-We will be driving home from Jacksonville on NYE this year. :/


3. Name a book we should all read come January?

Wearing My New Glasses Like Zooey Dechanel (Firmoo Review)

I have worn glasses since kindergarten. Yep, I was THAT kid…frizzy hair, glasses, blah, blah, blah. I have worn contacts since I was 12 years old and prefer to wear them over glasses most of the time, but sometimes my eyes need a break. They get tired, too. When Firmoo contacted me to review a pair of their glasses, I literally had zero expectations. Like most people, I have ordered glasses online before and they were cheap and fell apart within a couple of months. It was a disappointing experience. HOWEVER, when I received my glasses from Firmoo, I was extremely impressed with the quality.

I’ve been wanting some “Zooey Dechanel” glasses for a while now because (aside from Lorelei Gilmore) she is my idol. I love her. So of course I chose these…

I know, I know, I look exactly like her.
A little about Firmoo…
Firmoo is an online glasses company selling the latest fashion in glasses and sunglasses, prescription and non-prescription. They are extremely affordable and great quality. Even better? They are now offering YOU a first pair free of charge. You only have to pay shipping. You can’t beat free. You just can’t.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Firmoo.
*Disclaimer: I received these glasses as compensation for an honest review.

Coffee Punch anyone?

A few weeks ago, I promised I’d post my mother’s coveted coffee punch recipe in my Sunday Social post. I can promise you, you will fall in love. I can’t ever get enough of this coffee punch. She makes it for our Christmas party every year, and for my family on Christmas morning. Okay, on to the recipe…

Ingredients:

1) 2oz. jar of instant coffee (decaf or caffeinated)
1) gallon of milk (we use 2% for this recipe)
1) 16oz. can of Hershey’s chocolate syrup
1) half gallon of french vanilla ice cream
(optional) 1/4 cup of sugar (we only use this sometimes, it is pretty sweet without it).

Directions:

Pour instant coffee into a large bowl. Boil about a cup and a half of water and pour it over the coffee, stir to dissolve. Slowly pour in chocolate syrup and milk. Stir well. Scoop 6 to 8 scoops of ice cream and plop it in the bowl. Refrigerate until you are ready to serve. Ice cream will melt on top and make it extra delicious. Before serving, put a few more scoops of ice cream in the punch. Ta Da! Done! and enjoy…

This is my favorite “holiday” drink, although I could possibly drink it every day.

WARNING: you may gain 10lbs.

A Tacky PJ Christmas Party

Every year, my parents host a Christmas party for our entire family. There are quite a few of us so it is always really crazy, loud and so much fun. We normally vote on a theme each year (tacky, pj, etc.) but this year, the girls wanted to do tacky while the boys wanted PJ’s, so my genius cousin came up with the idea to do Tacky PJ! Ergo:


We ate tacos, played games, opened gifts and laughed…a lot. 

Reindeer relay game.

I love my sister and cousins!

Our little family! 🙂

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all!

Today, Ryan and I are laying around in our PJ’s, watching Christmas movies all day. Tonight we are planning to go look at Christmas lights, and then open our gifts to each other (Eekk).

Tomorrow we have a busy day making our rounds. We will go to my parent’s house tomorrow morning and have brunch with them then we will go to Ryan’s parent’s house to celebrate with them tomorrow afternoon/night. 
I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! What are your plans?

Ornament Swap 2012

A few weeks ago, I signed up to participate in my first ever ornament swap. Little did I know, I would make such a precious friend. Over the past few weeks I have gotten to know Barb who blogs over at One Love  One Life One Family. She is such a precious person and that came out through her gift. Barb truly went above and beyond. Not only did she buy me a Starbucks ornament (which was all too perfect for me) but she also MADE an ornament, bought me a Starbucks gift card, and Christmas tissues. How thoughtful is she? Please stop by her blog and say hi!

Thanks again, Barb!
