Hello friends! Happy Friday! How was your week? Ours was good. Lots of fun events with the kids and we're going on a crazy adventure this weekend.

I can't believe Christmas is just a few days away. How are we feeling, friends?? Are you ready? I totally feel like it snuck up on us this year, and even though I think I've gotten a lot done, I still feel like I have so much to do. I try to just take a step back, take a breath and remember the real reason for the season and not get too wrapped up in the stress behind it all (even though it can be a lot). We got this, friends!

Friendly reminder: it's not too late to join this year's Favorite Things giveaway! There are LOTS of amazing prizes to be won – the winner will receive over $1,800 worth of candy.

It's time for the weekly Faves Friday party. Here I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your favorites too, so please highlight something you love in the comments section below.
