My Top 5
Everyone needs ideas right about now for presents, right?? And I'm assuming you want to do it on a (dare I say the word) budget. Well, here are my top 5 suggestions!
5. A unique picture frame, like this one! Personalize it with a super-cute picture!
4. Greeting cards! Everyone needs them, and these are FABULOUS!
3. Self-made wall art! Every wall deserves a facelift now and then... paint your own canvas here!
2. For all the wine lovers out there, a wine membership is always a great idea!
1. My most prized possession... that I take everywhere! I am thoroughly a believer of giving my personal favorites to other people as gifts! You know people are going to need a new planner for the new year! Try this one in Blue Rhapsody from Vera Bradley. It's my favorite, and let's just say I'm picky!

Happy Thanksgiving!
I know this is a little late, but I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving! I spent mine with my beautiful family, including the cutest-stinking-bright-eyed-pink-cheeks-baby around! I hope you had LOTS of turkey and took a good, long nap!

Passing It On
When I moved this past May, I made a promise to myself that I was going to stick with the same duvet cover all the way through grad school! If you know me, you also know this is a challenge!! Hopefully, this promise will combat my obsession with change/pottery barn! I have spotted the cutest duvet cover from pottery barn and since I am not allowing myself to change mine, someone else has to change theirs!! Guess what??... I'm picking you!

Fun Facts About Us
Here are some fun facts about our bodies a la Heather Long from this website!
The Brain, the brain, the center of the chain (only the true baby sitter's club fans know the rest of this tune)-
Your brain weighs about three pounds and all but 10 ounces of it is water. So, technically speaking, we're all water heads and no one is an airhead.
If you stub your toe, it takes only 1/50th of a second for your brain to register the pain.
We're all dim bulbs, because our brains use less power than 100-watt bulb.
Flex Your Face-
It can take about 200,000 frowns to make a permanent wrinkle. So the next time you notice a wrinkle, smile and stop frowning, 200,000 frowns is more than enough!
We're all Pinocchio's. The cartilage in our noses doesn't stop growing. We can expect to grow ½ inch longer and wider as we get older.
If we're freckled, they stop appearing usually around the age of 19 or 20.
To speak just one word, you use 70 muscles - just one word - think about the workout someone doing a filibuster uses!
We have more than 200 taste buds on each of the small bumps on our tongue. 200! So when we're savoring flavor, we're definitely savoring.
Women have a far more developed sense of smell than men do and women really notice the difference in their sense of smell during pregnancy and after they've given birth to one child. According to some women, their sense of smell grows more acute with each child they have.
Our Bodies
When we breathe, the air passes through our nose at about 4 miles per hour and we breathe roughly 400 gallons of air every hour. It's a good thing air is free.
We have about 18 square feet of skin. Our bones are about four times stronger than steel and they can endure 24,000 pounds of pressure per square inch. And it takes about 150 days for a nail to grow from our cuticles to our fingertips.
