A few looks to inspire you to kick it up a notch this new years eve!
Everything from layering sweaters under fancy dresses, sneakers with satin skirts and joggers and sequins are OK on this day. It's all about what you feel your best in and can bring in the New Year celebrating. I'll be bringing in the new decade with my crew and cannot wait. I want to say HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY END OF A DECADE TO ALL OF YOU.

These two nuggets are keeping this mama busy, I am so close to being done with my shopping, and tomorrow will be spent taking down Christmas and packing up to head to Massachusetts on Saturday morning. You guys the holiday vacation is so close I can taste it!!
This weekend I will continue working on some homemade gifts with the girls, I have usually tackled them solo in the past (because I simply always run out of time). This year I want to include them and gift to some of favorite people. Here are a few ideas!
1. Hot Chocolate on a Stick, this is awesome for family and friends. Even a great hostess gift. I had a friend mail this kind of hot chocolate to us but not in a jar, she had it in a ziploc bag.
2. I have this set and plan on making candles with the girls to give to the grandmas and tia. (would be beautifully gifted with these gold candle stick holders as a hostess gift or for anyone really).
3. A few years ago I made a bunch of these for hostess gifts and anyone that came by, I am going to do the same for our neighbors and my mom's.
4. My cousin Jadi and his wife Kelly made yummy rubs and gifted them, this one from my blog is my favorite and such a great gift. Buy your seasonings in bulk at Whole Foods and package in glass jars to step it up and use less plastic.
* For a larger gift, I love the idea of some cute gift package with a roasting pan, apron and a jar of the rub. I love that you can make the rub and put together the basket with your kids!
5. Gin & Lime Marmalade looks so amazing.
6. This is the homemade bath bomb recipe I use and it's so easy. The perfect gift for anyone on your list, just alter what essential oils you are using per person. I make some for congestion with eucalyptus and gentle baby that are the girls favorites! ( I have this snowflake and the heart shape silicone molds).
7. Christmas Morning Pancakes in a jar.
8. Homemade Soap can be easy, cost effective and also easier to get cleaner yummy smelling product.
9. Homemade lip balm is fun!
Happy almost weekend my friends.

12. This Jewelry making kit is one of the girls favorite things to do, much better for older girls but I help Ami so they both can do it.
15 This Mongoose Scooter has great reviews and to be honest it looks pretty dang cool.
16. I am not a lover of anything that is like fighting but this oldie but a goodie game seems something that would keep things entertained, #winning.
17. Stomp Rocket Stunt Game, fun for the whole family with something like this. I feel like it could be something city parents could pack up to the park for endless fun.
18. This marble run is one of Zoe & Dada's fav solo time activities.
