Last year carried a lot of weight and sadness around the holidays. We lost our 13 year old dog Bailey, missed grandparents and spent about a month being sick. It was pretty miserable, so this year I want a REDO!! I’m excited to see my Dad again for the first time in 2 years. My daughter will be performing in her first Nutcracker and we have so may fun events to attend plus did I mention our new PUPPY!
If you are like me and ready for an epic holiday season then you need some cute clothes for all those fun events and LOFT is filled with amazing styles no matter what you have planned.

First thing that happens after Halloween is the first batch of Gingerbread cookie dough gets made. If you need this perfectly soft, delicious recipe head to this post. Last year I finally replaced my stand mixer after several years of the speed being broken (aka it was either off or full speed!)
So of course when I saw this adorable Gingerbread Men sweater from LOFT I had to have it! It’s super soft and not too fitted great for baking with the kids.

Cider is all for it and said, where are my cookies?!!

Then I start thinking about holiday parties! For many years we hosted my husband’s management team and their kids at our house. Two years ago we even had an amazing Santa come to our home and entertained the kids.
This year we are more on the attending list than hosting! I love a great jean, pretty top combo and with this sparkly top and coated jeans I’m both comfortable and festive. It can work for a house party, dinner party or any holiday event where a little glam is welcomed.

Finally this holiday season it’s time to spend at HOME! So funny as much as I want to get out and do all the things I feel like we missed last year there is nothing better than cozy family time. We were so blessed to have Cider our yellow lab puppy join our family a few months ago.
She has bought so much joy to our family and helped heal some of my broken heart from Bailey’s passing. I think LOFT knew that these fluffy babies have our hearts too and came out with the cutest necklaces that say “Dog Mama” or “Cat Mama”. Not to mention these cute holiday pjs with a puppy wrapped in lights made my heart swell!
