It's December! Cue all the happy feels.
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your friends and families and even got a start on your holiday shopping. We have decked our halls, hung our stockings, and are in full holiday spirit over here. Now we slow down and savor the season.
We have this saying posted by the door we use to leave the house. I think it sums up our mission perfectly!
I am linking up with Andrea and Erika today to share my Friday Favorites!

Nothing makes me happier than coming down the driveway after work and seeing this view. Cozy is my one of my very favorite words and houses lit up for Christmas are the definition of cozy!

As I was planning to slow down and savor December this year, I wanted to find an Advent study that I could do during my morning quiet time. I was so excited to learn that Melanie Shankle from the Big Boo Cast had self published an Advent devotional with a corresponding playlist. This is not an affiliate link, but sharing here in case you are looking for something to read daily for Advent.

I am all for anything that makes Christmas wrapping easier because it is one of my least favorite tasks. Imagine my happiness when I discovered this little gadget. Genius!

I found this crossbody bag a few weeks back and have used it every time I've been out shopping since. It is the perfect size for your phone, a few cards, and even has a zippered pouch for lip gloss and some cash. The price and quality can't be beat! The mauve, green, and plaid (the one I have) are the best quality, in my opinion.

I will be spending my weekend reading a Christmas book, seeing White Christmas with friends and family at the Peoria Riverfront Museum, and finishing my Christmas shopping (fingers crossed)...online. I'm going to drop some links with great deals here so I have them all in one place. Maybe it will help you too!
If you do not already use Rakuten when shopping online, you definitely should! You just sign in one time and it tracks your online shopping. You earn cash back for every purchase made. Right now, they are offering $40 in cash back bonus after your first online purchase if you are a new member. If you use this link, we both get cash back. I truly would not shop online without it!

Here's wishing you the coziest winter weekend!

Hey there! I'm stopping by from the the Friday Favorites link party. What a fun post! Homes with Christmas lights is one of my favorite things too and so is White Christmas! I just watched that yesterday. I'll never get over Bing Crosby...my dad reminds me so much of him, even down to his beautiful singing voice. My dad is 90, and I grew up watching this movie. I hope you have a cozy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love driving down my driveway and seeing the house lit up too! It's such a fun festive time of year. That paper gadget looks awesome! Enjoy the weekend and seeing White Christmas!
