This mattress cover is HIGH on my favorite's list! If you follow my newsletter, you'll know I get cold easily. I love that this mattress cover allows each side of the bed its own temperature control. I can sleep warm while my husband can sleep cold. 

I try to avoid these at Costco, because they are SO addicting. They'd make a great gift, or a reward to yourself. 

I had a few friends recommend this to me before I caved and tried it. I LOVE hot chocolate, but I have had to cut back for heartburn/reflux reasons. I can't do the caffeine version because of a pesky heart issue, but there are lots of caffeine options too. This feels like a warm treat, but it's better for you than hot chocolate. It's great as is, but I like to add an extra half cup of water and a half scoop of my plain collagen peptides (just to get a little more protein in).

My favorite staple earrings. I wear them almost daily. 

This is our most played game in our ginormous game collection. It's easy to learn, quick to play, and my entire family loves it. Just for reference: my youngest is eight, but she could play it at six with a little help, and my oldest is seventeen. 

This is our favorite book light. I bought it for my husband's birthday, and I've already bought two more to gift for Christmas because it's been so great.

If you're a Fablehaven lover, then you you will understand why The Adventurer's Guide to Dragonwatch is on our Christmas list this year. We're big Brandon Mull fans, and we've been waiting for this one! The series is middle-grade fantasy, some violence but not graphic, otherwise clean. I have not read this one yet.

Small Steps is my favorite read aloud to my kids ever! It's about a twelve-year-old girl and her hospital stay with Polio. It kept all of our attention and is so inspiring! My daughter thought it was strange that I added it to a Christmas guide, but it might be one you at least write down to read to your kids next year. 

Sometimes you just want a basic lipgloss that's inexpensive and feels good on your lips. NYX butter gloss is the one that stays in my purse at all times. I have the shade BLG14 Madeleine.
