Christmas on my Front Porch
December 23, 2015 by · 1 Comment
Good day-before-Christmas Eve! Or Christmas Eve Eve, I suppose? Thank you for your sweet comments on Monday's decor post... I am slowly feeling better following a diagnosis of walking pneumonia and some medication. Most of my "to do's" are done, especially since I erased a bunch of stuff off that list. We can only do what we can do, right? #thestockingswillbepitifulthisyear Today I'm sharing a few pics of my front porch... I finished it … [Read more...]
Christmas in My Home

Well. You know when you have a plan -- a time-table -- all mapped out for getting everything done and being able to kick back and enjoy the holidays? Yeah. Well, that was me. Until the flu. I'm talking laid out in the bed can't pick your head up your kids don't see you for days flu. Truth be told, I'm still only about 30%, but I can be upright for stretches of time, so I call that progress. My decorating had at least been started, the … [Read more...]

Whew!! What an amazing week we had with my family in Texas! Our travel out there was rocky (to say the least), but once we got there it was a lovely relaxing time with some of my favorite people. If you followed along on Instagram, I apologize for the duplicate pics, but there's a few new ones in here, too! And there are a few photos I've saved for our New Years cards so I'll share those soon. Yes, I decided to send NY cards this year, … [Read more...]

Five on Friday {Teacher Gift Edition}

Hi y'all! Woo hoo and TGIF! The hubs and I are headed to the lake to celebrate his birthday with friends this weekend and not a moment too soon. While my to-do list still looms (wrapping, shipping, last minute shopping), God knew he and I needed time in a serene place this weekend. Lots of non-holiday stress has been creeping in and I think a little time in front of a roaring fire with good friends and good food is just what the doctor … [Read more...]

Christmas on the Front Porch

Monday already? Oh did I have a fun and full weekend decking my halls... the inside of my home is still in process, but the porch? Done! I'm not sure why I wanted to put more creativity into it this year. Maybe because we'll be traveling some over Christmas and I'm simplifying my inside decorations? Anyway, after gathering some inspiration, here's where I landed... Come on up! I usually have small trees in these urns, but decided … [Read more...]
DIY Joy Banner
December 5, 2014 by · 2 Comments
There's just something about the word "joy", don't you think? Three simple letters that can flood your heart and soul with the warm fuzzies. I love what it symbolizes this time of year -- waiting in great anticipation for the birth of our Savior, time spent with loved ones, preparations for festivities. Joy-full stuff, all of it. And when I scored some upholstery webbing at the Country Living Fair in October, I had this in mind from the … [Read more...]
