As I grow older (and have more children, ha!) the idea of receiving gifts at Christmas time seems to pale greatly in comparison to giving and watching my children receive gifts. So anybody reading this who was contemplating getting me a gift (which, I'm sure was soooo many of you...) DON'T. Seriously. Just get my cute kids gifts. Watching them open and enjoy their presents is so much more fulfilling!! That being said, it's always fun to make a wish list of fun things I'd like to have someday! ;) Here are some things I've been eyeing up lately...
Chewbeads Waverly Necklace - Nothing says, "I'm a mom" like some 100% silicone teething jewelry! But really...it will be awhile before I can again wear my favorite Lisa Leonard and Urban Legend jewelry. So, instead, I figured something cute and functional would be great! ;)
1canoe2 Letterpress Calendar - This will be my third year with this little calendar. It's so cute. Now let's hope I can find my fun little wood stump holder (which is packed away in some box) by January... ;)
Land of Nod Magnificent 5 - I'm all about numbers and letters. I have my little "E" collection (again, lost in some box) and I have one 5 sign. I think I need to add to the collection. This one would be perfect...until, of course, we have another kid, hahaha. I'm so funny.
Emily McDowell print - I LOVE this. I saw it on Pinterest awhile back, and it's so, so, so true. It would be perfect for my new scrapbooking space, I think! :)
Crate and Barrel Table Runner - this thing is ridiculously expensive - but so pretty! I would put it on top of the piano (which arrived at our house today, hooray!) to brighten up our living room!
Midwest LIving subscription - I feel like a tad bit dorky for wanting/liking this as much as I do ;) But seriously - this magazine is great...everything is "local" and it's full of so many great ideas and info!!
Toms Ballet Flats - I really love my Toms shoes - second only to my Converse. ;) I've never owned a pair of their ballet flats, but they are super cute and hopefully just as comfy as the originals!
Housey Home Nightlight - LOVE this. It's so cute. My only fear is that my kids would break it...because they do that...a lot. ;)
The Mac + Chese Cookbook - Do I really even need to explain?! ;) There are also a lot of books I'd like to read (you know, because I have sooo much free time right now) on my READ pinterest board! ;)
So, there you have it - my wish list - minus the 8000 things I want for the new house!! What's on your wish list this year??
