I thought I'd share a Thanksgiving (and Christmas) staple in our family with you: Toll House Pie!  Its easy to make and the ingredients aren't hard to come by.  Its reallllly good, like a gooey chocolate chip cookie in a pie shell-yum!

I Pre-made deep dish pie crust

Filling:

2 eggs

1/2 cup each of Flour, Sugar and Packed Brown Sugar

I cup of butter melted (cooled)

6 oz chocolate chips (add more or less if your heart desires)

Went to Tallahassee this weekend to visit my sister and attend the FSU game.  It was a great weekend!  The Noles won and it was defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews' last home game.  There was a really nice ceremony before the game and Dad went out on the field along with some other of Coach Andrews' former players and it was fun to see him out there.  After the game, we grabbed dinner with the g-parents and my aunt, uncle and cousin who was home from school for Thanksgiving.  Obligatory pic:

Love how sis and I are pulling the hand on hip to avoid having the fat arm...classic.

My interview from Friday was rescheduled so I'll keep ya posted on that after it happens next week!

Looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with mine and LAS' families and scoring a black friday deal or two...What are your plans friends??

We all have those incredibly put together fashionistas in our lives.  They are so of the moment. Always on point.  What in the world do we get them??  Here's a short guide with some suggestions from moi and if its not a fashionista you are having to shop for, don't fret--I have a couple of other guides up my sleeve....

The Sartorialist.  The ultimate fashion blog has become a book and would be a welcome addition to any glamour girl's bookshelf.

The Laundress Wool/Cashmere care set.  The perfect gift for taking care of her favorite items in her closet.

Echo Bow Striped Gloves via Bloomingdales.  Cute touches added to a winter staple = perfection.

Hellooo!

I'm here just feeling uninspired as of late.  Until today when sweet Maggie at It is Everlasting suggested I do a post of gift ideas and I decided to take it one step further and do a "guide" of sorts for the different people in our lives.  I already have lots of ideas but if you have something you think I should include or would like the submit something of your own email me at missmonogram@gmail.com

In other news I have an interview Friday that I'm thrilled to bits about--could be a big opportunity!  Say a little prayer ;)

I sent an email to one of my Sunday School volunteers that I look after Sunday mornings in my role as "Coach." (i.e. I make sure they have their lessons, supplies, snacks and get them whatever else they need on Sundays)  I thanked her for all she does in serving those kids and she wrote back and shared something that I just loved and thought you might too:

"...and in this crazy world I think the kids remind me what is really important in life - playtime, story time, God time, and snack time"

LOVE it.

Hope you get a little of each on this lovely Saturday.

Target's latest designer in residence, Rodarte, will begin selling their affordable collection at Target stores in December but pictures are leaking people!  Here are two of the dresses priced at an astounding $45 and $40 respectively courtesy of nitrolicious.

The Boyfriend blazer is uber-popular this season and quite frankly, its a staple everyone should have IMO.  Here's a budget friendly version from Old Navy:

I've been dying to make my own bib necklace and thanks to CraftStylish (may be my new fave website) we can all make our own because they've laid it out step by step.  Click here to learn how to make this:

LOVE it!  Sat down last night and wrote my week's plans in it and I'm so excited to continue to use it.  I love the different sections for the different things in my life and the double ribbon so you can mark the month at a glance and the current week--genius!!  Click on the image to check out momagenda.com!
