~Good morning! It’s been kind of a busy week around here. We (finally) got our Christmas tree and L and I decorated that one night which was way more fun than I was anticipating. He made me put on Christmas music and then he bounced around hanging ornaments and singing Christmas carols. How could that not be fun? So cute!
~L also had Santa Shop this week which was also super fun. I volunteered there for a few hours yesterday and it’s so fun to see what kids pick out for their families. If you have Elementary school-aged kids, do they have Santa Shop at school? What kind of things do they sell? At L’s school everything is $2 and is pretty similar to what you’d find at the Dollar Store. Some of the stuff is a “deal” for $2 and some not so much, but it all evens out. I helped L shop so I know what everyone’s getting, but unlike last year, he’s making everyone wait until Christmas this year :).
~Did anyone watch the “We Heart Diem” special on MTV this week? I haven’t watched it yet, but I am pretty sure I will need to get my Kleenex ready.
~I still have quite a few subscription boxes coming this week including Birchbox, bluum, BOXYCHARM, Doodle Crate (I cannot wait to get this), Dottiebox Mini, Fair Treasure, Lip Factory, Love With Food and Your Bijoux Box. My December PopSugar Must Have, Kiwi Crate and Citrus Lane boxes are on their way too, but I doubt they will be here until next week. Same with my PopSugar Holiday for Her.
~Have you seen this Frozen Sugar Cookie House? Instead of going gingerbread houses this year I want to make Frozen castles! It gets not so great reviews on Amazon, but I kind of expect that with any kit like this that you have to build yourself. Those prefab gingerbread houses are really the way to go. But this is just so cute.
~I will probably end up doing a separate post about this (I am planning to do separate posts on all the Birchbox and PopSugar codes because there are SO many right now), but you can score a free copy of Homemade Decadence by Joy the Baker, which is the Birchbox Book Club pick this month free with any purchase of $55+ at Birchbox! It’s $18 on Amazon right now, so I’ll call it an $18 value.
That’s all from here! What do you have going on today / this weekend? My cousins are coming down from up-north for the weekend and we are headed to Zoo Lights and maybe ice-skating with them and we have Storytime with Santa at L’s school tomorrow night. Should be a fun weekend!
