Handpicked Holiday Table Decor Must-Haves
It’s official: the holiday season has begun! The menu has been set, but what about the table? While this is meant to be a time of relaxation and quality time with the family, it often ends up being one big stress-fest. No need to fret, though, there are ways around this chaotic time that allows you to enjoy the process and avoid the stress.
I’m here to show you the best way to decorate your home for Turkey Day. There’s nothing quite like pairing a fantastic dinner with decoration that everyone will appreciate. This can be overwhelming, though, and I get that. The kids are running around, football is probably way too loud, and the mashed potatoes are just a tad bit too runny. Been there, done that.
Let's Talk about Hygge

Ready or Not, Daylight Savings in Coming
Whether we are ready or not, winter is coming. Sunday, November 7th, marks the day we “fall back” an hour, where the sun slips away early, taking our precious evening light with it. Our bodies have a system called the Circadian Rhythm, which works to regulate when our bodies are awake, and when it is time for sleep, all based on the lighting in our environment. This affects our mental state, our productivity, our sleep cycle and so much more. So, it’s important, but seems to struggle more in the winter with our limited daylight hours.
Our days don’t end at 5 PM when the sun decides to head out, so the next step is working with daylight savings, instead of against it. Just because it is dark and gloomy and cold outside, doesn’t mean your home has to be the same!

Staging for the Holidays
75 days. We are only 75 days out from Christmas!! Can you believe it? Where in the world has 2021 gone? I know many of you can relate. And, you know if Christmas is only 75 days away, Thanksgiving will be here before we know it.
With these wonderful seasons ahead, we have so much to look forward to. The joy, the time with family, the delicious meals, and plenty of time to celebrate. But often times these seasons come with plenty of stressors, too. Too much to do, and too little time. Preparing meals, cleaning … all the cleaning. Gift buying. Deadlines, and wrapping up end of year projects. Not to mention hosting family and friends.
