Good morning friends!  We’re midway through this week and I don’t know about you, but I feel like it’s taken me the last two days to get my bearings again after Thanksgiving break!  We’ve had a lot going on and I’m co-hosting a “Favorite Things” party with my girlfriends tomorrow, so I’ll be getting ready for that today!  Should be so much fun to see what everyone brings- our limit was $25 so I’ll share the ideas with you after the party.

The rest of us each personally scoured the internet by category for our favorite items we know and love and swear by to make your holiday shopping easier this year.  I was tasked with creating a gift list for the fitness enthusiast,

Thank you so much for your kind comments on yesterday’s Winter Wonderland post! One of the coolest things about blogging these last 6+ years has been making friends with other bloggers and YOU!
