Love is in the Air

Teeny Tiny Love Banner

It's almost here! Valentine's day!!! I have never been one of those people that gets mad at the Hallmark holiday. Single or coupled, it's a day to celebrate love and have an excuse to have pink, girly, decorations all over. Sometimes I think I get more excited when I see Valentine's day decorations over Christmas ones because they are just so pretty. This year the hubs and I are going to go out to dinner the Saturday before (avoiding the pre-fixe menus which I feel the opposite of love for) and then the actual day, I'll make us dinner which we will eat on a fabulously adorned table. Until I get to do that, I will pacify myself with the following festiveness in my home. 

The official candy of Valentine's Day...I swear they taste better this year (or maybe it's my hormones)

Pink Roses in the bedroom

More pink in the dining room 

Love tray with the mail 

Garland in the entry... oh and my poinsettia which seems to be the only plant I haven't killed

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Friends! I hope that you have a wonderful holiday with delicious food, thoughtful gifts, sparkle, and most importantly the people you love the most, enjoy!  xoxo

Home for the Holidays

Our tree...with no branch left unadorned

So my posting hasn't been very regular. Went from Halloween decor to Christmas (with a baby in between!). Christmas is my all time favorite holiday and for the past 4 years my husband and I have picked out our tree and decorated over festive cocktails (this year mine was sparkling cider). Here is our tree (which is sadly already dead as a door nail) and a few of the festive touches keeping us in the holiday spirit! 

Beautiful Bouquet from the in-laws

A portion of our holiday cards- LOVE getting these in the mail

No chimney, so the stockings hang from a door...mine is still empty (hint hint hubs)

Wedding guests you remember this guy! Our house mascot in his Santa gear

This is Halloween

Our Little Pumpkin Family

This year marks the first of my life that I did not dress up for Halloween. Even though I didn't come up with a costume for myself, I made sure to decorate our home. My Halloween decor collection isn't very large at this point but I love a little bit of the season in different rooms. That way I stay in the spirit without having to squeeze into, say, a "sexy blogger" costume;). If you are less of a granny than me and are going out tonight, I hope you get lots of drinks and/or lots of candy! Happy Halloween!
