Five on Friday – Christmas Roundup

Happiest of Fridays to you!  I’m off today to take Jacob to a field trip, and I am thrilled to be along for the ride!  This will be my first time volunteering for a field trip and he and I are both so excited!  We’re heading to a Christmas play first, and then it’s off to a picnic lunch at a local park.  It should be a wonderful day of memory-making with my sweet, sweet boy.

The holiday season is in full swing, so today on the blog I thought I would share all of my favorite Christmas posts right here in one place to a) get you in the holiday spirit (if you’re not already, that is), b) help you with some ideas if in case you need them, and c) maybe even inspire you a little? 

O N E – Christmas DIY

Looking to do something crafty this season?  I had so much fun making this ornament, and it’s the perfect thing to do to use all of those wine corks lying around.  We have a ton!  It also makes the cutest gift!



T W O – Holiday Gift Ideas

I had to think long and hard about what I wanted for Christmas this year.  Usually I keep an ongoing list of the things that I want, but there really wasn’t that much on the list when I started preparing for my post.  However, once I started browsing, I came up with plenty of ideas!  If you’re in need of some ideas for your own wish list, might I suggest shopping mine?  And if you’re in need of gift ideas for others, I also have you covered there as well.  Links to the original posts are below.



T H R E E – Holiday Fashion

‘Tis the season for fancy dresses and you can shop some of my favorites in the link below.  I want them all! 




F O U R – Christmas Bucket Lists

I did a bucket list for 2015 and I carried the tradition over to this year with a bucket list for 2016 as well.  You can see both of them below.  Lots of fun ideas… festive things to do, movies to watch, things to make, and good food to eat!




F I V E – Past Christmas Posts

Last year I shared so many fun things, but I know a lot of you readers were not around back then.  So in case you missed them, here are some of my favorite Christmas posts from last season.



And don’t forget to join us for our Holiday Home Tour link up on Tuesday!  You know you want to show off all of that hard work you’ve put into making your homes cozy and sweet for the holidays.  :o) 

Happy weekend, y’all!
