Happy New Year friends!!! I hope you are resting in reflecting with full hearts after all of the holiday celebrations, and everything that came with 2017. This past week has been FULL of spending time with family, even last night, we rang in the New Years here at home with our kids, and my sister, her husband and darling 3 yr. old niece. I have to say it truly is a highlight to see the joy on my kids faces as we celebrate the holidays, the many blessings God has poured out in our lives, and now the anticipation of what the New Year will bring. ...

A Year in Review {2017}
It's always fun to look back over the past year. As the new year approaches, and we wind down from the holidays. The last Christmas cookie is digested, and my pants seem to have gotten 2 sizes smaller in ONE week, I look forward to the New Year with great anticipation. With the kids home on from school on Christmas break, and family visiting, we have spent our days soaking in our time together, and it truly has been so much fun. However, I told my husband the other day, that this structure loving person is craving some routine. I never realized how much I crave routine, until it's gone! With 2018 right around the corner, I always love to look back over the past year. There is something about ... Read More about A Year in Review {2017}
Styling a Christmas Vignette
One of the things I always do is style our buffet in our dining room to coordinate with the rest of my christmas decor. I get text messages from friends around the holidays with pictures of their buffets, or side tables, or books shelves asking for my design eye to take a look and make sure nothing is missing. I love helping others love the spaces they are in, so I love helping my friends make their homes festive for the holidays too! Vignettes have to be one of my favorite things to do, other than tablescapes of course! So today I'm sharing some photos with you on how I style a christmas vignette. ...

Christmas in the Dining Room {Part 2.}
Hello Friends! Sometimes I get asked the question, especially after I share an elaborate tablescape post, if my dining room always looks that way? The answer is always NO, because let's face it, sometimes my dining room table gets lost under the piles of stuff that life can accumulate, to the point where my husband will ask if we still own a dining room table?! Ha Ha! For the most part our dining room looks like it did in the Holiday Housewalk this year. Well when I clean it for company. But that also gave me the idea of some easy ways to decorate your table for Christmas even when you aren't hosting a dinner, because sometimes walking by that empty bare table when the rest of the house is ...

Frosted Winter Tablescape
Hello Friends!! I hope you are good as we countdown to Christmas!! We got our first snowfall over the weekend, with another one happening right now as we speak, so it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here. Today I wanted to share with you the tablescape I created last year for the Better Homes & Gardens Christmas Ideas magazine (still out on newsstands now!). I'm titling this one the "Frosted Winter Tablescape", because it's full of "frosted" winter greens like dusty miller, and even some soft succulents, along with plenty of winter greens! ...

Miss Mustard Seed White Wax
Hello friends!! I hope your week is off to a great start! Thank you so much for all your kind words on our Christmas Housewalk tour this year! It's one of my favorite tours to be apart of, and when I started decorating for christmas this year, I knew I wanted to keep things simple, but something felt missing. While that something was all my fresh garland I added around our home. Because it's fresh the earliest I can put it up is the week after Thanksgiving if I want it to last up until Christmas, and I would be so bummed not to have it up in our house when my family comes to celebrate Christmas with us, so that is why I wait. Even when blogland wants christmas photos before thanksgiving, ... Read More about Miss Mustard Seed White Wax

Hot Chocolate Bar
Hello Friends! We have been thoroughly enjoying our weekend. Watching christmas movies, making hot cocoa, and hosting our first holiday party of the season. I don't know why but during the holidays I crave hot chocolate more than any other time throughout the year. It's the perfect afternoon treat, and I find the kids craving it just as much as I have been lately. To keep things easy to reach I like to set up a little hot chocolate bar in our kitchen so you can make it whenever the cravings strike! ... Read More about Hot Chocolate Bar

Christmas in the Office
Hello Friends! Have you recovered yet from perhaps the over eating on Thanksgiving, and maybe some extensive shopping done over the weekend to take advantage of the sales? I'm about 90% done with my Christmas shopping. Honestly this is the first year I think I've ever been that close to being done and it's not even December 1st?! I took advantage of the sales over the weekend, and crossed just about everybody off my list, including a few things for myself! ... Read More about Christmas in the Office

Hi Friends! I hope you've had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. Did you take advantage of a little black Friday shopping??

Just a few more small things to get and I'm done, but knowing me that won't happen until the week before Christmas, lol.
