A few things; everything in this guide is on major sale so yay! Also, I buy my mom those pajamas from Victoria's Secret every year and good news, this time of year they always come with free slippers! So for under $40 you get pj's and slippers #winning. ...
Gifts for Her under $250
Ok, I know $250 is a total splurge. But this is the list you need to send your husband, significant other, or that person you've been extra nice to this year. Let's be honest, if you're a mom or a working woman, then you more than deserve a $250 gift. There's only a couple things on the list that are around $250 --most are $150 and under. I have a couple of these things and swear by them, like the silk pillowcase that will change. your. life (because hair). I know most people probably own ...
Gifts for the Hostess
I finally did it, I made a gift guide. I haven't yet been a blogger during a holiday season, so this whole "gift guide" thing is kind of like a foreign language.

I go about this process in slightly different ways, but the overall approach is usually the same. I first think of a theme -- are we going more fall or more funny? More casual or more dressy? I always decide that first. From there I'll usually find the kids' outfits first, since I can generally find anything for Nathan and me that coordinates with them. I'll go through a couple ...
