Christmas porch
Again, I couldn’t help myself. Once our porch was stripped of the pumpkins that were past their prime and the frost-bitten topiaries, it looks a little sad. And it certainly doesn’t help that we don’t have one evergreen plant or bush in the front gardens. Everything is brown and leafless, just emphasizing the ugly side […]
dining room christmas tree
I wasn’t sure if I was going to get a second tree this year. It’s been a little hard to really dig into the holiday decorating with it being our first year in this house, but as Christmas crept closer, I just couldn’t resist. I mean, I had acquired an antique goat cart this summer […]
Christmas foyer
For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to have a staircase with pretty railings, bannisters, and a newel post. Specific, I know, but I just have a thing for staircases.

season of giving | using social media for good

master bedroom tour
It occurred me to, as I was angst-ing over spending my entire Thanksgiving trying to get this room holiday-blog-ready, that I haven’t even shown our master bedroom in this new house. I started doing a room-by-room home tour when we moved in and I got busy with other things and never finished. It also occurred […]
November Favorites
Another month is behind us and that means I have some new favorites to share with you! I am enjoying these posts more and more and, I think, a large part of it is that it makes me mindful of the things I’m really enjoying. I take note of them as something worth sharing. Whether […]
the 90’s called…
I usually don’t put up my tree before Thanksgiving, but this year, I had some Christmas posts I committed to and putting up a tree was a part of that. I’m no stranger to setting up a tree at odd times, though. And late November isn’t odd compared to some of the times I’ve had […]
