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...

Christmas Wish List

First of all, thank you for all of the suggestions for my blog title! :) Greg and I are deciding on something and it will be up shortly...you guys are fabulous!

For this Christmas, Greg and I are really trying to get each other/family members items that they really want or need. You know you always get those presents that you have no clue what to do with..well, we wanted to change that! Soooo, we're creating a list for each other (and family) to shop off of! Especially since we will be u-hauling our stuff across the country immediately following Christmas, we really wanted to have items that we seriously wanted or needed. Without further adue, here's my list :)...

This Griddle from Target :) We didn't get one from our wedding and it would make life so much easier! Plus, Greg for real wants this item...like bad!


Not only is this movie hilarious, but it takes place in Alaska! :)


This was on our wedding registry at Target and we didn't get it..but I still have hope for this little thing! If you're like me, you HATE the way your hands smell after cutting onions...here's the perfect fix! I have no idea if this works well or not, but it seems like a good idea. haha :)


L.O.V.E these serving bowls. They were on our Registry at BB&B and we didn't get any, however, they have similar ones at Ross & TJMaxx for hardly nothing! I love how clean they look!


How adorable is this Vest from NY&Co? I want. very badly...


North Face Boots...NEED!! They have this pair at Marshalls for like 1/2 the price!


North Face Hat...NEED! :) You can't tell, but this one has ear flaps and is well, perfect! They also have a similar white one at Dicks Sporting Goods with ear flaps..I love that one too :)


The North Face Greenland Jacket. This is a huge, huge, huge NEED! I can't decide if I want the Pink Girl's XL or the White Women's Size. Most of my North Face gear {which I have excessive amounts of} is children's sizes simply because of the price difference...but I just can't decide if I want white or pink?!? Either way, this coat is perfection for me.


Longchamp's Tan Purse. Especially with short handles...it makes me melt.


Seasons 1&2 of Army Wives. I would classify this as a Need :)


A plaid scarf...like this one from F21!


I love mustard colored anything..including these flats from Target!


I'm moving to Alaska..helloooo, I NEED some warm house slippers :) These are from Target, but I love all the furry knock-off Uggs.


A long stripped cardigan like this one from AE. Lo from The Hills was actually caught wearing this one in Navy Blue.


Any plaid button-up from AE! And they are on clearance this week! I'll be doing good if I can stand not going to get one for myself & Greg. He LOVES them too!! I told ya it was going to be our "new style"..haha :)


Because it just doesn't get any better than this...VS PINK Army Hoodie & Boyfriend Pants.



And this is totally random..but I REALLY want this book! Their story is just the sweetest!


Ok, Sorry for the boring randomness, but my family and husband read this blog so it was the best place to put up a Wish List! :) I hope everyone is having a fabulous Wednesday!
