High Five For Friday!
We have come to the end of another week, which means it's High Five for Friday time! source 1. I came across this on Pinterest this week. I'm not sure if #1, #3 or #7 is the favorite carol of my kitty...but gauging from her 4AM wake up calls this past week, I'm going to… Continue reading High Five For Friday!
Taking a moment to laugh
Last night I found myself completely annoyed and out of sorts...trying to make an ugly Christmas sweater, of all things. I had this grand idea of attaching green ornaments to a sweater in the shape of a Christmas tree, but anyone who knows me is aware that sewing projects (even of the simplest nature) never… Continue reading Taking a moment to laugh

Almost everyone at the table nodded in approval, eyes wide in… Continue reading Always Ready for Company
Christmas Home Decor Tour 2013
It's looking a LOT like Christmas at my house! I have had this little tree since I was 5 years old. Whatever my mom paid for it, I've gotten her money's worth! 🙂 I added another little turquoise tree in our bedroom. It makes the room so cozy! I love these Christopher Radko plates so… Continue reading Christmas Home Decor Tour 2013
Christmas Eve Tablescape
I am excited to host my husband's family for Christmas Eve this year, and I've been planning ahead for the meal and table settings this week. Planning ahead helps me control what I can control. I saw my turquoise napkins in a drawer the other day, and it inspired me for my Christmas Eve table setting. I… Continue reading Christmas Eve Tablescape
High Five For Friday!
I love Cyber Monday! On Monday I finished all my Christmas shopping while on my couch, in my pj's! I got some great deals on things for my family...and I got a few things for myself. The Body Shop ran a 50% off + free shipping sale, and I just couldn't resist! I follow Essie… Continue reading High Five For Friday!
Staying Organized At Christmas
My brain is now in full Christmas mode. It's so much fun to get ready for all the various Christmas parties and gatherings throughout December...but it can also get a little hairy. I create a gift organizer every year to keep myself on track so I don't forget anyone or go over budget. I like… Continue reading Staying Organized At Christmas
