Five on Friday, Vol. 10

Happy Friday!
Linking up today with the wonderful Christina, Darci, Natasha, and April

{O N E}

Charlie the Christmas Tree is up and decorated! It's been fun decorating the apartment together for our first married Christmas. My mom has been doing a huge fancy tree for years now, so it was fun to pull out some of my old childhood ornaments, that I haven't seen in years, and use those to decorate our tree.

{T W O}

We sent out all our Christmas cards this past week! As much as I love all the adorable options from tinyprints and minted, it just wasn't in the budget this year. Instead, I designed the card on picmonkey and printed them from zazzle. We opted to send postcards, so we just wrote a message on the back and they were done! It was so much fun designing the card myself, and I've already started thinking about different designs for next years card!

I've mentioned on here a bunch that I'm a self confessed Starbucks addict. Grande skinny vanilla latte is my jam! We got a Starbucks Verismo as a wedding present, so I've been making lattes in the morning to try and satisfy my caffeine fix. Let's be real though, it just hasn't been the same... until now! This week I found this wonderfulness! Now I can bring the skinny vanilla back into my latte! All is right in the world again :)

{F O U R}

I want so badly to share with y'all all the incredibleness that is this drink, but I can't... yet. Trust me when I say it's completely worth the wait and totally game changing!

{F I V E}

I. Can't. Wait. Unfortunately I couldn't watch it last night because we were at James' work Christmas party, but you better believe I recorded it and will be camping out on the couch today to watch it!
"The hills are alive..."
The husband is so excited to hear me singing these songs all weekend! Be glad you're just reading :)


We have a busy/fun weekend plan with Christmas parties and family!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

  5. Oh my gosh, I just LOVE that you designed your own cards, Taylor. Ryan and I want to send out wedding announcements after the big day since our wedding is so small, but they're so expensive. Maybe this is what we'll do instead?!
