Christmas time is here! ❄

-
Christmas is in the air! Well it is in my house anyways. So today I'm giving you a peak into my home decor for the holiday season!

First up is my Christmas tree. The last few years Ive been all about the purple accents! I love the look of a colour scheme on a tree. There are sentimental ornaments scattered throughout though. I think you can have a mix of both!

❄I bought the ribbon and most of the ornaments on sale! I think I spent only $10 for most of the balls and all of the ribbon. I find the best time to shop for these items is right after Christmas.  I picked them up at Home Depot for 90% off! 
❄Faux fur lined tree skirt was from Michaels last year. 
❄The flower picks, silver twine balls, and other assorted picks were also from Michaels. (All 50-60% off!)
❄The tree was from Loews. It was an investment, but I love it! (My parents liked it too because they went out and bought it  😉) It has various types of stems and pinecones too! It was also on sale. 


Next up is one of my latest projects. I got the inspiration after visiting my friend Melissa's house the other day. Her house felt so magical, so I wanted to amp up my Christmas game! I also had an abundance of ribbon and ornaments left over so it worked out perfectly. I picked up garland at michaels (sale $6 for 9 ft!) Wraped ribbon, added ordaments. Boom 😍
I added the garland to my back door, kitchen nook and the banister down my stairs! 


(Santa was on sale for $25 at local store!)
I bought command strip hooks and used those for both my stairs, and the kitchen nook.  

"The stockings were hung by the chimminy with care." Well we don't have a fireplace let alone a chimminy in our townhouse, so I had to get creative with hanging the stockings.... I love how it turned out. 
(This is right above my couch!) 

I have a white ikea table in my family room. I tried to go more simple as I didnt want to overcrowd the table this year. 


And last but not least was this cute little DIY. I took thumb tacs, ribbon and Christmas ornaments and strung them at various lengths. I saw this idea on Pinterest a few years ago.  

Are you planning on doing any DIYs this Christmas?  Have you already made some?

Well hello there!

Hello! My name is Megan. I've blogged on and off (more off) since 2011! I am a wife, mom, follower of Jesus, lover of fashion, makeup and traveling. This will be reflected in my posts and they will contain a little bit of everything. I also am an M.S. "fighter." My hope is to raise awareness and also encourage anyone who is fighting an autoimmune disease! I got married at the ripe old age of, ahem 19. As you can imagine I got some interesting and sometimes unwarranted reactions. "You're engaged?" " How old are you? Do you know how high the divorce rate is?" " I would never let my daughter get married that young"....yada yada yada. But thankfully I didn't listen to what anyone said! I have been married to my husband for over 6 years and haven't regretted it for one second! I have 2 beautiful boys, Noah (3) and Levi (almost 2) and a puppy named Tucker!  This is my beautiful, complicated and often crazy life.

California February 2018

     Wow time really got away from me the last couple of months. I had meant to post about this a LONG time ago! Here is a recap of my trip to Carlsbad/ San Deigo, California! This was the first time I had ever left my kids, but it was a great recharge for me. I got to tag along for a work conference for my dads company.  Kudos to my husband for totally nailing it at home. And also my dad for winning an award! (At the awards dinner) Carlsbad, California  We stayed at the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad. Its over 4500 acres in total and has a few golf courses. To be honest it felt like its own little town. There were multiple restaurants and a shopping areas, along with over 8 pools! Not going to lie though it was COLD. Like I was shivering without a jacket during the day cold...definitely not the warm Californian escape I was expecting. HA! But I really can't complain because it was a treat to see flowers and palm trees in the winte...
