friday favorites | cozy winter vibes

Happy Friday friends! It’s the first day of December and for me, this is a really busy month. I have lots of family Christmas parties, birthday parties and I’m doing vlogmas this year! I’m not joking – my planner has something written on it almost EVERY single day. Since I’ll be vlogging every day of December, I’m not sure how many blog posts I’ll be able to get up. Definitely subscribe to my YouTube channel (here) if you want to see lots of content!

Here are some things I have been loving lately…

One: I pretty much love anything Lauren Conrad creates so when I saw this winter hat and scarf combo at Kohls, I picked it up for myself. I got it on Black Friday for a great deal but it’s suppose to be a Christmas present from Cody so I can’t wear them just yet. We’ll see how long that lasts 😉

Two: This little corner of my house is one of my favorites right now because I’m loving the vintage Christmas vibe. I’m getting lots of questions about the Santa and Mrs. Clause shelf sitters but honestly I have no idea where they are from. They were passed down to me through my family. That wooden Rudolph is one of my favorite Christmas decorations we have! I snagged that last year from The Found Cottage.

Three: I love that it’s crockpot season! It makes my life a whole lot easier when I can throw stuff in the crockpot in the morning and not have to think about it until it’s time to eat. This is a meal that we have been making weekly – we love it! The recipe can be found below

Four: This is a fun one for the kids! It’s an app called Message from Santa and it allows Santa to contact your kiddos! He can call, text message or leave a voicemail. You can choose why the kids will be getting a call (if they did something nice or naughty) and when the call will take place. I plan on using this whenever McKenzie and Kasey are being naughty to remind them to straighten up! 🙂

Five: My last favorite on the list is this book from Wonderbly, A Christmas Snowflake. It’s about a little snowflake who journeys through the land to find a home while meeting cute characters along the way. You can personalize this story to your family and there is a special little keepsake at the end of the book. My kids love seeing their names inside a book, it really makes them feel special while reading it.

What have you guys been loving lately? Let me know in the comments! Have a great start to your December!!
