Dear Santa...

I've done this before and it was fun so I think I'll just do it again! :)  Many people have asked me what to get Bennett for Christmas, so I'm including that too at the bottom of this blog post!

First and foremost, these are a NEED. I go through a pair of Uggs in no time flat.  Seriously, I live in them during the months of October-March.  Well worth the investment.
I'm loving the Bailey Button Triplet ones this year!

I'm a little late to hop on the bandwagon, but I'm currently obsessing over Toms.  I feel like they would be a great addition to my Mommy wardrobe since I'm basically living in jeans, tees, and scarves these days.  I would love each and every pair but these are a few of my favs.  How am I ever supposed to pick which one?!? Perhaps I should start a collection...

Obsessed with this monogrammed cross body bag from Marley Lilly. I just think it's perfect in every way..camel color of course, although mustard isn't bad either.

Open Front Cardigans from Target.  I cannot get the pic from online, but I own this in black and love it!  I hope to have a couple more colors before I go back to AK.  Such an staple to any outfit, especially jeans and tee.  {Would be perfect with above Toms}  As always, gift cards to my favorite place of all time, always work too! :)

Random, I know..but I'm dying for a monogrammed baseball hat! These from Marley Lilly are adorable!

And I may not get this hat for Christmas..but you can bet it will be in my possession before Greg comes home and we take our big family vaca! Oh my, how I want this!  From Marley Lilly also..can anyone tell I'm in love with this website?

This might seem silly to some, but now that I'm a mommy I find it sooo incredibly hard to spend money on myself for anything, much less for lavish things.  And yes, I am now the girl who considers a manicure and pedicure lavish. Never thought that day would come.  I need both a mani/pedi far more than you will ever want to know. It's sad really and gross. 

Like I mentioned in the post below, I had such a hard time putting this list together!

Now..on to Bennett.  Here's a few ideas for him.
-Toys-R-Us gift cards.  Reason?  We literally have NO toys for him in Alaska and will be making a trip to Anchorage when Greg gets home.  It would be great to get him some age appropriate toys then.  That way, I don't have to lug some back from NC.
-6 Month toys that light up or make sound.  The kid loves music.
-Wiggles DVD's.
-Books..our collection is so small & it is so incredible sad! {Gift Card to Barnes & Noble is a good idea since we have one of those in Alaska}
-Play remote control or cell phone.  He's obsessed with both.
-Swim Lessons!  We're going to start in January...he'll be 6 months old!
-Puzzle Mat.  This would be great for here in NC and when we get back to Alaska for a little baby that's learning to sit up and crawl.
-PJ's.  We go through some serious pajamas around here.  I feel like everytime I turn around he's outgrown a pair.  I LOVE the ones from Children's Place for multiple reasons, but mainly because they zip and are lean.  They run small so he's already in size 6-9months.  For a Christmas gift I'd say size 6-9 or 12months, fleece or cotton.  On days where we don't leave the house, the cotton ones are perfect!  I can't believe I just admitted that occassionally I let my child stay in PJ's all day, but I did also say we didn't leave the house when that happens! :)

I think Bennett & I have been on the nice list..let's see what Santa thinks...
