    With Christmas right around the corner, I thought I'd put together a little holiday gift guide for you all. I give you some awesome suggestions for the cook in your life, the farmer in your life, and things the whole family will need and love. Check it out! The best part is most of it can be ordered via Amazon which means shopping in the comfort of your home + 2 day shipping if you have prime. Who doesn't love that?!

           Lodge Dutch Oven • KitchenAid Standing Mixer • Microplane Zester • Lodge Cast Iron Skillet • Vanilla Beans • Immersion Blender • Adorable PW Cake Stand • Wustof Santoku Knife • Cupcake Transporter • Fancy Bundt Pan • Wusthof Knife Sharpener


    Man, oh man. I think I could fill my entire Christmas wish list with items for my kitchen! Here are my top three from this list:

    KitchenAid Standing Mixer: When you need one, you need one! I love my KitchenAid. Even though I like to mix things by hand, nothing can beat this for kneading bread, whipping cream, or mixing up cookie dough when you have to make multiple batches. It's awesome!

    Lodge Cast Iron Skillet: If you've ready even a handful of my posts, you know that I love my cast iron skillet. It's perfect for making so many dishes: from breakfast to dessert or even baking. You need one. Or five.

    Wustof Knife Sharpener: Owning this has changed my life. It's super easy and safe to use and keeps your knifes as sharp as they were the day you bought them. Bonus: it has a sharpener for standard knives and asian knives!

    Heated 16 Gallon Water Bucket • Hierloom Tomato Seeds • Gardening Stool + Tools • Egg Collecting Basket • Saffron Bulbs • Leather Dog Collars • Hyacinth Bulbs • Chick Nipple Waterer • Allium Bulbs • 3 Pack of Leather Gloves • Chick Brooder Heat Plate


    I love everything in this section too! How awesome is it that you can order bulbs and seeds online from almost anywhere?! It makes my gardening life complete. Here are my top three:

    Hierloom Tomato Seeds: How pretty are these?! I need this in my gardening life next year. I love hierloom tomatoes for their fun shapes and colors. I grew one variety last summer but this year I'd like to expand. This seed pack is a mix of 13 different heriloom tomatoes - I can't wait to try it!

    Gardening Stool + Tools: All I have to say is...WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE? I need some new gardening tools and the stool combo is just too much. I think I'm in love.

    Chick Brooder Heat Plate: Even though I promised myself I wouldn't get chicks this spring...I inevitably will. Ha! I have been wanting to test out one of these heat plates for a while, they are much safer than a traditional heat lamp. This spring should be the year!

    Baby Winter Suits by Carters • Igloos Hats • Big Agnes 15 Degree Sleeping Bag • Big Agnes Sleeping Bag Pad • Kodiak 8 Person Tent • Carhartt Coat • Dulce Baby Co. Moccasins • Infantino Baby Carrier • Botanical Prints from Robert & Stella • MuckBoot Chore Muck Boots • Adorable Prints from Chana Dawn Designs


    This category has something for the whole family! Some practical, some cute, some that I can't live without. Here are my top 5…because I couldn't pick just 3, ha!

    Botanical Prints from Robert & Stella: I grew up next door neighbors with the talented Sara behind Robert & Stella and I can't say enough good about her {she designed my wedding invites - DREAMY!}. I basically die every time I see one of these prints she creates. She designs them with real flowers {and other botanical things}, by hand and then makes prints out of them. Reese Witherspoon likes them enough to share them on her Instagram account. Think I'm kidding? I'm totally not, it happened. I think I need all of these prints...and a bigger house with more wall space. As a fun bonus, her Insta captions are hilarious and will make your day.

    Carhartt Coat: 100% transparency here: I wear this coat everywhere. I have the dark red color and it is not only a workhorse on the farm, I think it's totally cute {as long as it's clean}. But you probably shouldn't take fashion advice from someone who still wears pants they bought in the 10th grade. #notevenembarassed Anyways, the point is that this coat rocks, it's super warm, easy to clean {even if it gets, ya know...poopy} and comes in all sorts of awesome colors.

    Adorable Prints from Chana Dawn Designs: I really need more wall space. Every time I see a new print from Chana I want it! She is my mega-talented cousin-in-law and I can't even handle how perfect her hand lettering is. I want to hire her to write quotes on my giant chalkboard hanging on my all. #forreal I particularly love the print I have linked up in the photos, but all of hers are seriously so cute. PLUS she makes the best baby announcements ever {or anything else you need designed!} I got one for Abram and loved it. And then I was a slacker mom and didn't get one for Aspen. Which I just realized as I type this. Aspen will probably hold that over my head when she is a teenager. Anyways, check out Chana Dawn Designs! Follow her on Insta for updates on what's in her shop.

    Dulce Baby Co. Moccasins: I have at least 25 pairs of these! Ok, not really but I wish I did! My sweet friend owns this shop and puts together the best baby gifts you've ever seen in your entire life. Trust me, I have been the lucky recipient of two! So, if you need a baby gift let her do all the work for you and just order one 🙂 . But you can also buy these moccs a la carte and you definitely should. They are the best baby shoes in the world and hers are so affordable! They stay on tiny baby feet, they are great for learning how to walk, and they are so easy to get on chubby children feet. Because seriously, no one has time to fight that battle. #canigetanamen Follow along on Insta for product updates, she gets awesome new stuff in all the time!

    Infantino Baby Carrier: My saving grace these days. When your baby wants to be held but you have stuff to get done, this baby carrier is the answer. It's also perfect for going on walks and gardening and taking care of chickens...you get the point. Anything you need to do and bring baby with you - this carrier will help you get the job done. I love this for a few reasons, it's easy to clean plus you can face baby towards you for when they are tiny and then away from you as they grow. It's totally affordable and mine has held beautifully.

    Hopefully this gift guide gives you some fun ideas this year!
