Christmas Gift Guide for Teens

Welcome back to 12 Days of Sweet Tea Christmas! I’m a mom to a (very silly and amazing) teenage daughter, and sometimes, she can be downright impossible to shop for! So this year, she made an epic and very details list to help me out, and I thought it would be fun to have my teen help you shop for your teen!

I’m very happy to have my 13-year old daughter Marley joining me today to share a Christmas Gift Guide for Teens! We made a video for you, too – Merry Christmas!

*A word of caution: We find ourselves highly amusing, and this video is by no means movie quality. But it sure was fun!

**One more word: You can find links to most of the items mentioned in the list below the video. Ok…I’ll leave you alone now.

So cute gifts! It’s the easy-making and meaningful presents for our friends and relatives in special days like Christmas. I really like the handmade things as the cute pictures above and also have a plan to make it myself.

I think it’s time to reintroduce myself. Hi! 👋 I’m Kirsten. I don’t spend as much time on this IG as I used to because I opened a retail store called Lake & Local back in January 2022, so that’s my main focus these days.

I live on Lake Oconee in Greensboro, GA with my hubs and our four kitties (yep, we’re crazy cat people over here). All of our kitties are rescues, and that little black kitten, Poe, is the newest addition to the family, enjoying life with his ginger sisters, Lucky, Maxine, and Clover.

My business, Lake & Local, is where I thrive. My biz partner Kelly and I make a lot of our inventory - shirts, tumblers, etc. Plus we offer weekly craft workshops in our studio space! It’s been a really fun ride. We even had the CEO of Supacolor (who makes our shirt transfers) visit the shop all the way from New Zealand recently!

I’d love for you to give us a follow @lakeandlocal and check out our website to see what we’re all about. In the meantime, how the heck are ya? Tell me what’s going on in your life!

🎉NEW BIBLE STUDY ALERT!🎉

I’m excited to share my newest Bible study, “5 Days with Joseph: Bigger Than You”.

In this easy-to-digest study, you’ll have daily readings from Genesis 37-50 and questions to help you dig deep.

Through the life of Joseph, you’ll learn that God has a purpose for your life, even when you’re in difficult seasons.

Grab your copy and spend five days walking with Joseph! Link in bio!

Mornings look like this… And it’s so peaceful

Mornings look like this…

And it’s so peaceful until Maxine & Clover start to wrestle (swipe to see) 🤣

And it continues until, inevitably, Clover falls off the bed.

Have a great day!

This morning, I was compelled to begin a self-led

This morning, I was compelled to begin a self-led study of “grace” - what it is, what it means for us, how it is represented in scripture, and so forth.

In my research, I came across a sermon by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called “Man’s Sin and God’s Grace”. I read the entire thing and wept at the end. It was so incredibly simple yet powerful. I encourage you to read it - it’s linked in my bio.

While much of the sermon is worth sharing, this nugget stood out to me:

“The whole of life hinges on the ever flowing power and ever flowing stream of God’s grace. Grace is just that something that God gives us. It’s a gift that we don’t merit, that we don’t deserve, but which we so desperately need. That’s grace, and none of us could live without it.” - MLK, Jr.

We cannot live without God’s grace, yet it isn’t something we can earn or that we deserve.

Dr. King goes on to share how we as a country have gone the way of the prodigal son, but God says to simply “come home”. Where sin increases, so does God’s grace.

He closes with this prayer, which I’ll also close with:

“Oh God, our gracious heavenly Father, help us to see the meaning of this grace, and help us to realize that in our sinful lives there is some hope, there is a way out through Thy powerful and ever flowing grace. In the name and spirit of Jesus we pray. Amen.”
