december!

Now that it’s December (how fast this year has gone!) it’s time to bust out that glorious advent calendar and start munching on the chocolate.

Usually I just pick up the $2 choco calendar at Trader Joe’s.

1) Because it’s cheap.

2) Because who doesn’t want to pop some cocoa in their mouth each morning?

But, I do think this advent calendar from Pottery Barn is particularly adorable. You could totally get creative with this one and toss in some fun mini-gifts in each pocket. And some chocolate too, of course.

‘Tis the season!!

looks i love….

Perfect for party time, I love these looks.

Happy Thanksgiving!

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!

We’re celebrating right here at my apartment this year, which is really nice and relaxing and I’m thankful for that! I watched the parade this morning in my PJ’s and with a hot cup of coffee. Then I set to work making the celery root and apple puree. I taste tested it about an hour ago and it is DELICIOUS! I’ve been taking spoonfuls here and there when no one is looking. Hopefully there will still be some left for the feast.

I am thankful for oh so many things this year. For my family and friends, my wonderful new job, being able to keep in touch and have great times with the people closest to me, and finally finishing up my masters in just a few short weeks!

I hope you have a super Thanksgiving!
