You’ll find simple DIY projects, wonderful recipes, home decor ideas and heartfelt gratitude. So grab you’re favorite cup of and see all the goodness I have waiting for you today!
We woke up to a few inches of snow, this morning! It’s so beautiful and makes me even more excited for Christmas. Snow and Christmas…they just go together! If you don’t live in a place that gets snow, I hope you have had the opportunity to experience the magic of it sometime!
“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently. And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt.”

My Personal Moments
- I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Mine was full of family, yummy food, a game or two of Skip-Bo and fun turkey making crafts with the kids. It was the perfect day!
- I’m heading out to see Wicked For Good this afternoon and I can’t wait! I loved the first movie and I’m sure this one will not disappoint. Have you seen the movies? The singing is absolutely phenomenal!
- I painted my nails red and they are making me super happy! I recently purchased Sally Hansen Insta-Dri ASAP Apple. It’s one of my favorite brands, affordable, and trust me, it’s the perfect color for Christmas!
- I’m a collector of sorts. I love collecting dishes and pretty textiles. I also am obsessed with books and beautiful home decor books. The Home Bird: Creating Joyful Interiors Where Old Meets New by Elle Hervin is a beauty! If you seek interior decor inspiration, this is the book for you!
