With all of our friends out-of-town doing Christmas-y things, Andrew and I, in typical Jew fashion, will undoubtedly be spending a significant amount of time at the movies (and at Chinese restaurants) this weekend!
These are the six flicks that we’re thinking about: Little Fockers, Somewhere, The Tourist, The Fighter, Country Strong and True Grit
Any recommendations? What do you guys think looks good?

Happy Saturday Morning!

I’m en route to NYC for the night to bid my best friend Anna farewell before she moves to San Diego in a couple weeks. I’ve never been to Manhattan during Christmas time, so I’m really excited for this visit! On our agenda for today:

  • Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center
  • Holiday Market at Union Square
  • window display at Macy’s
  • quick jaunt through FAO Schwartz
  • seeing this show
  • yummy dinner surprise

Lots to do in one day, especially after a 4-hour bus ride from DC, but I’m up for it!

Hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the weekend!

How adorable are these Christmas cake pops by Bakerella?
While mine never come out quite as cute as hers, they’re still fun to make and everyone loves them. Last year I put a few in pretty treat bags as ‘a little something’ for my coworkers and they were a huge hit.

Holiday Craft: Homemade Bows!

These are so easy to make and look great on brown paper packages! All you need is a pair of scissors, the paper of your choosing, and a package of little metal brads to hold them together. Find the tutorial here.

These are so fun! Definitely making some using all the magazines we have laying around here. Awesome.
