I cannot believe it’s that time of year again but I’m not upset about it one bit! I love the holidays and can’t wait for Christmas this year. I spend a lot of time finding the perfect gifts for our family, and along the way I have ideas for gifting of all kinds. To launch […]
Do you have plans for the July 4th holiday weekend? We usually keep it close to home, although in the past we have often been traveling in Europe instead. Our last July 4th spent abroad was in Croatia. I can remember waking up on our sailboat in Mljet to the sounds of Bruce Springsteen singing […]
Finally, the wine lover’s gift guide! This one is always a pleasure to put together. Wine gifts make great gifts, but if you’re tired of giving the same old corkscrew every year, I rounded up 15 wine gifts that think outside the bottle. Go ahead and pair any one of these with a great bottle […]
When it comes to easy holiday drink recipes, you can count me WAY in. I’m all about making it easy so I can just Christmas and chill. I’ve been curating a group of holiday drinks to take you from cocoa to cocktails (plus easy appetizer pairings), so be sure to check those out below. My […]
I love a festive holiday party, but figuring out what to wear can be a challenge. For me, it’s really the only time of year when wearing sequins and sparkles is comfortable. I know some fabulous ladies who can pull off these adornments in the middle of summer, but yours truly saves these things for […]
Holiday parties. Love them or hate them, they are prolific this time of year. From office to cocktail to dinner party, you can succumb to the stress of not knowing what to bring or wear. But fear not, dear friends, there are easy ways to give your wardrobe a little jingle all the way without […]
It’s no secret around here. We love our coffee. Although most days mean running out the door with a travel mug in hand, on the weekends we love to savor cup after cup in bed. Sometimes we do breakfast, too, but really coffee is the main event. Our sweet Bella enjoys getting back into bed […]
One of the Christmas traditions that I love most is hanging stockings along the mantel. We even have a stocking for our dog, Bella. As a family grows, it’s fun to see the number of stockings increase. At my in-laws’ house, the entire mantel is covered from end to end with matching red and white […]
Last night we were surprised and thrilled to experience a snowfall here in San Antonio. Yes, you read that right…we had snow in Texas! So of course we immediately did what most crazy Texans do when they see snow – every single cliché activity that involves snow! We made snow angels, had a snowball fight, […]
I seriously do not need another thing. I love giving gifts to my friends and family so much more than getting them. That being said, I have family who always ask what I want for Christmas, because they like to give too! And it’s nice to have some kind of idea as to what others […]
I think it’s fair to say the shopping season is officially upon us (BTW, you can easily shop all my holiday gift guides HERE). Did you take advantage of any Black Friday sales? I picked up a couple things online and didn’t actually go anywhere all weekend. It was so nice to have 4 days […]
It’s Thanksgiving week and I have all things cozy on the brain. I just want to sleep in, stay in my pjs all day, sip hot cocoa (or wine) and start decorating for Christmas! We usually have a house full of people this time of year, and being snuggled up indoors with family is exactly […]
