Miscellany Monday

I realize it is not Monday -- that it is Tuesday... but today is technically my Monday since I took the real Monday off - so...

{ONE} One week ago M turned 5 Months old!!!

{TWO} Loving these new additions to the Christmas tree this year representing our newest addition:

First two ornaments were made using this tutorial -- they are basically salt cookies!  All the grand & great grand parents got one.  So easy to make -- even M loved making them.

Second ornament was inspired by pinterest and made by my sweet high school friend Cori.  She recently started a shop, RaeLynn's Handmade Design, that sells such loveliness from custom designs like this to childrens' clothes to accessories. Right now she is only on facebook but will be opening an etsy shop soon.  Check her shop out HERE.

{THREE}  Seymour Christmas in Jackson was A+Mazing!... will work on pics soon, but here is one funny pic of M from the long weekend i just had to share:

What a Ham!! :)

{FOUR} Straight straight straight:

Have you heard of Hana hair Straighteners? Cause they're the bombdotcom.  Was super excited to have the opportunity to review one courtesy of Misikko.  Yes, I already have straight hair, but I love the way a good straightner like the hana not only calms the fly aways, but basically turns your hair to silk and like Olivia from For Me puts it -- gives you "diva straight" hair.  Most of y'all have heard of the chi hair straighter, the hana is very similar -- infact, i think better! Something else awesome about ordering a hana flat iron from Misikko is that it comes in a way awesome gift box that includes lip gloss, hair brush, two different cases for the hana, wet hair towel wrap, and some other way cool samples & such - with all that swag I felt like a VIP.  {p.s. please ignore the fact that I need to have my bangs trimmed in these photos}

{FIVE} I'm on pins and needles waiting from little baby Sandy A La Mode!
