WHAT WE ARE EATING
WELL.
We’re eating leftovers (chili and tamales from Christmas Eve and BBQ from Christmas Day), and we’re going out to eat.
The end.
p.s. Y’all know that I’m also eating pumpkin bread.

WHAT I’M LOVING
I think my favorite time of year is right now… from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Eve. The days are filled with family and friends, and I love the feeling of not knowing what day it is and just going with the flow. These are my least productive days of the whole year AND I FREAKING LOVE IT.
***********************
WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT
I know it just happened, but let’s do a little reminiscing about Christmas.
Chris’s sister and her family weren’t able to come in from California this year :(, but we spent both Christmas Eve and Christmas day with my parents, Chris’s parents, and my sister’s family.
I didn’t get any family pictures on Christmas Eve, but I was able to grab a picture of Carter and his buddies after the Christmas Eve service at church.
We spent Christmas morning at home just the 3 of us, and it was great! We had a slow morning in our pjs and loved every minute of it. (Carter got Invisalign a couple of weeks ago, so those are the little Invisalign buttons that you are seeing on his teeth.)
Everybody came over again at noon on Christmas day.
I love seeing these 3 boys together. Bennet is 3, Brody is 9, and Carter is 14!
Here are the boys with my parents.
The lighting was off in this next picture, so black and white it is!

WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT
THE SALES THAT ARE GOING DOWN RIGHT NOW ARE INCREDIBLE.
I shared lots of sales on Monday, but I found more items on Nordstom yesterday! Some of the items are SALE ON SALE, and some are just regular sale. Everything that is SALE ON SALE is absolutely flying off the shelves.
Paige jeans / Zella flare pants / Ugg wrap cardigan / faux leather straight leg jeans
gold Michele watch / cognac booties / diamond hoop earrings / white Michele watch
Kendra Scott hoop earrings / pink crewneck sweater / leggings / faux leather jacket / sweater
And since I know it’s easy to miss posts during the holidays, I’m going to repost a lot of what I highlighted on Monday on today’s post!
I scoured the pages of Nordstrom, and I picked what I think are some of the best of the best deals right now! Some Colleen Rothschild products also made it on to the collage because the CR sale right now is too good not to talk about. Oh, and the T3 curling iron is from Nordstrom Rack, but it’s my new favorite hair tool. It’s awesome.
1) Colleen Rothschild products / 2) grey v-neck / 3) grey jeans / 4) super soft sweater / 5) Living Proof set / 6) hot pink Ugg slippers / 7) jacket / 8) fleece open front cardigan / 9) P448 sneakers / 10) leopard slippers / 11) T3 curling iron / 12) pajamas
My leopard slippers (#10 in collage) went 30% OFF! If you don’t own a great pair of slippers that you love putting on at the end of the day, FIX THAT RIGHT NOW.
If you aren’t a fan of leopard, there are solid color choices HERE.
I own several pairs of slippers, and I think that pretty much all slippers are good, but these slippers are exceptional. They hug my feet, they keep them quite warm, AND THEY’RE DARLING. They only come in whole sizes. I’m pretty typically a 6 1/2, and I ended up going with the 6.
leopard ugg slippers (other color options HERE)
This pattern in the pajamas is no longer available, but the leopard option is DARLING and ON SALE!
pajamas / blardigan / slippers
SALE ON SALE: These pajamas (#12) are on sale AND then are an additional 25% OFF right now! They are lightweight, super soft, and super cute too. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.
I also grabbed a 3 pack of my favorite original rise Hanky Panky. I couldn’t resist the SALE ON SALE.
Lululemon is having their biggest sale of the year. I know you lululemon devotees LIVE for this sale because the deals are crazy good. Like this training tank is ONLY $19! THIS STUFF IS CUTE! And the camo running shirt is almost $50 OFF!
1) vest / 2) training tank / 3) crop Align leggings / 4) purple race shirt / 5) tech shirt
6) sports bra / 7) Align leggings / 8) camo running shirt / 9) cotton blend tee / 10) zip-up fleece
J Crew Factory has TONS OF SALE ITEMS, many that are between 50-70% OFF!
This heart puff sleeve sweater is DARLING. And it’s 50% OFF! It’s a bold move to pair it with the heart khakis and gold earrings, but it’s not quite my vibe. I think I’ll style it with denim, gold hoops, and sneakers. 😉
And how cute are these striped pajamas. Also 50% OFF!
Colleen Rothschild is having her awesome END OF YEAR SALE!
Use the code END15, END20, or END25 to get your cart for 15%, 20%, or 25% OFF (depending on how much you spend). Stock up on your favorites or try something new!
The two products below are the products I can’t live without. But they aren’t just my ride or dies just in the winter, I use them consistently throughout the entire year. I also absolutely cannot live without the face oil #9. It’s a miracle product. Nothing in the world hydrates my skin like it does. And the dual enzyme polish is my favorite exfoliator.
Cleansing Balm / Glycolic Acid Peel Pads
Tory Burch is also having a Semi-Annual Sale!
The Miller Cloud sandals are the cheapest I’ve ever seen them. Regularly $198, they are $112 right now! Check out everything on sale HERE.

WHAT I’M WATCHING
I’ve been on the computer alllllllllllll day long, and I’ve had Lifetime movies playing in the background alllllllllll day long. It was nightmare neighbors day on Lifetime. I have to say, you can keep your sweet and sentimental Hallmark movies, GIVE ME THE CRAZIES. I want to know about jealous exes, killer cheerleaders, and nightmare neighbors. I don’t care about the local inn keeper that falls back in love with his high school sweetheart that came back to town for a Christmas cookie convention. I want to see the story about the ambulance chasers that kidnapped a girl from the scene of her car wreck and took her home to replace their dead sister to placate their psychotic mom. I watched that exact movie on Monday. Now THAT’S good t.v. 😉
***********************
WHAT I’M WORKING ON
I have several wrap up posts that I’m working on right now. On Friday, you’ll get to see y’alls Top 12 from December. Spoiler Alert: this item was Top 3 for the month and it’s still available (in 2 colors, and I have both)! And then next week you’ll get to see you tip top picks from Amazon for the entire year!
***********************
WHAT I’M WEARING
I have two pairs of these pajamas, and I’m telling you, I’ve worn them an embarrassing amount of times over the last 2 weeks. On the day after Christmas, I wore 1 pair the entire day. I showered that night, and I put on the other pair. They are sooooo freaking good. And they are UNDER $20! Sizes and colors are limited, but I’m telling you, grab your size if you can. It doesn’t matter what color/pattern…just get a set! For size reference, I’m wearing a small.
***********************
WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO
We’re headed to the ranch soon with several of our favorite families, and I’m looking so forward to that! The weather is going to be FABULOUS!
***********************
LAST 3 THINGS I’VE PURCHASED FROM AMAZON
- I’m excited about this sweater jacket. I grabbed it in khaki in a small. It has incredible reviews, so I’m super hopeful it’s going to be awesome!
- This slouchy pullover zippered sweater in blush (officially called “pink”). These sweaters that zip up with the big collars are soooo in right now, and I was thrilled to find this version from Amazon. I got a small.
- I was out of face sunscreen, so I grabbed my favorite face sunscreen (recommended by my dermatologist) so I could have it for the ranch. I wear it every single day, but having it for a ranch trip is extra important.

That’s it for today, y’all! Now link up and let us know what you’re up to!
