  1. The common belief that steals joy – super interesting and great info on JOY!
  2. This is really great to have on hand for the holidays – both for wrapping presents and kids crafts (or making holiday cards)

  3. Nick and I have always wanted to take a train trip. On our honeymoon we took a day trip on a train and LOVED it. This post on readers’ favorite train trips is so so so amazing and makes me want to take an extended train trip!

Winter Water Factory | Christmas lights | Velvet pant
  1. I love this company for kids clothing.  Made in Brooklyn with organic cotton and such cute, vibrant patterns.  Heads up, they’re having a holiday sale now so check it out!
  2. I saw this story and it is just so darn cute and perfect for the holiday season.  I knew I needed to share it.
  3. Fun Target find – I got one pair of these for myself and one for my Mother-in-Law (she has a fun sense of style too!).  They are super comfy and stylish.

Alyssa’s Picks

Alyssa's Love List finds
Backpack | Holiday shirt | Holiday decor | Shelf decor
  1. I saw a lady at the grocery store with the CUTEST backpack I’ve ever seen so I asked where she got it…I wasn’t expecting the price but it is made of wool so it all made sense. It’s definitely saved to my someday list though!
  2. This Etsy shop has such cute Christmas shirts! I love this one!
  3. This is such a clever idea!! Big holiday decor is always so pricey so this is a great hack!
  4. This piece has been on my wishlist for a while now to upgrade some of my floating shelf decor! They have different designs and it would make a great gift!

The Team’s Favorite – Wrapping Paper

  • I’ve loved Hallmark double sided wrapping paper for years, and it just so happens to be the handiest thing now that I have kids, because I like wrapping each kids’ gifts in their own wrapping paper 🙂 And it’s not flimsy so it doesn’t rip easily.

Bridget

  • I always have way to many rolls of wrapping paper because I like to match the paper with the personality of the person who I’m giving the gift to.  I know that sounds silly, but my Mom loves snowmen and the vintage red Christmas truck, like this.  My sister and I love Christmas light patterns like this.  So, I don’t necessarily have a favorite brand – just love hunting for the perfect print!

Alyssa

  • I always buy my wrapping paper from Target! I usually just look for my favorite pattern they have every year. I really love simple and rustic types of wrapping paper!
