Over the past couple of years I have created different Advent calendars at christmas time to celebrate the holiday season. I remember when my kids were toddlers feeling the pressure to do everything the Christmas season had to offer. Make christmas cookies, go caroling, drive around and look at christmas lights. Make sure we watch ALL the christmas movies, get matching christmas pajamas, celebrate advent, attend our churches christmas eve service in our new holiday outfits, and the list goes on and on. What I learned over the years, is what sticks with our kids is not so much the “doing” of all the things, but celebrating the little things. And to me that's what Advent is all about! ...

21 Gifts for Mom – she’ll really want
I don't know about you, but I am finding that the older I get, the gifts I want most seem to be whatever I have my eye on that will make homemaking easier, lol. Sure it's nice to get some new clothes or perfume, but I really want an upgrade to some of the appliances and household items I use on a daily basis. Don't you find that when you have something that works really well, it feels less like a chore, and you are happier to tackle that to-do list? Maybe it's just me, but I have a feeling I'm not the only one. Life is busy, and hectic, and I'll take all the help I can get to be more efficient around our home, so I can spend more time cuddling on the couch with my kiddos. So I put together ...

A little Christmas Nostalgia
You've heard me say it before! Actually I feel like it's all I've been saying for at least the last few years. When it comes to decorating for Christmas I love using tiny trees! Like seriously LOVE. lol. I've been adding tiny trees to me christmas decor for at least the last 5 years, and 4 years ago my husband jokingly decided to count them until the number reached over 100 and he gave up, ha! Well, I've still been adding since then, and I've shared HERE and HERE on the blog many different ways I've decorated with them. But what I haven't shared is where the obsession came from. So today, I'm sharing a little christmas nostalgia in where my love for decorating with trees all ... Read More about A little Christmas Nostalgia

5 Tips for Decorating for Christmas
Do you hit a wall with decorating? I mean, I think we all hit a wall at some point or another, but do you hit a wall when it comes to decorating for Christmas? I do. No joke, as much as I love decorating for christmas, and anticipate it all year long, there comes a point ohhh about 2/3 of the way in to decorating our home for Christmas that I hit a wall. It's kind of like when you have a christmas cookie, and then another, and then another, and then you make a cup of coffee, because what wouldn't better than a hot cup of jo to accompany said christmas cookies, then you have a few more, and all of a sudden you hit that wall of christmas cookie overload, and suddenly you've had too much.

Favorite Christmas Decor Finds | 2018
Hello Friends!! I hope you are easing into this week slowly. For me the week after Thanksgiving is always the busiest on the blog, and with design clients. While I don't take on design clients anymore, I have a few commercial clients that I still decorate their spaces for the holidays, and it's a fun twist, because I get to bring out my inner "shop-owner" and do store front displays, that are different from your typical holiday home decor. Needless to say it's a busy week, so this week begins my holiday slow down process. Where the rushing around, and shopping become more of a joy, because they don't require deadlines. So to ease into this week (in case you have a case of the Monday's too ... Read More about Favorite Christmas Decor Finds | 2018

Hello friends!

Cozy Throw Pillows & a GIVEAWAY!!
Hello Friends!! First, I just have to say THANK YOU so much for all your kind comments on my Holiday Housewalk post yesterday!! It means so much!!! This year I have taken my time in decorating our home for Christmas. In years past, I've had magazine commitments that required me to decorate early, and leave our Christmas decor up much longer than I normally would, but this year I've been able to take my time, deadline free, and it's been wonderful. Don't get me wrong I completely, 100%, enjoy decorating for Christmas, but it's nice to go at my own pace, and really spend some time focusing on different areas instead of rushing to the finish line. We just put our tree up the day before ... Read More about Cozy Throw Pillows & a GIVEAWAY!!
