today's gift guide is for tweens and teens. i have a couple of them in my house and i find that they are by far the hardest to buy for. they're always outgrowing something that they once loved and played with for years, discovering something new that is completely foreign to us or starting a new collection of sorts. as tricky as it is, it can be done. here are a few of my suggestions...
no. 01 / ukulele, $45. no. 02 / the mysterious benedict society
more ideas for tweens and teens.
worn / oxford blouse, ace&jig. skinny skinny jeans in blue hill wash, madewell. rings , another feather. bangle bracelet, another feather. lonny boots, madewell.
today's gift guide is for all the special ladies in your life, or maybe you will find a little something for yourself. many of these things are on my christmas wishlist or things that i have and love, and think would make great gifts...
no. 01 / smudge trio, $12. no. 02 / abj glassworks jewelry box, $65-$220. no. 03 / linda mccartney: life in photographs
the big kids came home last night. it snowed while we slept and everyone was surprised to see a wintery blanket of snow covering the yard this morning. we don't get a lot of it here in nashville, so it's pretty exciting when sticks to the ground. the local schools are closed today, which i find funny. i grew up in boulder and remember school being cancelled only once, when i was a sophomore. that was due to several feet of snow, not a couple of inches. i suppose people in the south aren't prepared for it.
we all bundled up and ran outside to play. julian couldn't find his gloves so he put socks on his hands. ha! afterwards we came inside to warm up with hot cocoa and marshmallows. since school was cancelled, we decided to have a "snow day" too and are watching christmas movies. home alone, elf, a christmas story, national lampoon's christmas vacation... we've got all the good ones.
the only member of our family who is not particularly fond of the snow is frances. a friend of ours gave us this little pink sweater for her, which we put on before taking her out this morning. she does not like it one bit and will not go potty. anyone have any tips on how to get a pup to go when it's cold and wet outside?
have a great day!
