Best Wishes and Merry Christmas!

 Hello dear friends! I was off to a late start with the Christmas décor this year, so no Christmas tour! Though there is a quick video tour HERE(if you want to see more). I wanted to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Sending you much love, and wishes of peace and joy this holiday. Be safe. xx

Christmas 2021 Around Our Home

It's hard to believe that Christmas is just a couple days away! I barely got this post up as it's been such a hectic season. I won't be doing much narrating for this one as you already know it's going to be loaded with color and fun, PLUS, the pics speak for themselves. Speaking of pictures, there are many in this post- usually I try to break up the posts into two, but since I'm posting so late this year, you're getting everything all at once. So grab a cup of coffee or tea, and enjoy. This year,  I might've gone overboard with the Christmas trees; this is the first time I've had 4 Christmas trees up! So here we go, starting with the living room and the pink tree:

Living Room

Foyer

I used left over wallpaper to make a paper chain which is pictured on the antler in the foyer. The disco balls make several appearances throughout the tour as they bring me so much joy! Chair pictured is this one from Anthropologie. 

Next Up is the Sunroom

I usually just wrap the plants in these twinkly lights as there is no space for a tree in here.

Playroom

The hubby is away so no chalk mural this year. I do think the love sign is still apt

 no matter the season. The tree in here screams child friendly as it should. Cheyenne keeps rearranging the ornaments aka taking them off the tree:-) I love how everything looks in here since I updated the space earlier this year.

Cheyenne's Room

The dormer in Cheyenne's room got a cute silver tree. I didn't place ornaments on it as it really didn't need any, especially against that wallpaper. You should see the light show it puts as the colors change-so pretty!

The Boys' Room

I typically keep it simple and do the same thing every year in here.

Master Bedroom

I started placing a tree in our bedroom a few years ago and though it's a hassle since I have to move stuff around to accommodate the tree, it's so worth it to me! That glow in the room especially in the evening time makes me so happy! The balloons add whimsy and also distract Cheyenne from messing with the ornaments:-).

On the other side of the room where I recently added a gallery wall.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas. Much love and joy to you and yours! xx

Tis The Season.

I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving(those of us who celebrated in the U.S.) We had family visit and it was such a treat! But now it's time for my favorite Holiday season-tis the season and the most wonderful time of the year! It's countdown to Christmas time! I am currently covered in tinsel and playing Michael Bublé Christmas songs on repeat. I bought a pink Christmas tree this year and can't wait to show you decked out for the Holidays. In the meantime, I'll leave you to drool on this floral Christmas tree masterpiece installation from Hello Floral. So stunning!

 

I hope you have the best day! xx

Our Smart Garage Upgrade In Time For The Holidays

This post is sponsored by LiftMaster 

We’ve been slowly and meticulously adding smart home devices to our home that not only enrich our lifestyle and help us to be more efficient, but also help to ease some of the stresses that come with busy parenting. 

 

I am never not multitasking and now because of the pandemic and working from home in addition to the children being home all day and virtual school, life hasn’t slowed down a bit. Now that we are in the Holiday season, things are even more hectic, so I was thrilled to partner with LiftMaster to help ease some of the Holiday stress and to simplify the Holidays! Our garage is now equipped with myQ smart access technology, thanks to the installation of the LiftMaster WLED Wi-Fi Garage Door Opener, LiftMaster Smart Garage Camera, and the Yale | LiftMaster Smart Lock. 

What does this mean for a very busy Mama? 

This means I no longer have to worry that I left my garage door open and about my Amazon Prime packages sitting outside for too if I am not home because I had to make a Starbucks run or if I’m too busy helping my kids with online learning to go get it right away. LiftMaster’s myQ powered devices all work seamlessly with Key by Amazon In-Garage Delivery to provide Amazon Prime members with a secure, contactless and convenient place for all of their package deliveries. 

An easy upgrade to an existing myQ connected garage door opener, the Smart Garage Camera can be quickly installed and connected for added convenience and peace of mind. The myQ app allows you to see and monitor what’s happening in your garage in real-time when you are not home, adding streaming video, recorded events, and 2-way communication to the myQ App. 

 

This holiday season will be different than any other because of the pandemic but having a myQ smart garage can help alleviate some of this season's biggest concerns - like protecting your holiday packages against damage, theft and weather. 

With a built-in wide-angle HD camera, I enjoy the convenience of being able to see as the boys play in the driveway. The real-time video monitoring lets me see if they are playing in the cul-de-sac as instructed if I am not readily able to go outside with them. 

Did I Close The Garage Door? 

No more wondering if the garage door was left open. Receive alerts or check the status of your garage door from your phone—no matter where you are. We’re really loving having our myQ Smart Garage. 

Christmas 2020 Around Our Home

Hi everyone! Here are some peeks of Christmas at our home. I didn't have any fancy photo shoot this year. These are just some pics that I snapped with my phone. 

I have a gazillion bottle brush trees! They are sprinkled everywhere!

This prelit tree was such a joy to put up! Easy peasy and all my collected vintage ornaments look beautiful on it!

Cheyenne's pretty dress is from Cuteheads

This is the children's tree that I moved into the Master bedroom since they are always hanging out in here anyway.  All plush ornaments and diy garlands and some pom pom garlands adorn the tree. I added the colorful paper fan for an overload of whimsy and fun. Cheyenne's pretty dress is from Cuteheads

I usually hang colorful Christmas light above the map mural and love dressing them in matching pajamas. So cute!

All my thrifted candlesticks 

I made this alternative tree using colorful post its a couple years ago and decided to make one again this year. 

They are growing so fast! 

Of course, Glory The Fig has to have some twinkly lights too! 

That Ikea light was made for Christmas time! I love the shadows it cast on the ceiling. The hubby has been working on a chalk mural and I am excited to share, so stay tuned for that. xx
