Good Bye 2014

We had another fun filled Christmas that went by way to fast.  If I am being honest 2014 went way to fast.

This time of year is always filled with a little excitement; new year, new start, new chance to reinvent yourself and a little melancholy because time marches on.  I think this is greatly intensified once you have children and you see them grown up right before your eyes.

So if you are feeling a little blue I have a way to snap you out of it...

go shopping, the sales are insane!!

Here are a few things I picked up at Anthropologie

and then Banana Republic

 who doesn't need sweaters right??

If you are starting off the new year with a new workout your in luck at lululemon

Mama needs a new pair of shoes (booties)

and a little bling

cheers to 2014

Hello December

So Thanksgiving just flew by and now we are less than 2 weeks until Christmas, how did that happen??!!

I completely overbook myself and kids the months of November and December and I absolutely love it.  There is so much to do this time of year, we can rest in January.

I hung out with my guy Andy Cohen

kicked off the Christmas season with tea at the Ritz

trimmed the tree

checked out the activities around town

did our annual big bear brunch

decorated gingerbread houses

watched my kids dance

sing

act

and play

  Been to plenty of work parties for the hubby

and my favorite shopping party for me

I've done the cookie exchange

and we have already been to 2 breakfasts with Santa

We still have so many activities,

 and I am saving the best for last

The Nutcracker

with a pre show tea with the cast mastes

Santa at the symphony

wild lights at the zoo

my annual girls Christmas dinner and gift exchange
