Give List Week 1: The Perfect Prezzie for Puppies!

I love to shower my puppies with kisses, treats and, of course, presents! The one thing that makes them go wild with joy (other than going bye-bye) is snuggling up in a seriously cozy nook — preferably on my lap, but they're willing to settle with the Lambie Sleep Blanket from Bath & Body Works.

I look forward to this collection's return every year for the chance to stock up on the latest edition of puppy-approved comfort. Even though they can't unwrap it with their sweet little paws, it's getting wrapped up in it that's the fun part! PLUS — this year's blanket is even larger than last year so they can have a Cuddle Fest for miles! 

And, sometimes, when their noses poke out from their cocoon of comfort, they look like wolves in sheep's clothing...but sweet, cuddly wolves, of course.

Wish List Week 1: No Glove, No Love

Simplicity (in my mind) is overrated — I'm a FRILL seeker! While Little Miss Mommy is wishing for basics (I ♥ those violet gloves from Saks), my basics are anything but...

My wish list is topped with these pink suede, metallic polka dotted, ruffle trimmed dreamy gloves from Anthropologie. Because baby, it's cold outside and I don't just want to be cozy — I want to be C-U-T-E! Who wouldn't be shrieking with surprise (and delight) at the unwrapping of these lovelies? Somebody show me some GLOVE!

Little Miss Mommy's Wish List Week 1: Brilliant Basics

This year it's all about the basics...with a new little one in the house I'm concentrating on all the little things that make a big impact (and keep on giving long after Santa's made his big trip around the planet!).

Like a great pair of leather driving gloves!

Love this pair smoke grey pair from Banana Republic (a chic twist on basic black!)

Or, add a punch of color with this sexy, violet pair from every girl's favorite, Saks!

The BEST basic brown I've found (lined in cashmere no less — and quite the bargain!).

Thank you L.L. Bean!
