What we've been up to lately...



Counting Down To Christmas // My Love For Words
Scraps Christmas Tree Pillow // Child At Heart
Typographic Wrapping Paper // A Sweet Fragrance
Teacher Holiday Gifts // Morganize With Me

Here are my favorites from last week:

Brown Paper Christmas Tree // Sweet Parrish Place
I just love how this Christmas tree looks! I also love that she mentioned it's the perfect project to do while watching a movie. That sounds like my kind of project!


Christmas Mantle // The Colored Door
I love the simplicity and colors of this mantel. The different textures and patterns all work together to make this one chic Christmas mantel. I might have to borrow the garland idea...


My last 3 features offer some great advice for a low-stress holiday along with some ways to remember the real reason for the season.

The Do's and Don'ts of Trimming the Tree with Small Children //  Travelin' Fam
Useful (and hilarious) tips for staying joyful while trimming the trees with little ones.


A great post on making concrete plans to reach goals during one of the busiest times of the year. There's also a wonderful list of 25 advent activities for inspiration. I love the focus and simplicity of her list!


A Modern and Eclectic Christmas // Army Wife to Suburban Life
I love this home tour with a little description of the simple, holiday additions that she added to each room. At the end, she gives some thrifty tips on decorating your home for the holidays. My favorite: "Visit Dollar Tree first, Target last" ;-)

  1. Thanks for hosting! I need to check out the teacher holiday gifts post. I just realized that I don't have anything for our principal or school secretary.

    1. So glad to see you again, Barb! I loved Morgan's post about the teacher gift. I was once a first grade teacher and would have really appreciated some Mexican food condiments and seasonings :-)
