Surprise! I have a post for you on a Sunday. I haven’t sent out a post on a Sunday…ever! But I am joining my Seasons of Home Blog Tour and this is the day that worked for everyone.
Today we are sharing Christmas touches in our Bedroom. Now I don’t do a lot but I did make some “winter” changes that I am loving…a new idea to hang above your bed! And a few other fun changes.
A little behind the scenes- this is is what Finn did with one of the Christmas touches I added…right in his mouth:)
Hi! Happy Friday! I took some time digging through my favorite sites for THE BEST GIFT GUIDES for HER! Most everything is $25 and under! I am going to bet that you will want to get a few of these things for yourself (you know I did). It is basically my Friday Favorites- but in a new way for the season. There are two on my the blog today.
We have family coming into town today until next Saturday. Excited for the family time. Hope you have a great one!
PLEASE reply to this email- tell me what gift guides you want to see!
I asked you! And you said you wanted to see Casual Entertaining Ideas! So that’s what I shared! I gave SIX TIPS for Casual Entertaining!
PS- I got a NEW chandelier in this room and I changed the art that was above the banquette…brought something out from the basement! Kevin said he likes it better:) hmmmmmm I like both.
PSS- There are SIXTEEN bloggers linked at the end of the post sharing their Entertaining Ideas!!
PSSSSSSS- This might be my FAVORITE post I have ever done.
That’s all. Hope to see you on my blog today friends!
Hi friends! I meant to share my “Ask a Designer Series” yesterday but my blog had a glitch and it didn’t publish! So I will share it this week for sure!
TODAY I am sharing how I added some simple touches to our kitchen. It all started with the garland and that fresh eucalyptus. Come see how I used it! It is also our Seasons of Home Tour today! You can link to all the rest of the amazing bloggers on the tour today at the end of my post.
I have shared my love for bar carts before. I think they are probably one of the greatest piece of furniture to own. They are so versatile. You can style them for everyday use in your home or deck them out for a Christmas or Holiday party. I am pretty over the moon with the new bar cart I just got. I shared TWO ways to style them for everyday use and my favorite holiday drink!
I am pretty sure you will be baking this weekend or these next few weeks. I shared two of our favorite recipes. One is a brownie that is made with only a few ingredients and no flour…trust me it is a fan favorite and probably my favorite treat. The other recipe is a healthy nut bar that looks festive and tastes just as good- this is a great gift to share too! Come see what is keeping this little one waiting patiently at the oven!
A few years ago I hosted a baby shower and wanted a unique party favor. I made these glass cake pedestals for a dollar or two. They were a big hit. I thought how great they would be as a little easy DIY Christmas gift. I wrapped some apples and oranges on top of one. Come see how it turned out and how easy this little project was!
I think Christmas cards can cause a big stress for families- because most of the time they require a darling family picture. I almost went there and jumped on the stressed out Christmas card train. But I didn’t let myself. I stopped and thought “how can I make this the easiest and fun for my family?” And it totally worked! Come see what we did this year, how I display all our Christmas cards and the very first photo we ever took in front of our home.
I am excited to share more of our home decorated for Christmas. I shared one of our hardest working rooms- our family room and guest room all decked out with a full size Christmas tree. I also shared some new dining chairs I tried in our kitchen- that my husband wasn’t a fan of. Pop over to see it all!
My daughter just turned 6! She knew exactly what type of Birthday party she wanted. She insisted on a craft and she didn’t have to ask me twice! We made the cutest “Better than Salt Dough” ornaments. I made another batch the next day and am using them on our Christmas Presents- trust me you want to see how they turned out!
