I was so excited for Season Two of both Once Upon a Time and Revenge and both have really disappointed me.  Do you watch these shows?  What do you think about the direction they are going?

On the Computer –

• Apartment Therapy – Inspiration: Glass Dinner Plates –  I think this idea is adorable – so may people “ba-humbugged” it in the comments – but I think it is a clever, inventive idea!  And yes – if you don’t want the clocks – let guests take them – or create some fun decor with them in an office or study…like this idea from Curbly.com.  
  

On the page –

• Glamour Magazine – 5 Beauty Lessons we Learned this Year from Kerry Washington – as you know from my TV picks – I love Kerry Washington in Scandal and she has great beauty tips too!

In the kitchen –

• Macaroni Kid Sweet-n’-Sticky Monkey Bread – this looks delicious and only an hour to make!  I will be trying this recipe soon. Thanks to Cynthia at Macaroni Kid for passing this recipe along to me.  [Cynthia has a lot of great recipes to make with kids – follow her Pinterest board for more great ideas: foodie (make with kids)]

For the Kids –

• BabyLit Board Books – Olivia got the Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice counting books for Christmas – they are so fantastic!  Thanks Aunt Denise, Aunt Mary and Lilly!
