This and yap 🤍 Don’t forget to create holiday magic for yourself too! I can’t tell you how nice it was to do some gingerbread decorating without having to follow a three year old’s vision (or fight the sugar battle)! It’s fun to do it with kids, too, but sometimes you just need coffee, baked goods, and little bit of kid-free catch up time with your mom friends! Thank you for hosting @blueskyehouse!!
I wrote down a list of things I wanted to do for fun in 2024. I crossed off exactly zero of them (having a baby will do that to ya) and my only hope of accomplishing one would be to host a cookie exchange! I wanted to SO bad but I was also feeling exhausted after a long year (losing a dog, having a baby, running a business, etc.) and I didn’t know if I had hosting a party in me. I sent out the invitations and told myself I’d figure it out. There was no going back! It was SO FUN though and I will be doing this again. I feel like so much of the holidays as a mom is spent making the magic for kids. It’s Santa meet and greets, Christmas shopping, holiday pageants…. And then seeing Santa again (and again and again). THIS party was for us! 🥂
🎧 Five 5-Star Audiobooks I Listened to This Year ✨
Audiobooks have been my secret weapon for fitting reading into a busy life. Whether I’m folding laundry, driving to preschool drop-off, or squeezing in a solo walk, I can dive into a story at the touch of a button—and @Audible makes it so easy.

This year, I listened to some incredible audiobooks, but these five stood out as absolute favorites:
📚 A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith: A beautifully written coming-of-age classic. I didn’t want it to end and could absolutely see myself re-listening in a few years.
📚 None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell: A psychological thriller with unreliable narrators that kept me guessing the whole way through.
📚 Such a Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter: Part mystery, part family drama—flawed characters, a gripping storyline, and a chef’s kiss ending.
📚 All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker: A masterpiece of storytelling that starts as a serial killer mystery and evolves into something much bigger.
📚 Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors: A stunning exploration of sisterhood, grief, and imperfect people. The ending left me in tears (happy ones!).
#sponsored Bedtime with two little boys can be hectic to say the least! 😅 But I try to do what I can to make the transition smoother and help my baby get the best sleep possible. 💤 Desitin Maximum Strength Baby Diaper Rash Cream is the #1 pediatrician-recommended choice for diaper rash relief. The rich, thick formula creates a protective barrier on Rory’s skin, working for up to 12 hours to treat, heal, protect, soothe, and prevent diaper rash. And after bathtime, we use @aveenobaby Calming Comfort Lotion. This nourishing lotion, made with prebiotic oat, keeps my baby’s skin soft and smooth for 24 hours. Plus, the calming scent is perfect for winding down before bedtime. A little prep goes a long way in making bedtime easier for everyone! 🍼💤 Both are available on Amazon
Holding on for dear life this December ❤️ I have had SO MANY conversations this week with my friends near and far and we are *all* struggling. I have to say, just knowing it’s not just me feeling the pressure of “end of year-holiday magic- cold/flu/stomach bug season-darkest days of the year,” has made it a little easier to handle. Don’t forget to take care of yourself, too 😮💨 (Telling myself this because I could use the reminder too!)
If I hadn’t already mailed our Christmas cards*, I would be ordering a reprint because this first photo is IT. ⭐️💂🏻♀️
*Actually only half because for some reason, I didn’t order enough? Our list must have grown over the past year or I just underestimated how many people were on it! I had to order more so the second half will be going out later whoops!!
I've wanted one of these for so long! Love this color.
That article made me want to go buy another one!! 🙂
I have the medium one in navy blue. I got it my freshman year of college and I love it!
I wanted one for a minute haha but I'd rather use something that I don't see everyone else with too. Using one could get confusing at train stations/airports especially, it's like using a plain black rolling suitcase.
Want!! But I have to wait till I graduate and start my engineering job in June 😉
I have the medium one in purple and I used it for 3 years before I had to repair it.

I would love one! Hoping to get the red for my birthday next month!
Obsessed with them. The large red one is my go-to, but I got a medium black and a medium beige. You really can't beat how much stuff you can get into a large one, without it being uncomfortable to carry!
I love mine. They are very practical, you can load up the large size with files. The material is lightweight and great in all types of weather. And I love the color choices. Also, I've purchased a couple during Friends and Family sales at certain department stores (Longchamp is not an excluded brand).
I think they are very practical. I actually use mine when I travel because I can fold it in my luggage. I also like to use them when it is raining because the material can take it the moist, unlike leather.
I have a black version and love it for my travels!

I have 2. I'm so in love! I had my black one for 6 years and just recently replaced it because it was falling apart. I don't think I will ever get sick of them!
XOXO,

I have a bag similar to this and I love it!
I want a navy blue Longchamp so badly! I think I'd get really good use out of it 🙂
I am obsessed with my Longchamp!! I've had it for 2 years and it is honestly the most durable bag I've ever owned. I'm asking for a new one for my birthday this year, I'm so excited!
Xoxo,

I recently just got one for christmas and I love it. I have used it every day since. Great article, loved your quote.
I love the Longchamp design but I wish that they didn't use leather :/ Beautiful bags, though 🙂
I totally agree! I would love to find a professional looking, durable, preppy VEGAN bag!
Me, too!
haha this was so random! I do not understand why long champs are so expensive; they are made out of nylon? A bit overrated for what it is I think. I normally like all of college prep's staples; however, I never really caught on to this one.

I agree, I've been seeing them all over and finally caved to look at the site a few moments ago. While it may SEEM practical, I don't see the practicality in spending $100+ on a tote bag.
I have one in navy, and I'm in love! I want to get a tan one, too. Happy Monday!

Love the Le Pliage bags. They are a travel staple for me since they are foldable. I'm glad to see you've changed your mind about them. 🙂
That red le pliage has been my go to bag since I started college. It is literally perfect.
I have one and I want another, they are just so wonderfully practical and stylish. I don't particularly care that so many people seem to covet and carry them, they suit me just fine.
Love the Le Pliage bags. I have a smaller one I designed myself to carry on the weekends and the bigger one in purple to carry to class. Perfect go to bag, always.
Love my Le Pliage bag! Wanting to get the travel bag next!

I got one when I was in Paris last year… much better price and a great souvenir I will always remember!
I've been debating ordering one forever…May just have to now!
Got a customized Le Pliage bag this spring, and now I'll never go back! Mine is Navy with a stripe of beige and it is just perfect… It feels like a Mary Poppins bag- I can fit everything I'd ever need in it. The french definitely know what they're doing! 🙂

What a neat article you were a part of! And yes, I love mine too. It's absolutely perfect!
The first time I actually saw this bag was on your blog and I've wanted one ever since. When I went to New York and London last year I ummed and ahhed over buying one, but then finally marched into a store in London and got a navy blue one…and I love it so much! I'm so glad that I bought it 🙂
I feel everyone loves these bags because they are simple and clean!
I love mine! I have the large version in navy and I love it for travels. Especially when I know I am going to go shopping so I have it folded up on the way and use it on the way home with any goodies I picked up!
I also love it for school meetings because I can put my laptop in there and carry whatever I need in my La Pliage instead of my LL Bean backpack!
I can't wait to finally get my second one!
Had a Longchamp for 2 years, but recently switched to Bric's X-bag. Similar style of nylon and leather, but the straps can adjust to a cross-body for traveling, and inside there is a small clutch/cross-body that snaps in and out to be used as a pocket on the inside, or as its own bag.
Same price, just offers more options.
Seconding the comments of the women wanting a VEGAN Longchamp. That would be awesome. They are definitely beautiful bags though.
I like the Le Pliage bags but because they have the leather handlebar and I'm vegan, I can't purchase them. I found a faux-leather one made by Capelli NY and bought it but the zipper broke on my first trip with it. I REALLY wish Longchamp would make one for vegans=(
I have 2 Le Pliages and 2 other Longchamp bags they’ve all been in the same perfect shape me since I was 13! I’m 16 now and I’m sure they’ll last well through college! Love these bags and this blog! x
