2020 would have been unbearable if it weren’t for this man right here.

This year we have become not only coworkers but co-teachers. Both of us working full-time while helping our daughter with her kindergarten classes has been no easy task and yet he was always there to lighten the load.

I have been blessed, this year, to have so many partnerships with brands that I admire and respect and he consistently supported my efforts to cultivate those relationships and grow my business.

He has also taken on many responsibilities outside of the home like picking up groceries and packages since being outside with an auto-immune disease is such a risk.

I always knew that we were a team, that we were partners in life, but this year… this year showed me that no matter what circumstances we would face, no matter how trying things would get, we would make it through together.

Thank you so much for being all that I imagined you would be when we said I do.. and so much more.❤️

Hey friend! This will be my last post for 2020. I will be taking a short break from IG for a time, while I rest, recharge, and get some amazing new opportunities off the ground!

I hope you all have a Happy New Year and see you in 2021!

HOW IT STARTED vs. HOW IT’S GOING

Notice the difference?!

If you have that confused look on your face, you aren’t missing something. There is no difference between the 2 pictures.

2020 threw not just one, but many, curveballs...all at the same time 🤦🏾‍♀️ And while we have made the best of what we were given, possibly even achieving goals we didn’t think we could, there were many goals and projects left unfinished, like this hallway.

I had every intention of finishing it. I planned blog posts and emails and Instagram posts around finishing this project and it never happened.
And you know what…

THAT’S OK.

We can’t look at things this year and think that we have failed because we had to switch our focus.

We had to look after our families’ wellbeing.
We had to look after our physical health.
We had to look after our mental health.
We had to pivot our businesses.
We had to adjust.
We had to shift.
We had to try and live to see another day.

So while finishing this hallway has now become a 2021 goal, I am pretty proud to have successfully made it to the other side of 2020.

What were some unfinished plans you had or how did you have to switch your focus this year?

Christmas is now over and the question on everyone

Christmas is now over and the question on everyone’s mind is... who’s going to take it all down and when?!👀

No matter if you are already pulling off the tinsel garlands or if you will have those lights up for a few more weeks, organizing your Christmas decorations is the best way to get a head start on next year!

Since the decorations are only pulled out for a few weeks, the rest of the year it always gets stored out of the way, in my attic.

It can be so tempting to just shove everything in a corner but over the years I have perfected my holiday storage system.

Head over to my blog (link in my bio) as I share all the ways I store and protect my holiday decor, making Christmas decorating easier each and every year.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours!!! ☺️

Old photo, same mood! Cheers to staying up late trying to wrap those last minute gifts.

Even though we are celebrating a little differently this year, I can't wait to gather around the table with my family and get that warm and fuzzy feeling as my kids open their presents.

Have you finished wrapping all your Christmas gifts?

With Christmas dinner being more intimate this time around, taking time to pick out a stunning plate, impressive silverware and napkins that accent perfectly is a great way to still bring a special feeling to the dinner table this season.

How are you choosing to make this Christmas special?

Winter break is here and that means my kids will be living in the kitchen.

Baking is one of our favorite things to do as a family, especially during the holidays. I love watching them work to “help” each other and who can say no to smell of warm, freshly baked cookies?!🍪🍪🍪

This is one family tradition I hope they never get tired of!
Is there anything special you cook or bake during the holidays?
