HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE // GOLD

/

Did you know there are only seven Fridays left until CHRISTMAS!!? SEVEN!! Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? We started the other night with shopping for our Operation Christmas Child Boxes. You've probably heard of OCC but if you haven't, OCC is an amazing program through Samaritan's Purse that delivers Christmas presents to kids all over the world. James shopped for a little boy and I shopped for a little girl. We had so much fun filling those boxes with toys, school supplies and clothing. I highly encourage it!

Well my first holiday gift guide is for lovers of gold. Happy Christmas shopping season!!

How cute is everything? I'm especially eyeing that gold lipstick mug!

How do you manage your Christmas shopping? Are you an early shopper or a last minute type of person? I like to say I'm a planner but really, I usually get it done last minute on my lunch hours in those final days before Christmas!

Stay gold,

Well I hope you have a fun AND safe Halloween! If you're still stuck on a costume, may I suggest wearing clothes and opting for a more creative costume choice? We're hitting up the corn maze this morning and then plan on watching a scary movie at home. Last night I had some girls over to watch Hocus Pocus...I need to watch that movie every single year. What's your favourite Halloween movie?
