let the holiday decorating begin (just kidding it’s been Christmas over here for a few weeks) but while we’re on the topic of decorating, swapping pillowcases on my throw pillows is my favorite (and affordable) decor hack. Throw pillows are pricey so why not buy the inserts and then splurge on pillowcases for every single season!

If you love these ones, they’re linked in my Amazon Storefront in my bio!

Hosting for Thanksgiving? One of my hacks is to set the dinner table as early as possible, preferably the night before. Nothing sucks worse than rushing through the tiny details that make the day feel that much more special.

So, take this as your sign to set the table early so you can kick back with that glass of wine and turn on the Friends Thanksgiving episodes tonight with not a care in the world. Okay maybe you have a few cares if you’re hosting! Lol.

✨Inspo for your morning coffee ✨

iced coffee is so much more fun to drink when it’s festive. AND…These ice molds can be used for so much more than coffee cubes. Think cocktails, ice cubes or even as chocolate molds.

There was never a world where there was Memie with

There was never a world where there was Memie without Papa. They epitomized what it meant to be joined together as one. They showed me what true, committed love looks like in sickness and in health.

From their teens they fell in love and married in 1950 and lived a full life together for 75 years. They had four children which turned into nine grandchildren, and 11 great grandchildren. They truly built a legacy together cultivating a life of love, nurturing and lasting memories that will live in our hearts forever.

God’s plan though always trumps our own and on October 30, God called His son home to Him. Papa is now rejoicing in heaven with his family who have gone before him and even though the grief we’re feeling is for us here, he has received his eternal happiness in his new home.

Papa would tell anyone about the Lord who would listen and I think this promise of God’s word is what has given our family hope and peace in this incredibly difficult time.

Papa inspired me to be so on fire for God and now in his passing, I will continue to share his legacy throughout the rest of my life. Papa, we love and miss you dearly but we know you’re rejoicing right now in heaven!🤍

This is your sign to rent a remote cabin in the hills, buy way too much food and 20 bottles of prosecco and celebrate your 40th birthday together!

It’s wild to think we’ve been friends for over 25 + years and we’re still going strong. Im already counting down to celebration next year! 🤍
