2018 has been the most transformational year yet!
Brunch has become a favorite…a big favorite. I love all the flavors that pair well with coffee or lattes and between mixing and matching a variety of dishes, the possibilities seem endless. I’ll be making a few things the night before so that Christmas morning we can really soak in all it’s beauty: Jesus, pajamas, and family. Oh, and coffee. I will be sipping on that all morning long. 😉
‘Tis the season for family, friends, and cheese boards. Right? I love a good cheese board so I thought it would be fun to break down some of my favorite elements for you!
kind! and a soft cheese is great as well

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind. Rewind to mid-November when I text our realtor about a house that we fell in love with. A few days later we went to see it. Then, we found ourselves back again for another visit. And by that night we put an offer on the house. Two days later it was ours. Ours. This dream house right before the holidays. Waving goodbye to what we’ve known and ushering in the new.
Since it’s Capri’s first Christmas we agreed that some decor should and would make an appearance, even if it was only for a short time. So even though our halls aren’t fully decked, that’s okay. Even though gifts are under a fake tree right now, that’s okay. Even though boxes look like they are the star of the show, thats okay because it gave me the perfect opportunity to stop, pause, and reflect on the true meaning of this season and to slow down. And even though the glitz and glam of it all isn’t present decor-wise, the other night I envisioned something simple, cozy, and welcoming that I couldn’t shake and had to recreate. A few days later I found myself buying some oranges, playing Christmas music and soaking up this season as I strung dried oranges on some string.
string the best. Hang with greenery or by itself.
