Favorite Christmas Present

One of my favorite presents that I received for Christmas this year is my new monogrammed lunch box! 

I know it sounds stupid, but last semester when I was student teaching, I had to bring my lunch in a plastic grocery bag -- so this is a big improvement! I absolutely love it and can't wait to use it everyday! 

I came across this lunch box on Etsy at rougeandco.  They have lots of adorable prints, colors, and fonts to choose from! Would make a great gift for students or teachers you might know :) 

Early Christmas Shopping!

So I was looking at Pinterest today (shocker) and decided to create a pinboard titled "My Christmas List." After I had spent a good deal of time procrastinating from my homework and pinning several things to this board, I realized I needed to start thinking about what I was going to get everyone for Christmas.  That was when I came across this darling website called "Haymarket Designs."  They have tons of adorable monogrammed products including cell phone cases, coasters, coozies, picture frames, plates...you get the idea. And all of their products have beautiful designs and patterns! While I was browsing this wonderful website I came across this little guy...

...It's a wine tote! I had never even heard of such a thing before.  But since my mom is one of the biggest wine lovers I know, I instantly knew that this would be a PERFECT Christmas gift for her. I enjoyed customizing it- picking out the pattern, colors, and what it would say.  I decided to put "tis the season to drink wine" on it (I thought that was appropriate).
