I am READY to start decking the halls. In fact, we are pretty much already doing it. I told myself, wait until after you host Friendsgiving, but of course I couldn't. So it's all Christmas all the time at our place. I am one of those people who need a playlist for every action, and one of my Christmas traditions is to start the season with a new playlist with all the new releases of the year. The link to my playlist is below and it will continue to be updated throughout the year, but here are the five I have on repeat right now! 

Every year for my birthday, my family and I spend the day doing Random Acts of Kindness. Since I turn 25 on November 1st, we tackled 25 act of kindness this year and it was just the sweetest way to spend the day. So many of my friends have asked for a copy of our list to inspire their own day of kindness so here it is! I included the note below to go along with all our acts in hopes to inspire others to pay the kindness they received that day further. That's what it's all about right? 

Every year right around the end of October we schedule our photo shoot and design our Christmas cards. This is an important tradition to me because though Ben and I have moved away from our hometowns and graduated out of our college communities, we desperately don't want to lose touch with the people who were so vital in forming us into the people we've become. So every year I order 100 Christmas cards and send them to the people I want to be sure we stay connected to.
