Hi friends! Happy Monday! How was the weekend? I hope you had an amazing one. It felt so good to be back at home and have a bit of a *normal* weekend. We’ve had so many fun events and activities lately, my body was just ready for some downtime and a bit of a reset.

Friday evening after the mastermind, the Pilot and the girls picked me up and we went straight to my cousin’s wedding in Phoenix.

They had a gorgeous ceremony and reception at the Big Tin Cotton Gin with Mexican food, great music, and a pizookie truck for dessert.

Saturday was my bday, and it was the perfect day. We went to P’s soccer game, and then I took the best nap. I woke up to Saffron Indian food, the BEST cake from Lovin’ Spoonfuls (gf confetti with chocolate frosting), and the fam came over for cake.

Afterwards, madre and nana watched the girls while the Pilot and I went to Dusk Music Festival with friends.

What do you have going on this weekend? My cousin is getting married (!), we’re meeting up with friends for a music festival, and tomorrow is my bday.

All I really want to do is hike with the fam, eat Indian food and watch a movie. Low.key.

Sharing holiday gift ideas for the kids this year! We tend to stick to the purchasing strategy of: “ Something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read.” 

Hi friends! Happy Thursday! How’s the week treating ya? It’s been a busy on over here and I’m currently in Phoenix for a mastermind trip. I’ll share more details in Fri Faves tomorrow!

I’m really excited for today’s gift guide because kiddos really bring the magic to Christmastime. I’m basically like Buddy the Elf and thought that nothing could possibly make the season more enjoyable… and then we had kids. They just magnify all of the magic of the holidays. We’re getting our holiday shopping done early, so I wanted to put some ideas out there if you’re doing the same thing.

More gift guides from this year:

For Her

For Him

When we holiday shop for the kiddos, we keep things on the simpler side. They get their Santa gifts and stocking stuffers, and then from us, we stick to the “something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read.” This checks all of the main boxes and keeps things from getting too bananas with gifts from my parents and their other relatives. [Another hack: any gifts that aren’t opened in the first couple of days are stocked away in the playroom. I bring them out on a rainy day or when the kids say they’re looking for something to do.]

Today, I’m sharing some of the things on their personal wish lists, along with tried and true favorites if you’re shopping for kids their ages (5 and almost 9) this holiday season!! I’d love to hear your kids’ gift requests in the comments and any ideas you have!
