How to spot a bullshit apology.
Did you guys catch my Vlogmas videos on Youtube? My latest one has lots of holiday outfit ideas. (J)
This almond filled Challah bread would be a perfect addition to a weekend or holiday morning.
I’m hosting some family for New Year’s Eve and I’m doing a Korean food theme. This recipe for kimchi udon noodles with scallions is at the top of the list. (C)

Where do kids learn about gender roles? Their parents’ relationship.
Thanks to everyone’s input on my Instagram stories poll (it was a dead set 50/50 of black vs brown) I got the brown Sigerson Morrison boots for this winter. And I found them for 50% off! (J)
Major props to Catt Sadler for deciding to not stay at E! after finding out that she makes half of what a male coworker makes.

Merry Christmas Jess, Craig, Nora, Fuji, and Hunter. We have had a rough patch with our real kids in the hospital and reading your blogs and seeing your fun vlogs with the snow and your adorable fur kids always made me smile when I wanted to cry. Enjoy your family and your puppies and have a wonderful and Blessed Christmas!!??
Oh I’m so sorry to hear that Lynn. I hope everything is ok now. Wishing you a Happy Holiday xx
I love how you attached an article about gender roles! My partner and I both share responsibilities, we make it a point to take turns cooking, cleaning, getting our daughter ready, literally everything is 50/50 and we both take turns doing everything.
Growing up I was definitely a tom boy (I grew up with all older boy cousins), so if I find an article of clothing that I like for my daughter in the “boys” section I won’t let that stop me from buying it for her. She likes playing with cars and trucks over baby dolls and that’s perfectly fine with me. We have never and will never tell her she can’t do something because she’s a girl.
That’s so cool Sam! I love that. You’re gonna raise a bad ass little lady. Happy Holidays xx
