Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, LITTOF readers!

Today my mom and Tom (stepdad) arrive for an eleven day visit! I'm so excited!

Today's post on Love in the Time of Foreclosure at ChicagoNow is a letter to Secret Santa. Check it out to discover the unexpected gift Bob and I received this yesterday. Click here to read.

I hope that wherever you are and whatever you are doing, you're happy. I know I am. Happy and grateful. And full of sugar.

Merry Christmas!

LITTOF on "Design Your Life"

This summer I discovered the wonderful blog Makeunder My Life - Designing a life with intention by Chicago jewelry designer, Jess Constable. You might remember my post about her Weekly Exfoliations where she passes on or repurposes at least one item a week from her life that she no longer needs, uses or loves. Her spirit inspired me right away. And I had the pleasure of meeting her at a gathering for Chicago bloggers called ChiBLOGo.

All of this is to say that when Jess asked me to do this week's Design Your Life post, I was thrilled! What is the Design Your Life series?

Design Your Life
Every Thursday guest bloggers from all walks of life share their intentions and tangible, actionable ways they design their life accordingly.

If you like it, leave a comment (I'd love to hear what you think of my intentions for life) or share it with a friend, please. Thank you!!

(Shopping tip for the holidays: If you're looking for jewelry for anyone on your list, be sure to check out Jess' jewelry line Jess LC. It's beautiful and really well-priced. Seriously, check it out.)
