December Quote

Friday. F i n a l l y
I am more than ready for the weekend to be here and to get some time to sleep in. I’m heading back to Atlanta on Saturday and have a full day of baking cookies with my cousins on Sunday. We’ve been doing this since we were all really little and it’s one of my favorite holiday traditions. Half the fun is eating the cookie dough, am I right? I can’t believe Christmas is less than two weeks away. I have to finish up my holiday shopping and get to wrapping!

favorite links from around the web….

+ While I haven’t lived on a Caribbean island, these lessons are perfect reminders to stop, slow down and appreciate life.

+ Have the urge to bake? Try these 10 cookies under 100 calories.

+ Newly addicted to this beauty blog.

+ Dinner one night next week has to be this.

+  Added these to my wish list. The best brand for workout pants.

+ Don’t forget to share your favorite flavor with me!

    Have a fun weekend in Atlanta!
    Those cookie recipes look so yummy and easy! I want to make the Chocolate Rice Crispie ones asap.
    And I keep hearing such great things about Zella…I need to just buy a pair of their leggings already.

    Ashley- your outfit is adorable but I always have trouble wearing tight with heels. How do you keep your feet from sliding all around and your heels from falling off. I just feel like I have no grip! Any thoughts?

    Thanks!
