Good morning and happy Friday! I meant to post this when I was away in Boston last week, however there was a glitch in the collage and I had to wait until I returned home to fix it. So, I’m super excited to finally have this post ready for you! I’m really starting to feel as if Christmas is just around the corner and have been busy working on a few upcoming projects to celebrate this most joyous season. With that in mind, I have officially transitioned from The Best Fall Style Guides to The Best Christmas Style Guide. Each week I will have a Style Guide and featured gift guides for your family and friends. It’s going to be fun around here, so make sure to subscribe in order to not miss a single post. This is also a great time to share the love with your friends who can use some shopping ideas for Christmas. Just click on any best styles below to get the shopping details !

I happy to say that I was able to complete most of what was on my October to-do list! There are some things I had to carry over to my November to-do list. If you have any suggestions for me, please share them in the comments, because I would love to know what your plans are this month.
Here’s a list of ten things I would love to do in November!
- Work on my Christmas shopping list!
- Bake a delicious pumpkin dessert! This is a carry-over from October.
- Record as many Christmas Hallmark Channel movies as possible and watch at least two of them a week. These movies make me so happy!
- Roast marshmallows with the family. This is a carry-over from October.
- Read 30 Days of Marriage Prayers eBook by Tony Evans with my husband. We started today.
- Order a fun Christmas sweater, or three! Love this, this, and this!
- Finalize my Thanksgiving plans and what I’m going to cook and bake.
- Start my Christmas shopping and hopefully get most of it done this month!
- Keep exercising!
- Pray more each day!
