Hi Friends,

Thank you all for the amazing responses to part one of the "10 Things To Do Before Christmas" article. Without further ado, I give you part two. Here are ten more things you and your loved ones can do together, before Christmas!

Part One: "10 Things To Do Before Christmas"


1. Buy an ugly Christmas Sweater

Wear it around proudly while searching for the perfect gift or checking off your Christmas to-do's.

2. Drive around and look at Christmas Lights

3. Host or Attend a Christmas Party


The holidays are the most fun when friends and family are around. Throw a dinner or holiday game party to get everyone in the Christmas spirit.

4. Make Gingerbread Pancakes


Here's a recipe that sounds too delicious not to make! http://www.cookingclassy.com/gingerbread-pancakes/

5. Try Eggnog

Who knows, maybe you'll like it!

6. Decorate a Gingerbread House


I checked this off my holiday list last week. I'm proud to say that my gingerbread house actually stayed together!! The sides are rather unique since I decorated it with a four year old, but at least it didn't fall apart!

7. Go Sledding

This was my favorite thing to do when I was growing up. I don't care what others say- you can never be too old for sledding! Don't forget to bring a few friends along!

8. Enjoy a Candy Cane

I recently tried candy cane flavored hot chocolate and oh my is it tasty! Check out this cool post showing you how to make different candy cane flavored treats https://www.brit.co/candy-cane-recipes/

9. Make Popcorn Garland

Grab a needle, some popcorn and get stringing! Your tree will look even more fabulous after.

10. Take a family Photo

I mean.....who says they have to be traditional.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
