My kids officially start their winter break today – one week away from Christmas AND Chanukah, two weeks away from New Years, it’s such a cliche…but the days are truly flying by!

Thankfully the tree is up and the stockings are hung! Head to Instagram stories to see a peek of this.:)

I’ve done quite a bit of shopping and not nearly enough wrapping…how ’bout you?

Progress Peeks: Our New House

Next week marks the first day of winter and the shortest day of the year. With the sun setting around four thirty in the afternoon every day around here, it’s no coincidence that most of the updates at our house lately have involved lighting.
The new lamp in our sitting area in the master bedroom is my favorite. It adds the perfect pop of color in this neutral room – not to mention some much needed light! The bonus is that it was on sale when I bought it…and it still is here!
Over in my office, things are still quite dark after the sun goes down…but this mid century inspired floor lamp is helping quite a bit.
That’s it since the last update in October. I still have a few bigger projects left to do, mainly our finished attic area…hoping to tackle that room in the new year.

The Best Monogram Gift Ideas

Everyone loves gifts that are personal and practical, which is why I always like to give a little reminder that the time to order your monogram gifts for the holidays is now. Some of our most popular items at zhush.com are the monogram pieces like this necklace, these mugs, these stroller blankets and these pillow shams. (For questions regarding the order to place the recipients initials, be sure to check out this post all about monogram etiquette).

In addition to the monogram gifts we have at zhush, I’ve rounded up a few more fabulous finds. Some of which I already own. And a few more I’ll be giving as gifts this year…

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10
Monogram gifts for everyone on your list. Why not tackle your gift list early this year?
1. Monogram catchall: A great gift for the hard to shop for men in your life.
2. Monogram mug: A fun idea for a teacher or co worker.
3. Monogram flannel PJ bottoms: Love these so much, thinking all three of my kids will be seeing these under the tree.
4. Monogram pom pom key chain: Perfect for your sister, sister in law or friend that’s like a sister to you.
5. Monogram guest towels: Fun order ahead hostess gift idea.
6. Monogram luggage tag: Idea gift for almost anyone.
7. Monogram cosmetic case: College kids, cousins, babysitters, this gift is truly thoughtful.
8, Monogram needlepoint flask: Your brother, boyfriend, husband or best friend will thank you.
9. Monogram signet ring: Personal favorite (this one’s going on my own list).
10. Monogram dog collar: Now that we’re dog owners, thinking we need to include Cosmo this year-so smart to have your cell phone number stitched right on to the collar!
