Are there any other unfortunate souls out there who were born in December? I am quite certain it is the worst possible month to have a birthday. Interestingly enough, several amazing women close to me were born in December: My sister-in-law, Nate’s mother, and my sister were all December babies. I think the hardest part of having a birthday in December is not the obvious and superficial (combined presents, gifts wrapped in Christmas paper, etc), it’s actually how busy people are. I’m so blessed to have great friends who always remember my birthday and make certain I feel their love, regardless of where I am or what they are doing. Last year, one of my best friends sent Nate loads of decorations and pictures to set up for my birthday and I nearly cried! There’s still a week and a half until my actual birthday, but that hasn’t stopped me from dreaming of a few treats I wouldn’t mind waking up to. (Although, in reality, the bed we recently indulged in is going to likely suffice as everyone’s present for everything this year.) And since it is December, maybe you’ll find something for someone on another type of gift list … or yourself.
{One: A modern dish. Two: The leaves of this ring represent peace and would be perfect for my right hand. Three: For an extra glam morning coffee. Four: I’ve been vying for this purse for years! Five: A needed addition to our cookware repertoire in bright white. Six: For above the bathtub (dreamy, right?). Seven: An upgraded lens. Eight: A server to match these sweet dessert spoons. Nine: A cozy wrap for nearly any outfit. Ten: This petite pot. Eleven: A new camera strap that looks like a scarf.}
