Happy Friday, y’all!  As of noon today, we are officially on Christmas break, and we have a nice, long stretch of 17 glorious days off!!  These are my two favorite weeks of the whole year, and I’m looking forward to spending lots of time with family and friends, taking the kids on a special trip to Atlanta, staying up late, sleeping in, eating and drinking all of the yummy stuff, and reveling in many days of downtime.  It is much needed after the month we’ve had full of sickness, rushing around to finish all of the Christmas things, and constantly playing catchup here on the blog.  Momma is tired.

O N E – Women’s Clothes are 30% off at Target through Saturday

Attention ladies, Target has women’s clothing 30% off today and tomorrow!  There are so many cute sweaters, pants, and dresses on sale including this viral bow sweater!  It’s shockingly still fully stocked in all sizes as I type this, and it’s included in the sale!  It delivers before Christmas, too, so you can be the most festive person in the room.  <3


 

T W O – Last Minute Gift Idea

Scarves are back, y’all!  It’s hard to believe that they’re already making a comeback… it seems like we were just accessorizing with them for every outfit during fall and winter, but I guess it’s been over a decade since that trend started.  This blanket scarf is beautiful, and it would make a great last-minute gift.  It’s currently 30% off and it also delivers before Christmas!

 


T H R E E – Gingerbread House Kit

The other day, the kids were talking about how we haven’t done gingerbread houses this year, so I grabbed two of these treehouse kits from Target and we’re going to give them to the kids to do this weekend.  If you’re looking for a fun crafty idea for the whole family to do during the holiday break, these are super fun!  They deliver before Christmas, too.

 


F O U R – Doggie Stocking Stuffer Idea

Don’t forget your pets during the holidays!  These Bocce’s dog treats make the perfect stocking stuffer for your fur baby, and they deliver before Christmas.  They’re made from all natural ingredients – all whole foods – and we’ve loved and purchased them for Maui for years.  She always has a pack or two in her stocking!

 


F I V E – Taylor Swift Content on Threads

I’ve mentioned many times how much I love Threads.  The concept and format are very similar to Twitter, but without all the ads, hate speech, and junk you don’t want to see.  And the Threads algorithm is perfection.  It shows me everything I want to see and nothing that I don’t.  Basically, my entire feed right now is Taylor Swift content, relatable memes, and people lifting one another up.  It’s such a happy place!  I screenshotted several Taylor Swift posts on there recently because they have definitely been a favorite the last couple of weeks, and I wanted to share them here for any of you fellow Swifties, but mostly just for my memories.  <3

Christmas Home Tour 2024

Hey, y’all!  I’m finally sharing our Christmas home tour on the blog today… better later than never!  Not much has changed since last year, but I did change up my garland on the stairs by adding big, satin, red ribbons, and I am in loooove.  I actually wanted the ribbons to be even longer and more dramatic, but Hobby Lobby only had three spools left of the ribbon I needed, so… it is what it is.  ;o)

Come on in!  I’ll just let the pictures do the talking…




























































Moving into my office… my rainbow favorite things tree is still going strong... and I love my newest addition to the tree this year... my Taylor Swift Eras Tour ornament!




Our primary bedroom with all of our wedding ornaments…


Jacob’s room with all of his handmade ornaments through the years…


And Olivia’s room with all of her handmade ornaments through the years…


Aaaand finally, here’s the house all cozy at night… nothing beats this view at night! 








Especially with that fire in the fireplace.  It’s just so cozy!

And that’s the tour, y’all!  Thanks for stopping by! 


Happy Monday, y’all!
