It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Recently, I have been getting the question, “What would you like for your birthday and Christmas this year?” My birthday is December 16, which is nine days away from Christmas. Therefore, my Christmas list just becomes a list for my birthday too. Growing up my family has been great about keeping both my birthday and Christmas separate. But the challenging part is creating a list of everything I could possibly want for the year, because I really only get one chance.

I have started my list, but still struggling to come up with enough items for my parents, grandparents and my boyfriend’s family. Here is what I have so far:

Bombas Socks - Only about the best socks ever! These socks are so comfortable and the company’s mission is ever better. For every pair purchased they donate a pair to someone in need. How cool is that?

Life Jacket - Call me crazy, but yes I would like a life jacket for Christmas. My boyfriend recently bought a boat with one of his friends and we went wakeboarding, water skiing and kneeboarding a lot this past summer. One problem, I don’t have a super comfortable and snug life jacket. Therefore, I decided why not put it on my birthday/Christmas list?

Starbucks Gift Cards - I am a HUGE fan of Starbucks and their rewards program. Anytime I see a Starbucks I almost always have to stop and grab an iced caramel latte. Last year I received almost $50 worth of gift cards for Starbucks. I was set for a long time!

These are just a few of the items on my list. What is on your Christmas list this year? Any other ideas for me?

    Did you ever get separate gifts for your birthday and Christmas or was it used as a way to combine the two?

    In your experience do you feel you get more or less presents due to the fact that your celebrations are so close together?

Joys of Being Home

Image
Like many of you, I have been soaking in the sun and enjoying this great spring weather we have been having recently in Ohio. Coming from a small town, country background one of my favorite things to do is ride four-wheelers when the weather is nice. While spending this past weekend at home I was able to enjoy some much-needed time with family and friends. On Sunday I went with various friends back to the woods and creek. It was so great enjoying the fresh air and spending time with my friends that I hadn’t seen for a couple of weeks while being at school. I took for granted the relaxing atmosphere of my hometown while being at school. After being home I am so excited for spring to come and stay for good. Here are some pictures from the weekend! There are so many great things about being home. What are your favorite things to do when you visit home? I would love to hear what you do in your hometown.  I am a firm believer in where we come from sha...

Spring Has Sprung!

Image
I don’t know about you, but I am absolutely LOVING this spring weather! I enjoy being able to open the window in my dorm to let in fresh air, go for walks around the green monster and of course being able to wear all my spring clothes that have been in the back of my closet for too long. Well the time is here! I decided I would share one of my favorite things to wear during the spring! Birkenstocks! Yes, I know they aren’t the most attractive pair of shoes, but they are actually VERY comfortable. Also, Birkenstock will repair your shoes if something is to happen to your beloved Birks or you have simply just worn-out certain parts of them. They are close to $100, but I think you can justify that price when you see all the great features and benefits that come with them. So, why wouldn’t you want a pair of sandals that are awesome for your feet versus your typical Old Navy black rubber flip flops? What is your favorite thing to wear in the spring? I wo...

Vera Bradley Annual Outlet Sale

Image
Last Thursday I honestly thought I had died and gone to heaven. Not really, but I was on very overjoyed and excited! I went to the annual Vera Bradley outlet sale in Fort Wayne,Indiana with my mom. For those of you that don’t know the Vera Bradley sale is held each year with large amounts of their products on sale. My mom had gone for the past several years and I was always so jealous and wanted to go but I couldn’t miss school because of softball. However, this year was finally my turn to go and experience the craze I had heard so much about. We arrived for our 11 a.m. session at 9:30 a.m. We wanted to make sure we had a decent spot in line to avoid a lot of the madness that was going to follow behind. Also by arriving early we could beat a lot of the long lines at checkout. While waiting in line Vera Bradley had various staff members encouraging us to use their hashtag and post pictures. Of course, my mom and I followed their instructions. There were prizes up for grabs! They al...
