Happy Friday sweet friends! Let's shake things up, shall we? I've been posting weekly roundups for a looooong time and I don't know about you, but I've been thinking that the old format was getting a little stale. While I love sharing my favorite pins and tumblr images from the week (you can always follow along here & here), I'm ready for something new...

This week was definitely a fun one! We spent some time readjusting to life as a little threesome (after my family's departure over the weekend) and were able to reclaim our space with gusto. The holiday allowed an extra day of lounging and a large slice of chocolate cake for Lo. We FINALLY made a big furniture purchase... no more eating dinner on the living floor ya'll, this girl is getting a dining room table! The chairs (these Eames replicas) arrived yesterday and I've got a busy weekend of assembly ahead. Since college days die hard, Mr. Jackson is making the eight our trek to his Florida Alma Mater to attend some cheesy theme party while Lorelai and I spend a quiet girls weekend at home... TOGA!

Hopefully this weekend will provide a ton of downtime for you to surf the net because the blogosphere was poppin'! Here's what I loved this week:

The big day is almost upon us! This weekend we have plans to load up in the car (with to-go mugs of hocho in tow) and drive around looking at a few lights. While twinkling icicles are gorgeous, I find myself wishing we could sneak a peek inside a few festive homes (like this girly stunner)...

An organized haven for addressing holiday cards and wrapping pretty packages, child sized decorations and a festive spread? This is what sugar plum dreams are made of!

Christmas is almost upon us! I've spent the last few weeks thinking of (and buying) gifts for everyone on my list but there are still a few things I'm hoping that Santa will bring me. We're still in major need of dining room furniture and I think I've decided on the perfect mix of modern and southern. Don't forget a little sparkle (gotta love dressed up stripes) and some serious motivation for the (hopefully exciting) year ahead... I've been good, Santa.
