Life Lately


Mother Nature delivered some real winter weather to us this week. Snow, wind, and blustery cold weather.
That kind of nonsense definitely called for some hot cocoa by the fire, and our #kingofchristmas flocked Christmas set.


This sweet little elf is making the holiday season so much fun already. The tree went up at her house, instantly stirring her curiosity.
Plus, she’s officially on the move now! Go, baby, go. 👏🏻
Stay tuned for next week. I can’t wait to show you all the pics from this precious miracle’s first birthday party. 💕
In Case You Missed It…
I put out my annual Delivery Driver Thank You Snacks this weekend. I already have several holiday packages and shipments for upcoming sponsored blog post on the way, and wanted to make sure those hard-working drivers felt my appreciation with some holiday cheer.

Early Black Friday Shopping


Pottery Barn is having an amazing early Black Friday sale right now, with 50 to even 70% off Christmas decor and gifts. Check out some of my favorite deals HERE.
Aren’t the vintage-inspired Santa mugs adorable? I’ve been on the hunt for years for some real vintage mugs with no luck. When I spotted this set of 4 on sale for $26 with free shipping on the Pottery Barn site, they were in my cart in a heartbeat. They will do until I can replace them with the real deal.
You can even get THESE sweet little reindeer mugs to go with the Santas.
Is there anything more nostalgic than sipping hot cocoa in front of the tree from an adorable “vintage” mug?

I love all of these wonderful holiday ideas especially the snack tray for delivery people! My sister always puts a hot chocolate bar on her porch for her delivery people. I love this idea and am thinking of a way I could do something similar this year! Wishing you and your family a blessed holiday season.
