Christmas Decor Makes Me Happy

December 8, 2012

We’ve actually had almost all of our Christmas decorations up since Thanksgiving Day.  It’s one of the traditions in our house.  After we eat our Thanksgiving meal we start the decorating process.  Since then, I’ve added a few new things here and there.  I thought I’d share a few of our decor items for this year.
Our Christmas tree and village

Christmas village that my kids put out every year near the tree.  They add a new house every year.

Yes, I already put these in a previous post.  That’s because I am LOVING these sequin and glitter candles that are in the candelabra on my fireplace hearth in the tv room.

Decorated mantel by the kitchen table.  The presents light up.

If you live in Texas then you know Santa likes to wear his finest cowboy attire.
A decorated mantel in my kitchen.

It has been quite warm here in Texas.  However, a few days from now we actually have a chance of snow.  A sprinkling of snow, that is.  The Dallas area is a funny place with the weather.  It just depends  on the direction of the wind in determining the temperature.  One day we have 75 degrees and the next it could be 35 degrees.  I’m looking forward to the cold for a few days.  It feels more like Christmas when it’s actually cold.

I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season so far!!

    So pretty! The temps have been the same way in Kentucky lately. I’ve had the windows open the last few days and now there is a small chance of snow in the forecast but the temps are going to drop! Sending love to you and your family this Christmas!

I enjoy dressing up a little for dinner when we’re I enjoy dressing up a little for dinner when we’re cruising. Do you do the same?

Both of my outfits in this video are extremely comfortable, wrinkle resistant, travel friendly and versatile.

Outfit 1: The Tillie Top and Lolly pants are 2 of my favorite pieces that I often pair together. They both come in solids and some beautiful prints as well as different fabrics.✨

Outfit 2: The Delphine Dress is perfection with its flattering fit. I love the Black and Red Grand Plaid print.

By adding a few accessories I make each outfit my own. Don’t you just love that about accessories?!💖 

I’m telling you, if you haven’t tried @judeconnally clothing yet, you need to asap!

Dubrovnik, Croatia is a beautiful city filled with Dubrovnik, Croatia is a beautiful city filled with such interesting history. Here’s a small peek at our day here. 

We started with a walking tour of the old town, took a little glass bottom boat ride, had a scrumptious lunch and bought a few souvenirs. It was a great day all around!

Traveling sets my soul on fire. How about you?

Rain or shine, the excursions must go on! Unfortu Rain or shine, the excursions must go on!

Unfortunately, our tour of Corfu, Greece was a bust today because we had the rainiest day here. But the good news is that the sun is now shining and it should remain that way for the remainder of our cruise.☀️

My sweatshirt, packable jacket and rain hat are 3 of my best travel pieces and they all came in handy today. Let me know if you want the details.😉

Have you been following my trip in my feed and stories? Be sure to hit my highlights too as I try to save everything there.😁

Today, we stepped way back in time with a tour of Today, we stepped way back in time with a tour of the Ancient Olympia Archeological Site, where the Ancient Olympics were born.

And no day would be complete without a Greek Salad with delicious fresh Feta cheese. Yum!

Our first day in Greece has been perfect. We slep Our first day in Greece has been perfect.

We slept in this morning after about 20 hours of travel and then hit the ground running in tourist mode.

The Acropolis and Parthenon were within walking distance to our hotel. It was incredible to see and hear the history. It was crowded, but probably not as bad as summertime.

All of our meals here were delicious, the people were friendly, the city is clean and felt safe.

Athens gets an A+ rating from us.💗

Tonight we get on our cruise ship, so be sure to follow along if you’re interested in ancient Greece, the Adriatic and Venice.
