Christmas Around the World

December 25, 2016 No Comments

Merry Christmas everyone! Today we celebrate Christmas around the world! As I watched National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation last night, I was reminded how I used to drive my Grandma Lashlee and my mom around town looking at Christmas lights. Sometimes my Grandpa Lashlee would go with us. My grandma would love these lovely Christmas lights from around the world. From left to right (top to bottom): Washington, D.C., Mexico City (Mexico), Rio de Janiero (Brazil), Nigeria, Gothenburg (Sweden), Venice (Italy), Munich (Germany), Sydney (Australia), and India. I especially find Christmas in Paris particularly beautiful! Christmas in London isn’t half bad either! I […]

On Sunday morning, as I was putting away my laundry, I realized that my dresser drawers were over-stuffed and unorganized. So what did I do?

I didn’t go so far as to color coordinate my clothes, but I can see how this method of organizing can help one declutter their […]

Tablescape Ideas for Thanksgiving

November 23, 2016 No Comments

I love Thanksgiving. The turkey and dressing. The sweet potato casserole. The green beans and buttery soft rolls. The pumpkin and pecan pies. It’s such a delicious holiday! Even though I won’t be home this year to celebrate the holiday with my family, it doesn’t mean that I don’t love this holiday. Not only do I love the food, but I love the beautiful tablescapes. The table decorations are almost just as important as the food. Setting the scene not only brings people together, but can be a great conversation starter. I love simple tablescapes that don’t interfere with the […]
