My Favorite Things: Lady’s Christmas Buying Guide

November 24, 2017 by My Farmhouse Table Leave a Comment

My Favorite Things: Lady’s Christmas Buying Guide

Hope y’all had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday and today brings the joys of Christmas decorating, leftover eating, football watching, and gift buying! I used to do the whole Black Friday shopping as a fun little excursion, but when retail stores started encroaching on Turkey Day it lost the luster for me. Plus, because everyone has busy lives, on-line shopping has become a lifesaver. No crowded check out lines, no trying to find a parking spot, and lets be super honest, no changing out of my yoga pants (that have never seen yoga). This is a list of My Favorite Things: Lady’s Christmas Buying Guide to get your holiday shopping kicked off!

My Favorite Things: Lady's Christmas Buying Guide My Farmhouse Table Farmgirl Farm Wife Farmher Christmas Shopping

My Favorite Things: Boss Lady Coffee Mug

I saw this mug a couple years ago and mentioned to my best friend how much I loved it! Guess what I received for Christmas that year? Yep! A “Boss Lady” Coffee Mug.

It’s a great way to get the day started. And how beautiful is the lettering?

My Favorite Things: Flannel Shirt

Now I realize a flannel shirt is not everyone’s cup of tea. But personally, I am a big lover of lumberjack couture. After years of seeing Duluth’s commercials, I finally broke down and bought a “Free Swingin Flannel Shirt“.

What I love most about these shirts (and I do love these shirts- I now have four in a variety of colors!) is that they are extremely comfortable. These flannels have room to move through the arms and chest, are warm but not hot, and the perfect shirt to wear to town or doing chores on the farm.

My Favorite Things: Girl’s Night Out

One of my favorite gift ideas, isn’t even something that can be wrapped. I love giving the gift of experiences.

Make a gift certificate, throw in some money, and attach it all to a great bottle of wine.
Plan a night where the lady in your life can go out on the town with a group of friends and you stay behind, man the house and take care of the kids. Believe me- This gift will be greatly loved and appreciated.

My Favorite Things: Muck Boots

I don’t know a single farmgirl who hasn’t at one point or another done chores in a pair of pajama pants and muck boots.Believe me the cows don’t care what I look like and changing into jeans for 2 AM calving checks in winter just doesn’t sound pleasing. You throw on a heavy coat, stuff your pj bottoms into these muck boots and away you go.

My Favorite Things: Alex and Ani Bracelet

Along with giving me my beloved, Boss Lady Mug, my best friend Bree also introduced me to Alex and Ani bracelets. They come in a variety of designs and finishes but this cross one is a favorite of mine.

My Favorite Things: The Pioneer Woman Cookbook

I’ve been a huge fan of The Pioneer Woman for years. I started reading Ree’s blog and have grown to collect all of the cookbooks she has released.Ree’s latest cookbook, “The Pioneer Woman Cooks! Come and Get It!: Simple, Scrumptious Recipes for Crazy Busy Lives” is a wonderful addition to a cookbook collection. What I love most about her recipes is there are step by step instructions, the ingredients are readily available, and family approved.

My Favorite Things: Capturing the Memories

I love taking pictures it doesn’t matter if I’m doing it on my iPhone or on my DSLR camera.Giving a loved one the ability to take and print pictures is something that they will cherish for years to come.

Another great idea, is purchasing a gift certificate to a local photographer. That way you force mom to be on the other side of the camera and in the pictures too!

I’m incredibly blessed that in my job I have the I’m incredibly blessed that in my job I have the opportunity to meet and get to know many different groups of people from every walk of life, but occasionally… there are certain ones who find a special place in your heart.

A gentleman I’ve been working with sent met copies of this in the mail yesterday and to say I (ugly) cried is probably an understatement. 

I’m not one to push politics (especially on social media) but all I want to say is this is why history matters. Your not going to find this sort of thing written in text books… but it is in the hearts and minds of a generation quickly fading away.

What is happening in the world is not just “news”. These are people’s lives. See the pain and affect this sort of war still has on a generation 75 plus years later. 

Context:
Picture 1- Poem written by my clients grandfather sometime after his son (client’s father) was KIA in WWII. The line that got me was… “It is just a sweet memory that chants the refrain… I’m glad I touched shoulders with you.” 😭 I think if you have ever lost someone dear to you… you can understand that line ❤️

Picture 2-3- Note from client to me on a copy of his dad’s obituary. I think it’s easy to sense how this sort of loss had an affect on multiple generations of a family.

It’s no secret I love to travel… and one of my It’s no secret I love to travel… and one of my favorite ways to experience new cultures is through the food.

So until I can finally make it to Italy for myself, I guess making delicious pasta dishes at home like this Authentic Carbonara will have to hold me over. Link in profile.
Buy yourself the flowers. Light the ‘good’ ca Buy yourself the flowers.

Light the ‘good’ candle.

Put on a spritz of your favorite perfume, not because you are going out, but because it makes you feel special.

Open the expensive bottle of wine that you’ve been saving for the ‘perfect’ occasion, and drink it for no particular reason at all. 

Stop saying “we need to get together” to a dear friend and then never actually making plans.
Leave your sweatpants on, messy bun in, and just BE with each other. Curl up on the couch with their dogs, kids, etc and enjoy some leftover Chinese food while catching up on your favorite shows.

Life is messy and real. 
Stop living FOR the perfect and just LIVE.
Don’t wait.
Make the memories WITHIN the mess. 

That’s the mindset I’m trying to live in these days, and you know what? 

I’m happier for it! ❤️
Anyone else super excited to see the Olympics back Anyone else super excited to see the Olympics back?! 🙋🏻‍♀️
