So, on Day 4, our little elf Buddy was drinking green milk in the fridge!

My kids thought this was hysterical!  As you can see, there is a brand new gallon of plain milk in the background just in case they didn't want to sample the green.  However, they were so excited about it that they happily sipped green milk right along with Buddy (I used the plain milk for my coffee...I wasn't up for green milk myself!).  

All you do is add a few drops of green food coloring to your milk and it's all set for your little elf.  If you don't want to dye your entire gallon, you could always just do a glass of green milk instead.  

I have a secret to tell you...I sometimes buy men's scarves and wear them.

I just love, love, love this idea!  So often, men have some really good scarves, so us gals need to head over there and check them out!  While almost all of the women's scarves are sold out online at Gap right now, the men's scarves are fully stocked...and look how cute they are!  I'm wearing this one in this picture.

Navy Fair Isle, Grey Fair Isle, Navy Marbled Cable Knit, Navy Cable Knit, Red Plaid, Black & Grey Rugby Stripe, Navy & Red Rugby Stripe,  Blue Buffalo Checkered, Red Buffalo Checkered

There were so many more I loved for both women and men!  I could have easily added 10 more to this collage!  Click here to see the rest.    

And look who else wears men's scarves...
