Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday, everyone! Are you finishing up all your holiday “to do’s”? Yeah, me too. I have a few gifts left to wrap, cookies to bake, crafts to finish and a super fun video to edit and then I’m done. Put a fork in me. A week from tomorrow we are heading off for a family vacation in Colorado, and I couldn’t be more excited. I won’t be posting that week, but I have some rad guest posters lined up for you that you’re gonna love! Just call me Santa!

Here are some fun links to get you through your weekend:

I wrote about one of my favorite Christmas memories over at the Zesty Digest.

Love is such an incredible thing.

Um, Khloe Kardashian posted a slideshow of her favorite Kardashian Christmas cards and I have to say…well, I don’t know what to say. But it’s worth the click over! (Matching motorcycle jackets? Okay then.)

Have you tried the Portable North Pole? We’ve done it the past few years and the magic hasn’t faded for Lucy. This website (with a new app too!) will make a specialized video with Santa talking to your kid, complete with their own name, photos of them and specific gift requests. Best of all, it’s free!

A great holiday wish list from my friend Nicole over at Petit Soul. I would like one of each, please.

I want to visit this swing art installation in NYC!

Last minute gift idea: Printable treat bags! Fill with goodies for your neighbors, teachers or postman. Easy peesy.

Another cute (and quick) neighbor gift, DIY candy checkers. Comes complete with printables. Hooray for easy!

Love this post from Andrea on the importance of being at choice.

It’s hot toddy season! Here’s a great recipe.

Oh Cinque Terre, I miss you so.

2012 in pop songs. Let’s dance!
