Everyone says men are the hardest people to shop for, but I disagree! I love finding fun stuff for my husband. I’ve rounded up some of the best gifts I’ve given him over the past few years along with some new items that he may or may not receive (shhh!…don’t tell).

I love putting my son’s gift list together every year. He has such specific interests now and always has great ideas for us. He’s always been the kind of kid who really enjoys every gift he gets. I put together a list of some of his favorite things plus a bunch of items he’s hoping Santa will bring this year!The Kiddos are out of school so it’s officially summer at our house! We are ready for pool time, sunshine, and long days. No matter how hot it gets, this roundup of some of my favorite outdoor pieces will make sure you have the coolest yard on the block!

I love shopping for my daughter. She is so much fun and into all things girly! I put together a gift guide of some of her favorite things along with a few new items on her wish list this year! Enjoy!

1. Christmas Ornaments - This 6-pack or gold star Christmas ornaments will add a little more sparkle to your tree.

2. Chunky Knit Blanket - This cozy blanket is a must for Christmas snuggles! Plus, you can keep it out for the winter after you store away all the Christmas decorations.

3. Kingswood Fir Pencil - I ordered this tree last year for a tiny corner in our living room. The size and scale is great for small Capitol Hill rowhouses!

4. Throw Pillow - This cute tasseled throw pillow from Hearth & Hand™ is perfect if you want to try a non-traditional color palette this year.

5. Pewter Jar Candle - This holiday candle goes with any decor and looks great even after you put your decorations away.

6. Nutcrackers - I am a sucker for the Nutcracker! I have a small collection of them and I love adding to it each year.

7. White Tree Candles - These Crate and Barrel Christmas Tree candles are almost too cute to burn!

8. Mini Red Berry Wreath - I love this classic red berry wreath from Crate and Barrel and the idea of bringing some of the outside in.

It’s the moooost wonderful tiiiiime of the year!!! The kids are going back to school! It’s like Christmas and the New Year all wrapped up into one big mom (and dad!) holiday! Those first few weeks when the kids are back at school and I have six glorious, uninterrupted hours a day to myself are some of the best weeks of the year!

The Kiddos are out of school so it’s officially summer at our house! We are ready for pool time, sunshine, and long days. No matter how hot it gets, this roundup of some of my favorite outdoor pieces will make sure you have the coolest yard on the block!
