For the holidays you can't beat home sweet home

Finals are finally over and I could not be more excited to be HOME! Christmas is my favorite time of year - especially now that I am in college since I get a month off from school and have plenty of time to relax and enjoy my friends and family :) There is truly nothing better.

I have enjoyed sleeping in and have been busy finishing up my Christmas shopping. Last night my mother, sister and I had dinner together and then started to wrap some presents by the tree while enjoying a glass of wine. I have loved catching up with my amazing high school friends and of course spending time with Scott now that I am home. On Saturday we will celebrate my older brother and sister's birthdays by going out to dinner! I couldn't be happier during this wonderful time of year.

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).
