My House at Christmas
After a long year, Christmas is finally here! Here’s how I decorated our house this year! I was very inspired by the greenery of the evergreen Christmas trees and you’ll see a lot of it on my porch and in various parts of the rooms, I decorate year after year. I think the decorations this year are my favorite ones that I have done yet! I hope you like them and I am wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!

My Porch at Christmas
It’s only in recent years that I have focused more on decorating our front porch for the holidays. It’s not a very big space but I have felt so inspired to make it feel as festive as possible (see my Halloween decor post here)! I am so proud of the Christmas design this year that I thought I would make my porch decorations their own post! My Christmas decor aesthetic is very Christmas traditional. I love greenery, deep reds, cream and off white, and some natural elements and colors thrown in. Last year on the porch I bought some faux garland from Michaels and started it on the small brick…

DIY Christmas Sweater
Who doesn’t love a good Christmas sweater?! When I was younger, I put my degree in Costume Design to good use and created an EPIC ugly Christmas sweater for a party that my friends and I used to have yearly. This is a project I did last year but never got around to sharing it so I thought this year is as good as any! I did this project in one afternoon, it is kind of involved with all the cutting and gluing but I put on a good audiobook and went to town. This sweater turned out better than what I imagined and I will be rocking it again…

My House at Halloween 2020
Happy Halloween week friends! Here is my second annual Halloween decor post. Decorating for any occasion is one of my favorite things to do! For my house, I really focus on making the common areas as festive and cozy as possible. Those areas include the porch, powder room, family room, and kitchen! I hope you enjoy it and be sure to send me photos of how you’ve decorated this year!

Decorating for Halloween
If you know me or have looked at my Instagram around the holidays you would know that I LOVE decorating. Beginning in September I get all my fall décor out and mix it in with my Halloween decorations! My philosophy with decorations is to ALWAYS go for the bargain unless there is a piece that you absolutely love and cannot live without. The clearance section and the discount bins at stores like JoAnn’s, Michaels, and Target are my jam for every decorating occasion! I also like to do holiday crafts when time permits. I don’t really have a theme when it comes to my decorating, I just use what I…

Getting Back On Track After Vacation
After a much needed break from real life it feels really great to be back and creating new content for my little corner of the internet! Our 3 1/2 week European vacation and the sweetest and most romantic marriage proposal 🙂 was just what I needed to recharge my batteries and get excited and motivated to make positive changes in my life. Before we left for vacation I was not eating as well as I would have liked and I had not worked out consistently for quite some time. I was not feeling good about myself which didn’t help in the motivation department. Of course while on vacation I didn’t…

My Paris Bucket List
Since I was young Paris has always been a place I have wanted to visit. It could be the history or the beautiful sites and I have a hunch that it could be that I watched Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s movie Passport to Paris on repeat for about 3 weeks when I was 12. Since becoming an adult my tastes really haven’t evolved much. I love movies that take place in the city of lights, books whose setting takes place there, and I find joy in any music that has an accordion playing in it. I am beyond excited that I get to visit Paris at the end of September…
