Do you like our Christmas tree? How about the decorations? ;) I think I need to investigate some sort of anti-cat spray for this situation.

Anyway, happy weekend! I’m so ready for it; we have had a long and difficult week! This weekend we are hosting my brother who is in town from NYC for a movie night (Home is on Netflix now!) and I’m also going to attend the annual Messiah singalong with my mom, one of my favorite holiday traditions. How about you?

To the mamas of littles during the holidays. (And maybe all the time, too?)

I really like Erin’s thoughts on dual (duel) parenting.

Did you shop the sales last weekend? I ordered these jeans (still 40% off!) and these booties (20% off!).

Obviously I loved this tribute.

Classic stocking stuffer ideas.

I love these tips for having a slow, simple, yet meaningful Advent.

And apparently I’m on a holiday kick, because here are ten simple annual holiday traditions.

I just today finished this fantastic book that lived up to the hype for me, and for the first time in ages I don’t have another one in progress! I’m going to pick up this audiobook from the library today for book club, though.

Happy weekending, friends!
