It’s no secret I like to prepare for Christmas early (or really, all year) so that I can relax and enjoy the beauty of the season all December long. I find your Christmas tree is best enjoyed sitting with a cup of coffee, Frank Sinatra singing carols in the background, while lounging in darling Christmas pajamas. I’m always surprised at how many women don’t own “real” pajamas. You need this cuteness in your life! Here are some darling options I rounded up. Unlike kids’ Christmas jammies, moms can wear theirs for years to come.

Tuesday Treats: Get a Jump on Christmas!

September 25, 2018Christmas, Tuesday TreatsAmy WileyComment

I know, I know. It’s only September… September 25th… which means Christmas is just three months away! I love Christmas so much, and I do my best each year to set myself up for less stress and more enjoyment of the season. My trick? I try to do a little Christmas prep on the 25th of each month. That way I have less work in December and more time to just sit and enjoy looking at the tree and being with my family.

Here are a few things you can get now to both be prepared… and to keep yourself from missing out. The early bird gets the Christmas worm!

Dated Frame Ornaments

I love dated ornament frames because they are an easy way to add personal touches to your tree AND easily remember the dates year to year. These are excellent grandparent gifts as well if you add photos! Buy them now, because they tend to sell out.

Neiman-Marcus Annual Platter

I’ve shared the Neiman-Marcus annual platter before, because it’s one of the oldest tricks on my book. It’s the absolute perfect one-size-fits-all gift. It’s a great price, it comes beautifully boxed, and it can check that “has everything” person off your list.

Advent Calendars

Lego Advent Calendars are SUCH a treat and I love that they offer something besides candy each day. These go fast, too, in my experience. I love that their are versions perfect for my son and my daughter.

Personalized Gift Tags

Personalized gift tags add so much elegance to your gifts. Not to mention, they are a timesaver when you are trying to wrap that mound of presents! I love these letterpressed gift tags. Ordering now means you’ll have them in time to wrap gifts whenever you please.

Those are a few of the tricks I have up my sleeve… now back to Halloween preparations!

Movie Night: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

December 22, 2017Movie Night, ChristmasAmy Wiley2 Comments

This is probably my favorite Christmas movie of all time: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer! It's so nostalgic and it ups my Christmas cheer every time I watch it. When Pottery Barn Kids came out with a Rudolph tabletop line my head almost fell off.

This table was too fun to set up! I found the Rudolph candy at World Market.

My parents gave me this tablecloth last year and I could not wait to bust it out.

I'm pretty sure I let out an actual squeal when I spotted these at my local grocery... Rudolph mugs holding plush a Rudolph and Clarice.

I used the mugs for pasta because I love all the holiday pastas. They would also work for soup... or hot chocolate!

I found this pack of bookmarks at Target for a dollar. We each got a couple to use while we read over Christmas break.

These beautiful cakes were so simple for dessert but so pretty.

We enjoyed hot chocolate during the movie. The white mugs are from Pottery Barn Kids and the red ones I found with a random hot chocolate set at the grocery a few years ago. I'm telling you... the grocery store is a great place to find movie night merch.
