christmas pajamas

December 12, 2016

We just love Christmas time and everything that goes with it! But sometimes it’s hard to step away from the busy day to day and remember to just take in the season, and remember (as trite as it may sound) the reason for the season. William does a good job of helping us to stop and smell the Christmas tree 😉 He squeals with excitement every time he sees it and we have to stop and touch the branches and admire the ornaments. And also try to keep him from grabbing the breakable ones- we’ve already lost a couple! In turn, we talk with him about Christmas and baby Jesus’ birth and His return still to come. We’re hoping as William gets older those are the things he is excited to celebrate at Christmas. We’re also pretty sure he’ll be excited about the presents!

Our family is all about tradition and we shared a little bit about our Christmas stocking tradition last week. Another tradition we love is wearing matching Christmas pajamas. This tradition has been going on since Stia was a toddler and we loved initiating Katherine into it when she and Justin were married. After we get home from Christmas Eve service, we eat dinner, put on our Christmas pajamas and then we each open one gift. On Christmas morning, you can find us all in our matching Christmas pajamas, sitting around the fire opening presents and eating a leisurely breakfast. Most years, we try to stay in them all day!

What are your favorite Christmas traditions? We would love to hear! You can see last year’s Christmas pajamas tradition here!

PS: We are so excited to partner with Cosabella to give you 20% off sitewide w/ the code BISHOPHOLLAND20! The three of us absolutely love Cosabella pajamas and their robes are the best!

Our final gift guide for the season is here! Of course we saved the best for last 🙂 Last week we talked about how hard we find it to shop for our guys, but the funny thing is that they say the same thing about us! We don’t understand how that can when we drop plenty of not-so-subtle hints. Each of our guys seem to say some version of the same thing: You already have slip on sneakers. You just bought a new handbag. Rain boots?? In Dallas?? Do you guys get the same reaction from the men in your lives? Will they never learn?! A wish list is a wish list. It has absolutely nothing to do with being practical (insert eye roll here). But in the end, they always surprise us with something wonderful, so we really aren’t complaining!!

We are excited to offer a giveaway “for her” this week! We are partnering with Gigi New York, Saint Bernard and BaubleBar to giveaway a Gigi New York Madison crossbody bag, a pair of Hunter boots from Saint Bernard and a $100 gift card to spend at BaubleBar. All for one lucky winner 🙂

velvet shoes

December 8, 2016

Today isn’t just any Thursday, today is Katherine’s birthday! She has been celebrating all week and we plan to continue the celebrations into the weekend when we can all celebrate together 🙂 Yesterday, Stia, Jean and William headed down to Northpark Center to finish birthday shopping for Katherine and tackle a few Christmas to-dos. The mall was so busy- everyone must be trying to finish up Christmas early! We had a chance to grab a quick lunch at the Mermaid Bar in between errands. Lunch looks a little bit different now than when William would sleep through it. He doesn’t want anything to do with puffs or his own food, he just reaches his little hand out to try to get our food! We decided to order him a kids grilled cheese on wheat bread with fruit on the side. Best idea ever. He sat there happily eating for about 10 minutes, which gave us enough time to finish our meals!

Back in November we talked a little bit about the velvet trend. Since then our love of velvet has only grown stronger. Velvet anything catches our eye and that was the case with these velvet shoes. We were out shopping for our trip to Healdsburg and spotted these velvet shoes. It was kind of love at first sight 🙂 They are such a fun way to wear velvet and so cute worn like this with jeans and a cute top! Have any of you tried the velvet trend?

Stia, Jean & Katherine
