[my buddy Ev and his love for Christmas trees // Kevin McCallister anyone?!]

The Hearth and Hand holiday goodies have hit the shelves at Target and I legit did a happy dance. My favorite (and purchased pieces) are: the Santa mailbox (Everett’s favorite) + notepad, the gold framed trees print, an embroidered tree skirt and the cutest kitchen towel set.

Oprah’s annual favorite things list came out this week and it is a doozy! This kids suitcase is so chic. You know how much I love the boys artwork, so this personalized embroidery gift is perfection. And who wouldn’t love to have homemade lattes + cappuccinos with this machine?!

Looking to get into the holiday spirit over the weekend? May I suggest baking these Andes Mint Cookies. They are one of my faves and freeze up pretty well too incase you want to get some holiday baking done ahead of time!
