Hi Friends!
How has your Friday been?? Mine has been a very on the go day! I went out Christmas Shopping with my mom and Aunt:
(The two of them on our trip to California in 2010)
We went to Target, HomeGoods, Sports Authority, Marshall’s, The Hallmark Store, Payless, and Trade Joes! I actually did not do too much buying, just a pari of Champion yoga pants (in short!) from Target for my mom and a few random items from HomeGoods for myself 🙂 My shopping is pretty easy this year, just my mom, dad, brother, and god daughter. I helped my mom pick out a few gifts including a gift for my little cousin, Abby, inspired by Pinterest!
Such a cute gift idea for an aspiring baker 🙂

I am currently on the couch with some tea, gearing up for my first Friday night out in Boston in over a month! Being a grad student, I am definitely not a typical, social 20-something on my weekends. That being said, I am really excited to be getting out tonight with some of my good friends. Before heading out I wanted to share a survey that I have been seeing around the blog-world today, enjoy!
