Happy Sunday! It’s not technically a holiday weekend but it sure does feel like it! My parents and sister arrived in Charleston this weekend early for Thanksgiving and it’s already been so fun all being together. This afternoon, Edwin and I are shooting a little something for the holidays with my girlfriend Hannah and then my family is off to Melfi’s for dinner. My brother, Edwin, and I have all been since we live here but the rest of the family hasn’t and I’m so excited for them to try it!
One more thing to note: I listed a bunch of new pieces yesterday on Poshmark so take a look! Keep reading for my Weekend Reads, No. 84 complete with a Mexican hot cocoa holiday recipe, a grown-up party game, 20% off the beauty line I wear everyday, the easiest “homemade” holiday gift, different ways to help those affected by the fires in California, my houndstooth favorites, everything you need to know before insuring an engagement ring, and more!
Weekend Reads, No. 84:
1. Easily my favorite blogger who talks about motherhood (she’s not a full on mom blogger, so I’m not labeling her as that, ha!), just relaunched her site to be focused more on what’s important to her – family! – and it looks amazing! Plus, have you ever seen cuter family photos?! (helloadamsfamily.com)
2. How delicious does this Mexican hot cocoa for the holidays recipe look? YUM! (withlovefromkat.com)
3. The sweetest grown-up party game that will make you laugh, cry, the whole thing. (acupofjo.com)
