I’m back again, at Payton’s request, for all you last-minute shoppers who have waited until being 15 (or less) days away from Christmas to start buying gifts for the men in your life. Hopefully, this last-minute men’s holiday gift guide will help you in your time of gift-giving need!
This year, I’ve broken this list up into 4 major categories and each category has an affordable option for those who have been nice, and a higher-end option for those who have been extra nice this year. If you want to see my list of stocking stuffers click here.
My whole family has been sick this weekend. Isla had a tummy bug and I’ve got a terrible upper respiratory infection at the moment. I thought Evan had been spared but he has caught Isla’s tummy bug. That is why I haven’t posted in a few days. Saturday afternoon we made some cookies and I wanted to share the recipe with you.
I have always loved baking with my Grandma. It doesn’t happen very often because she lives in Illinois and we only see her every couple of years. We always exchange recipes and try them out. My grandma makes all kinds of cookies for Christmas. When we visit her house she has tubs and tubs full of every kind of cookie you could want. It’s amazing.
I’ve always liked her sugar cookies the best. I made them this weekend with Isla and then my nephews came over to decorate them. We had so much fun using different icing and sprinkles. Isla wasn’t that into it this year but I think she will enjoy it later on.
Here is the recipe that I used:
This has been a wonderful year. Nothing big has happened or anything. Although, that could be a good thing. We’ve just been working, enjoying life with Isla Rose, playing with our puppies and spending a little more time at home with each other. I thought i’d take just a minute and update you on life as of late.
Day 3 of Blogmas 2019! That’s right. I plan on posting every day (or at least trying to) until Christmas like I did last year. I have a ton of fun Christmas content for you guys and I’m pumped that you’re here. I love this little community. I can’t believe I started this journey over a year ago! Now settle in for a quick list of 5 gifts you need to get your toddler this Christmas!
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! I also hope you’re excited to get some new ideas for Christmas books to read to your child because I’ve put together a short list of books to read with your children during December!
This year has really flown by. Fall is always such a busy time for us because we have Isla’s birthday and our anniversary in October. I’ve been so busy running around and decorating for the Holidays (Home tour coming soon), that I have really had to make slowing down and focusing on what’s around me during this season a priority. It’s so easy to get swept up in social media and screen time during the colder months but I’ve really been making an effort to make memories with Isla.
