Good morning, dear friends! Welcome back to blogland, I know it's been awhile {way too long, actually!}. After such a festive and family-filled Christmas holiday, I am back to the same ol' same ol' just working for the weekend!

    My favorite Christmas gift?

    I can honestly say they were all amazing, but I am pretty pumped to have some new money for my big girl couch fund! :) WOOO!

  2. This is such an adorable idea, and it was lovely to "meet" two new bloggers this Monday morning! Thanks for the idea, Meg!

    As for my favorite Christmas gift... Hmmmm... I would have to say either my new pair of gray canvas TOMS (that I've wanted for months!) or all the books my parents bought me. What can I say? I love to read. :)

    Merry (belated) Christmas to everyone!!

  3. I'm new to Mingle Monday and already had a little snaffu...I blogged about the optional question instead of just answering it here! Oops! :)

    Anyway, my favorite gift this year was magazine subscriptions. I know, super exciting!

    Blogs I visited:

    Synfully Delicious- Lots of cute Christmas posts, and she had me laughing out loud ("loling" as I call it) by saying that when she dies she wants to come back as a diamond!

    Simple Little Joys- Cute to the max. Loved her Christmas posts and recaps of her trip to NYC. Definitely had me missing the Big Apple!

    Love this, will be back next Monday!

  4. Merry Christmas Meg and thanks again for another edition of Mingle Monday!!!
    Today I visited "Mutual Weirdness" and found out she got some magazine subscriptions as a Christmas present, that's a clever idea, I also love magazines.
    Also I visited "Simple.Little. Joys" and she had a great Christmas family style!

    My Favorite Christmas present this year was the fact that I got spend it with my Brother and SIL for the first time in many, many years!!!

  5. I love doing these blog hops so thanks for hosting. It's a great thing to do on a cold day.

    This Christmas I was a little spoiled with a new Canon Rebel camera. I also got Photoshop so I am excited to learn more about both.

  6. Happy Mingle Monday and Holiday time to everyone!

    My favorite Christmas gift this year was the tent that my hubby gave me...I can't wait to go camping!

    This week I visited:
    *Mutual Weirdness: adorable blog...her most recent post discusses her favorite xmas present...which I'd have to agree-is pretty great!
    *A steady stream of chatter: Hilarious and cute blog...her post about jeggings made me laugh out loud.

  7. I visited Rachel at Simple Little Joys and saw her beautiful posts about Christmas. She has the same nativity as I do {and it's most definitely my favorite holiday decoration}.

    I also got to visit Andrea at A Steady Stream of Chatter, and she made me LOL in my living room. Alone. I kind of felt like an idiot, but her post about her Christmas gift from her grandma was really *that* funny. She seems sweet and entertaining, so I'm definitely following her now ;)

    Thanks for hosting Mingle Monday Meg!

  8. I looked at Mutual Weirdness and A Steady Stream. They both were great! I'm looking forward to more posts from them. it's great that Mingle Monday is growing.

    My favorite Christmas gift was definitely my new camera. :)

  9. Can I just say I love Mingle Monday?

    My favorite Christmas gift this year was nothing. I got highlighters and book about Aspergers (since we have suspicions about my son). It actually made me cry LOL I was just a huge Grinch on Christmas so we'll just leave it alone :)

    I stopped by Throw The Starfish Back. I loved reading her survey that was kind of a "get to know you" about her and her man. I also really enjoyed her next post about how terrible Christmas songs really are. I highly recommend reading it!

    I also stopped by Virginia Beach Housewife. It looks like she had an amazing Christmas. Her next post was about the redundancy of the morning shows talking about watching your figure through the holidays. She brought up a good point-who really watches what they eat/drink on the holidays?

    Thanks for hosting such a fun blog hop Meg!

  10. This is such a great idea!

    I visited 'Mutual Weirdness' (love the name) and love her quirkiness and like everyone else, the unique idea for christmas present! putting that on next years wishlist.

    I also visited 'Love is Home' to find that we both are inspired by pretty things :)

  11. Hi! I'm a newbie to mingle monday (and to blogging!) I'm so excited, this is such a great way to find other bloggers. I checked out:
    mutual weirdness - it was so fun and I loved all the pictures. I love the unique things she talks about and takes pictures of. She's definitely not boring!

    simple little joys- her nyc pictures made me miss the city so much (I've only visited once, but I want to go back sooo badly). I was also laughing at her comments that her camera and sd card "fell off santa's sleigh".

    I definitely found two new blogs to follow!!

  13. I think...I forgot to answer the weekly question. So I'll do it now ;)

    My favorite gift{s} were my sewing machine{!} and a gift card to Sur La Table for a cooking class. I blogged more about what I'm planning on doing with both: http://wherewelove.blogspot.com/2010/12/so-many-wonderful-presents.html

    Thanks again!

  14. I forgot to answer too! I got brand new appliances for my kitchen - I'm swooning over my french door fridge. What grown up gift...haha.

  15. Hi Meg! I have to say that I think I love your Mingle Mondays! This is my very first time doing one of these, because I'm a newbie to the blogging world - I think I love it!

    I went over to Throw the Starfish Back - what a great little story! I really enjoyed her blog and got an eye opener on some Christmas songs! She's funny!

    I also stopped at Simple Little Joys - What a sweet person. Loved her Christmas story about getting off of work and going to see her family.

    So far everyone that I have visited have all been kind, friendly and sweet. And for the big answer on my favorite Christmas gift this year is..... That my youngest daughter, who is 9, was diagnosed with Legg-Calves Perthes when she was 5 years old. We went to the doctors on Dec. 21st and he said she is good and her femurs have grown back to close to perfect and round. Perthes is when the blood supply to the femur is compromised and the bone dies. But it rebuilds itself. Some people have surgery but we decided against surgery. We are blessed that she is healed which according to the doctor is rare. This was the BEST gift ever! :o)

    Love your blog and thank you for your Mingle Monday!! :o)

  23. Thanks again for hosting this! I love getting to look at so many new blogs (although it tends to take me a few days to actually write this comment up for some reason)

    I checked out Amber's Adventures. I love how honest and blunt she is...a girl after my own heart.

    I also checked out My Urban Corner, and loved her DIY candle idea.

    My favorite Christmas present was definitely my new camera...it's awesome and totally dumby-friendly (which I need). I blogged about it today if you want to check out the make/model

  25. Mingle Monday, the best day of the week! This week has been crazy busy, and I usually visit all of the new ones, but this time I've only gotten to head over to two: Keeping up with Courtney and Bird in Boots! Keeping Up with Courtney's layout is so cute and caught my eye right off the bat! I can't wait for a little break to sit down and read both of these. Bird in Boots is right up my alley, and her Christmas present recap made me totally J of all of her fab new goodies! Love it. And love YOU, sweet Meg! Hope your week is going wonderfully. Keep us updated on the medical situation...prayers headed your way :)
