holiday pretzel treats.

These are dangerously good. Your kids will love helping you make them, they're easy and festive. My kind of treat.

wishbone necklace.

Two Sisters Jewelry is celebrating the 12 days of Christmas by offering one heavily discounted piece of jewelry per day. Today is the wishbone necklace. I am very tempted. Isn't is beautiful?

a holiday tip.

Tonight I created something extraordinary. No really, I did. I took this chocolate chip cookie recipe (we've talked about it before)..

and I added some of these (I found mine at our local Fred Meyer)

The result had family and friends banging down my door. Okay maybe not banging, but my sister who doesn't even like peppermint had a few.. and I'll leave it at that.

natural pod.

Christmas shopping for Finn is proving difficult this year. He doesn't really need anything and he's not old enough to want anything, still I feel a need to have him represented under the tree.

Natural Pod has always been a favorite shopping spot. Their selection of natural and wooden toys is one of the best I've found. I think this wooden bus might be a perfect fit for Finn. Something he can use now and as he grows.

I'm also on the lookout for some great wooden blocks. Suggestions are welcome!

eleven collection {giveaway!}

Phoebe: Copper Mary Jane with chocolate elastic band and faux fur trim. $50.

Every year for Christmas I like to pick out the perfect pair of shoes for the girls. The older they get the harder I feel like it is to find shoes I like. Eleven Collection has become a go-to for me. The girls insist on wearing them all the time, thinking they are some of the most comfortable shoes they have. They're stylish, they hold up and wear well. Some of the best shoes I've found.

Aubin: chocolate brown loafer with peanut butter zig-zag accents. $45.

They have multiple styles for girls and boys in sizes ranging from 9 to 3. Made from high quality leather and naturally water resistant (a must around here) you can be sure they won't fall apart before your child outgrows them.

Today one lucky winner can wrap up a pair and put it under their tree. Just tell me which pair you would choose.

neighbor gifts.

I've made it through the first crazy week of December. Next project neighbor and teacher gifts. I'm leaning towards the homemade granola in cute jars, but then I remembered I'd bookmarked these s'more kits via twig and thistle and can't decide. I'm convinced cute packaging could make anything a good gift. What are you making/taking this holiday season?
