Mom's Christmas Wish List

Seeing how I've been kind of in a funk the last several weeks I figure the only way to really break out of it is to immerse myself in the Christmas holiday. This year my husband and I decided it was best to skip getting one another Christmas gifts. We are actually getting hardwood floors installed in our home so that is really our gift to one another. But it is the holiday season and it is kind of nice to dream. I've put a list together of a few of my favorite things just in case Santa Clause is following along with my blog this year.

I'm all about being comfy this year. Can you tell with my wish list above? Living with a toddler doesn't mean you get much time to relax so my wish list definitely includes some relaxation and to do so I can't think of a better way than with a comfy Victoria's Secret pajama shirt paired with a warm robe and some pink slippers. I can just see myself snuggling up after a bath filled with Lush bath bombs, shower gel and lotion. As I cuddle up with a new Christmas pillow, water bottle and using my adult coloring book. (I already have one of these and they are the most relaxing thing on the planet. I highly recommend one if you tend to be a stressed out person like me.) I even added some little extras. Last year I started a Stella and Dot charm necklace and I'd like to add a new charm. Maybe with our wedding date or my initials. To finish off my list I'd love a little Amazing Grace scents and a new Vera Bradley Scarf. You can never have too much Vera!

One really cool thing that put a smile on my face is that I won Meg's Favorite Things Giveaway on her blog! Meg blogs at My Borrowed Heaven. I "met" Meg few years back when we were partners in a Christmas gift swap. She is awesome as is her blog. Check her out!

I won a Naked Palette, a S'well water bottle, Bath and Body Works Candle and Ghirdelli Peppermint Candy! I can't wait to get my hands on this. 

Thanks Meg.

Although my husband and I have decided we are not buying Christmas gifts for one another this year I can still dream about some of the goodies a gal would like. Between only working 32 hours a week, our very large families, and Jack's birthday coming up in January money is more than just tight this holiday season. Although I would love to spend away on all of our favorite things it is the smart decision. So here is my virtual wish list.

Wish list by kj2380 featuring Victoria's Secret

Lush Products- I am in love with their organic products! They make my skin feel refreshed and amazing.

Personalized iPhone Case- My Otterbox is great but I'd like to personalize my phone with a picture of my favorite little man.

Cardigans- Since having Jack all I find myself wearing are open front cardigans.  They are my favorite way of hiding all of my imperfections.

Victoria's Secret Gift Card- I haven't done much of anything nice for myself in quite some time. You may laugh at me when I say my last pedicure was. It may be nice to treat myself to something special.

Stella and Dot Charm Necklace- I would love to wear all of my favorite things around my neck. I adore the Stella and Dot Charm necklace. I'd probably add the number 5 for Jack's birthday, garnet for his birthstone, his initial and a mom charm.

Pregnancy Journal- I made one last year through Shutterfly and I've actually been hinting for my husband to buy it for me. I did just receive a free code so I may be getting this and wrapping it for myself!


I have to admit it would be nice to get a little something but it's much more important to me to see all the great things that Jack and our family enjoying the magic of the Christmas season.
