After a brief Thanksgiving-induced hiatus, Friday Favorites are officially back!
It’s been a busy week ’round these parts, what with kicking off and wrapping up the first week of the 20 Day Holiday Workout Challenge!
TGIF, right?!
Without further ado, here are my favorite finds from around the web this week!
Favorite new year’s idea: Easy closet clean out. Flip all your hangers around on new year’s day. After one year, or a season, donate any clothes that you haven’t worn, aka the hangers are still flipped!
Favorite Christmas cookie: Peanut Butter Cup Cookies. My parents used to have a Christmas party every year which my Mom would make dozens and dozens and dozens of cookies for. These were my favorite!
Favorite foodie gift idea: Stuffed baking mitt. Perfect for a newly married couple, or someone just out of college and starting to cook for themselves.
Favorite Giggle: The Truth About Book Clubs. I personally don’t belong to a book club, but every single one I know of pretty much follows this format. HIGHlarious!
Favorite winter must-have: Sorel Joan of Arctic Boots. Uggggh, luscious foot hugs.
Favorite Holiday pup. Poor, hilarious pooch!
Favorite DIY craft: Scented candle upcycles. Melt half burned candles and combine them in one candle. Genius – I have like a zill of these laying around!
Favorite casserole: Chicken Broccoli Supreme Casserole. Hearty winter casserole without cream of something soup.
Favorite photo: Chocolate Wasted Cake. I mean!!!
Favorite Christmas card. Rustic, cute and clever.
Favorite find: Copykat Godfather’s Dessert Pizza. Do you KNOW how many slices of this pizza I ate growing up?
Favorite personalized gift: Thumbprint Heart Pendant. Perfect for husband/wife, mom/dad/children, grandparents/grandchildren.
Favorite fitspirational quote. It’s so true!
Favorite MUST MAKE recipe: Hot Chocolate Bombs. Make these truffle-like balls, wrap and freeze. Drop in warm milk for instant, homemade hot chocolate!!
Favorite flashback: Santa Mugs. We had these exact mugs growing up, and I clearly remember having Swiss Miss hot chocolate with mini marshmallows in them after cold winter days spent sledding and building snow men. Awww!
Favorite eco-chic fashion statement: Hand Block Printed Bamboo Scarf. Each scarf is made of bamboo and stamped with stamps from India. Cool, and cute!
Favorite fancy nibble: Shrimp Pesto Pizza. Yes, yes and yes. To all those things.
Favorite coffee flavor: Wild Blueberry from Green Mountain Coffee. This tastes IDENTICAL to a blueberry muffin. Unreal! PS get 15% your order and free shipping until 12/15 with code AM0015-3592 at GreenMountainCoffee.com!
Favorite holiday sight: Rockefeller Christmas Tree. Seeing this bad boy is on my bucket list!
Favorite funny: Inappropriate Elf on the Shelf ideas. I actually think the EOTS concept is genius, but these ideas are absolutely hysterical.
Favorite true words. Been there, done that!
Favorite holiday indulgence: Eggnog syrup. I want to try this ONCE!!!!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! :D

What was the best part of your week this week?
GREAT list! Love them all this week :D
Ha, I love that closet hanger idea. I need to implement it!
Hi Kristin, I just found you because I was looking for an artichoke chicken casserole. Wow, you have such a fun blog site. I am so happy to have found you.
Hehehe, I have that Santa coffee mug sitting on my kitchen counter as I write. I also have one that has both eyes open.
Love your exercise posts. I don’t have a treadmill, but I have an elliptical. Hmmmm, I wonder if I could use your charts for this?
Thanks for sharing.

Love the blueberry coffee. It does taste just like a blueberry muffin!
I totally had the oven mitt gift idea Pinned too—so clever!
And you should definitely come hang in NYC and make that bucket list item happen :)
Thanks for sharing the awesome Friday Favorites, Kristin!
What an awesome roundup! I see so many things I love here. Especially that godfather’s dessert pizza, MMM…
how sad that I have never had dessert pizza before. I need to find a place that offers that around here.
I love your Friday favorites post…so much fun stuff to look at and ideas for recipes. Thanks
I love the rustic christmas card and the snow boots… LOVE them!!
The candle idea is so good!! And I’m pretty sure my mantra is the book club poster. Hilarious! I’d have to say the best part of my week was today because I was finally back in my own bed. Three cheers for simple things :)
I just bought the Sorel Joan of Arc boots in black. I can’t wait to wear them!
My favorite part of this week was re creating your meatloaf cupcakes… HUGE HIT!

I do NOT understand that workout quote. When I’m done at the gym, I’m tired, hungry, and just plain crabby…and sore….and I really really really have to pee.
The elf one made me laugh! We had an advent calendar with a mouse and one year my husband kidnapped it and we took pictures(similar to that elf!). Don’t worry they were teenagers nobody was traumatized! The ransom was cookies!
