we headed out to downtown franklin last thursday evening with steven’s parents for the tree lighting in their cute little town square! and given the fact that we just started on the first couple of episodes of gilmore girls [right from the very beginning, whoa! flashback!], i was harboring all kinds of stars hollow vibes over there. downtown franklin is precious and quaint and is kind of like a trip back in time with its small town cuteness. and adding a big, tall christmas tree is perfection!
[…although, literally all of my references about a lit tree just sound like the tree was extremely intoxicated that night so… there’s that!]
also, this is the first year m has written her own letter to santa claus and oh. my. gosh. cutest thing on this planet! i’m so proud, i can’t even handle it! we mailed it off and we will see how that goes!! 😉
anyway, here are some other little internet things of lately!!! and really… i should just start calling these links that i get from my mom, because that’s where i often get them! ha! [i love you, mom!]
better than arm knitting so amazing!! my mom sent me this after my sis and i both mentioned learning to arm knit! 🙂
the christmas season tv line up!!!! every year i am always trying to figure out when all the special charlie brown episodes on, as well as other classics that i make me feel all nostalgic! this is mighty helpful, yes?
horses do the mannequin challenge oh, hello, dream world! yep, another stolen from my mom. had to!!!
looks like some girl scout cookies are going non-GMO! yay! not thin mints, yet. boooo. but samoas! i know those are popular!
“don’t follow your passion, but always take it with you.” i always loved dirty jobs, but these days i want to KISS mike rowe for all his thoughts… and this is one of them!! i actually find it quite validating, because i feel like a lot of people in our generation are struggling under the pressure of what we’re told these days: to find success in what you’re passionate about. but if it were that easy, there would be a whole lot of martha stewarts [i’d be one of them!], a whole lot of american idols [like he said!] and probably not very many factory workers making all the items we order on a whim with the money we have that was probably made from a great occupation that may or may not be that of a lifelong dream. i also love getting back to the idea that no matter what you’re doing, you can still bring you passion and knock it out of the park! i seriously just watched a hallmark movie the other night about an aspiring chef who was thrilled to work as a dishwasher to get her start, and i thought it was such a refreshing thing to portray. and hey! if you do already have your dream job, what a huge blessing, right?!!
the blushing bean is my total fav decor on the ‘gram right now! especially with all the seasonal gorge!!
m has been asking to do cosmic kids yoga every single day lately and it really is so awesome! i love that she loves it. and those stories are seriously creative!
speaking of yoga, i got these goddess leggings for my birthday and. now. i’m. in. love! [aaanother thank you to my mom. i should just give her my blog.]
xoxoxo
Gilmore Girls!! Ahhh I started rewatching a couple weeks ago to get ready for the new ones 🙂 Watched that show with my mom allll the time and love it! Happy to see Maddalena is liking the Cosmic Yoga! Mia hasnt done it in a while, we need to start that up again now that we need more indoor activities with the weather change…also those leggings are now officially on my list to Santa 😉
yesss she requests the cosmic yoga all the time! and you are so right… perfect for winter!!!
My cousins live in Franklin 🙂 It's where the cool kids live! :p
haha 😉
I might need to start this Gilmore Girls thing! I don't know how I missed that boat. And hey to small towns and tree lightings! Things dreams are made of!
i feel like i grew up watching it, but not committedly, you know?? somehow i kept up so now it's a fun and nostalgic thing for sure, but we are starting from the very beginning, nonetheless!!
