A Graeter's Gift

The holidays can be such a busy time, so I'm always looking for easy and unique gifts I can give my family! My parents are big ice cream fans, and we usually have an ice cream sundae bar every Christmas. That's where Graeter's comes in! They ship right to your doorstep, which makes gift giving or party planning so easy. When you order online, you can mix and match your own custom gift box of flavors. Their website makes it easy and fast to ship, and let's you select the day for your ice cream to arrive. If you use code Selective-Sweets, you can get $5 off your first order! (Must ship by Wednesday, December 13th to qualify).

Thank you to Graeter's for kindly sponsoring this post. All opinions are 100% honest and completely my own.

High Rollaway

A couple of weekends ago, Eric and I headed up to Traverse City for a wonderful weekend full of all my favorite things... scenic sights, lighthouses, wine tasting, delicious food, and a comfy hotel room watching movies in bed. It was perfect. On Friday, I got out of work, and we headed straight up north. I recently heard about this place called the High Rollaway, and knew we had to check it out, so that was first on our list. It was so pretty. I would definitely recommend if you're in the area!

"Me Time" During The Holiday Season

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Oregon Chai®. As always, opinions and text are all mine!

We’re approaching the time of year where I need to make sure I set aside some “me time” before the holiday craziness kicks in! For me, that especially means, curling up in front of a good holiday movie, in comfy pajamas, with a candle burning, and drinking a cozy warm beverage, like this delicious vanilla chai tea latte. I’ve always ordered chai lattes out and about at coffee shops, but never thought to make my own at home! I picked up Oregon Chai® “The Original” from Meijer last weekend to try it out! It’s perfect because I can create my own concoction using ingredients I love and try different recipes to mix it up a little bit for different seasons. Plus, it’s better for you than other alternatives! Ahem, coffee, ahem.

Leaves in Hillsboro

Hi friends! Popping in with a quick post on this Monday after the long weekend. Man, today was rough! I wasn't ready to get back into the groove, but here we are! Did you guys have a good holiday weekend? We sure did! We had Thanksgiving dinner at my Dad's house, did a little Black Friday shopping (went a little nuts on Old Navy's 50% off sale), saw Wonder (so cute), spent Small Business Saturday at my mom's gift shop (and added some holiday items to my corner boutique), and cut down our Christmas tree! This is going to be such a fun month. I'm so excited the holidays are here!

Amelia's Flower Truck
Amelia's Flower Truck

During our time in Nashville, I really wanted to make sure we hunted down Amelia's Flower Truck! I've seen it on Instagram a million times, and it's just as cute in person as it is in photos. We saw it was going to be in the 12 South neighborhood, so we headed over there, snapped some photos, bought a pretty autumnal bouquet, and walked around for a bit enjoying the sunshine. We also stopped for tacos at Taqueria del Sol. So good! I really love that neighborhood. Be sure to keep reading for outfit details... because Madewell is having a big 25% off sale right now!

Just outside Nashville

Hi friends! I apologize for the unintentional blog break there. Life has been busy with Halloween plans, work outings, busy schedules, and our recent trip to Nashville. But I'm finally back with a few posts from our trip! We had a great time in Tennessee. This was our fourth year in a row... and we still haven't even scratched the surface of things to do there. But, I was really excited to ditch downtown for a day, and head outside of Nashville to Franklin and Arrington. As much as I love the hustle and bustle of Broadway, I'm much more of a scenic view, small-town girl. It's so much more relaxing. So here's a little recap of our first full day.
