Well Hello!
For 2014, my goal is to be a better blogger among so many other "New Years Resolutions".
BUT...
This past year I have really taken a lot of time to focus & reflect on my daughter and spend some much needed quality time with her. Of course I love to take a snapshot here & there on Instagram or Facebook to keep family & friends in "the know"... but I have taken some much needed time away from the computer, for me personally, & it has been needed in 2013 to strengthen me & better make use of my time. I do however hope to be back to blogging more often in 2014, & hope that I can find a way to keep a journal of my life much easier & faster so that I have this book for the rest of my life to not only share with family & friends, but the world.
So, Happy New Year!
One of my biggest passions is decorating. I love our home being made up for the Holiday because as a Stay at Home Mom, I am always at home with my girl. I love making things pretty & decorating so that it's more exciting to be home as a family. It's my passion! So this Holiday I had a decorating business and decorated over 26 tree's & 6 homes. I wish I could share every single detail but here are a few I was able to capture. I have a book coming up for next year to share with all of my clients!

Happy Decemeber!
I transitioned from my Christmas into my New Years!!
I loved Avery's room this year!
I changed up my silver tree this year in the breakfast room to a "Santa tree"!
I loved my "Santa" mantel this year. Since Avery is starting to get Santa, it was super fun!
Added houndstooth tree this year to break it up for fun!
And fun throughout the house!
I left my outdoors really rustic and simple this year with fresh greenery...
We gave our Master a makeover this year and enjoyed decorating it for the Holiday's too!
Yes, I added pretties in my closet!
Our Elf Sofia was some fun this year! Avery's finally at the age where she gets the "elf fun" and it was exciting to add her into our family for the month of Decemeber!
We baked lots of cookies!
We enjoyed seeing the lights around town & ice skating!
And took a day to go to Silver Dollar City with the family!
A date night on the town of painting!
We had a baking day with my family too & Santa even came to visit at Nanny's house!
We had some major snow hit the week before Christmas & literally everything shut down for 6 days! So we played with friends outside & baked like crazy!
