The holiday season is officially here, and I couldn’t be more excited. I’ve been listening to Christmas music nonstop—maybe a little too enthusiastically, but I don’t care.
What are you all up to? This morning we’re headed to a kids’ museum breakfast, and later today we’ll do a Christmas house tour. On Sunday I’ll be doing a big push of prep for someone’s upcoming second birthday (probably while getting a bit emotional) and finishing up final decorating touches.
p.s. If you’re still shopping, you can find all of my gift guides right HERE! I got a lot done at the Nordstrom holiday party on Thursday night, but there’s still more to do. Goal: stop buying things for myself.
