Merry Christmas Eve! I can’t believe we are here. I hope you are enjoying the day with loved ones! We got our annual Santa pic taken Monday (snapped this waiting in line) so our Christmas Eve is clear for all of the traditions we’ve set up with our kids through the years. And drum roll please.. I’m done wrapping! This is the first year I won’t have to spend hours on Christmas Eve putting everything together. Very proud of myself.. it’s a Christmas miracle! Ha.

Santa was GOLD with my kids this year. He took charge and made them turn in their cell phones and talked to them for quite a while and was so funny! He also made me hop in for one pic at the end! He said he has had more teens and adults than ever before getting pictures with him. See kids! You aren’t the only ones. ;) Funny thing is my kids complain about having to do our annual pic with Santa but then I heard them talking about how they’ll be doing this forever with their spouses and kids.

They secretly love it. For the most part. ;)

I’m just happy we have one more pic to add to my wall! 2024 baby! Each year with my 3 kids is such a gift.

{Simmer Pot / Sources}

I came home from the mall and put together a simmer pot! I knew we would be mostly home for the rest of the day and this makes the house smell so good! My mom always made simmer pots during the holidays when we were growing up. That smell of cinnamon takes me back every year! I usually just use one of my pots that I cook with but I ordered this new clear simmer pot a few weeks ago and was excited to try it. I’m sure most of you have made a simmer pot before, but if you haven’t they are so easy! You can really add anything and play around with different combinations/smells. I always use oranges (sometimes lemons), cinnamon sticks, cranberries and star anise.

I usually order the star anise on Amazon. Sometimes I use whole cloves and sometimes I just use ground gloves if that’s all I have. Sometimes I add nutmeg and vanilla too. You can’t mess this up which is why I love simmer pots so much!

Add water and whatever you want to include and bring it to a boil and then just let it simmer for a couple of hours. Easy and done and smells so good!

It looks pretty in this clear pot too. I’ll have this and my Christmas candles on repeat over the break whenever we are home!

A few pics of life lately! We had our annual stocking exchange and ate outside this year.. it was such a beautiful table and a beautiful day! A fun tradition a couple of friends of mine started and organized last year. (Did I share this last year? If not I’ll have to explain it at some point!) 

Diet Coke with lime, good food and good friends. A combination I’m always here for. :)

{Puff Sleeve Velvet Blouse / Collette Cropped Wide Leg Pants / Similar Heels}

This puff sleeve velvet blouse has been so fun to wear for holiday events! It fits so cute and I love it with high waisted pants.

My beaded pearl bow purse was also a must have for me this holiday season as you know! It seemed to work with everything. (So grateful for good friends!)

Kenny and I have been each other’s ride or die this year with the kids gone more. We miss the full house but it has been so fun spending more quality time together! Feels like we are taking a step back to the early pre-kid days. :) We’ve also been able to spend more time with couple friends which is always a good thing! (This view is off of the restaurant C-level.. a fun spot if you are visiting San Diego. You feel like you are sitting right on the ocean when you eat with this view watching ships go by!)

We went to the San Diego Symphony for the first time with friends this month and it was absolutely incredible. All Christmas music and I teared up during several songs!

A fun new December tradition to add to the list! December needs to be 3 months long. If I was in charge of things that is the first rule I would make.

Spring Home Target Favorites

My lemon art came in the mail today! A reminder that spring will be here before we know it. I’m in no rush to get through the holidays! I know I’ll be sad when my girls leave again and it’s time to take down the Christmas trees. Having a few cute new things to decorate with for spring helps things feel not quite as depressing. Plus lemons! Lemon are so happy. I’m a fan as you know. :) (I shared more spring favorites below and some fun things for travel if you are vacationing over the break!)  Knowing that it’s time to organize will also help to cheer us all up! I have a lot of spaces that are full of too much stuff. Looking forward to giving my home a deep clean out and organizing all the things.

And taking you all along for the ride again of course. :)

Merry Christmas! I can’t begin to express how grateful I am for this community. Your kind words and support here on my blog and on IG bring a smile to my face every single day. 2024 was a harder year for me (not trying to be dramatic.. ha.. we are doing great and have so much to be thankful for!). But it was definitely an adjustment year for me with the girls leaving and there were tears and sad moments a lot of days. You all give me a safe and happy place to land each day and help keep things Sunny Side Up more than you know. Thank you!! A million times thank you. I wish I could give each of you a huge hug in person. I truly hope you have the best holiday season and a happy kick off to 2025! I’ll see you in January! We have lots of fun things to do in the new year so rest while you can. ;)

LOVE YOU ALL!  – Erin

Happy Sunday! This week’s Sunday Edit is a good one! Your favorites from the week, last minute gift ideas, holiday storage and my favorites from the new McGee Target Spring collection! I’ll be back Monday with a few more fun things going on around here.. enjoy the rest of your weekend! :)

Lemon Wall Art Green Accent Rug Wreath with Bow Floral Pillow

Christmas Gift Wrap

Happy Saturday! Just a few days until Christmas Eve! I hope you’re feeling calm and mostly ready vs. exhausted and scrambling. I’ve had both kinds of Decembers and newsflash.. the first is better. ;) I’m feeling better than some years just because I actually started my wrapping early! (Love this cute paper!) I just ordered a few last minute gifts from Amazon for the kids and I still have more to wrap, but I’m hoping to knock it out this weekend so that I’m not up all night on Christmas Eve.

If you still need a few gifts that ship fast check the links below for some ideas!

Planners

A planner makes a lovely gift! Especially for planner nerds like me. :) I’m ready for 2025 with my cute little to-do notebook I’m loving and this simple desk calendar. I’m so visual that even though we keep all of the day to day stuff on our phone calendar I like to see big picture things like trips and events laid out in front of me on paper.

Before we talk more about 2025 (and all things planning and organizing!) I’m sharing a few more pics of my Christmas decor this year! I’ve added spaces I’ve already shared also so that everything is here in this one big 2024 Christmas home tour post. Apologies in advance for so many pictures! This would be a good time to grab some popcorn. :)

Come on in! Happy to have you over. :)

I added garland to our hallway mirror this year too and love how it turned out! I just used small command hooks to hold it at the top. Next year I’ll try to do a better job showing how I attach everything. I was scrambling to get my decor up fast because I had my holiday party so early before Thanksgiving this year and ran out of time!

Love this view of the mirror and garland down the hall from my office door. :)

A few more pics with lights on..

The slim trees I put in pots are my favorite new addition this year! Perfect for tight corners.

Our past Christmas cards are hanging on this side of the door and I’m going to hang friend and family cards on the other side in the mudroom. I’ll share that soon. I need to snap pics of the mudroom still and I didn’t add the bathroom and bedrooms! Never enough time. :) I hope you enjoyed the Christmas home tour this year! Have the best weekend! I know there are always so many last minute to-do’s. This season flies by so quickly.. I hope you are finding moments to just enjoy and soak it all in too!

I can’t wait to watch Rudolph this weekend. :)

{Faux Cedar Garland, Similar Cedar Garland, Norfolk Pine Garland, Jeweled Snowflake Ornaments, Waffle Dish Towel, Lit Birch Trees, Realistic Faux Snow, 7 1/2″ Gold House, 8″ Gold House, Brass Candle Holders, Flameless Taper Candles}

Happy Saturday! Can you believe we are 10 days away from Christmas Eve!? Is it just me or is December flying by way too quickly? I really need this month to be 3 months long. At least! It just feels like too much to cram into such a short time period! Here’s to making the most of the next 10 days!

I’m sharing a fun round-up today and kicking things off with my beloved kitchen window at night!

I kept it pretty simple this year with just my birch trees, the cutest little mercury houses and candles. Always a favorite spot during the holidays and the only time of year I don’t dread washing the pots and pans. :)

{Faux Cedar Garland, Norfolk Pine Garland, Jeweled Snowflake Ornaments, Waffle Dish Towel, Lit Birch Trees, Realistic Faux Snow, 7 1/2″ Gold House, 8″ Gold House, Brass Candle Holders, Flameless Taper Candles}

My cedar garland sold out but the norfolk garland is over 60% off and just $20 a strand! Smart time to pick some up for next year. Candles and snowflakes are also on sale!

2 – GIFT IDEAS

{Green Socks, Clean Skin Towels, Faux Fur Blanket}

A few fun gifts I’ve shared before that are favorites around here.. coziest sock slippers!

{Green Socks, Clean Skin Towels, Faux Fur Blanket, Lip Balm, Flameless Lighter, Olaplex No. 7, Sleep Mask, Lip Oil Duo}

Olaplex bonding oil is a staple for me and my girls and makes a perfect stocking stuffer!

Faux Fur Blanket

I picked up another blanket for a gift. It’s our family favorite at the moment!

Here is a better shot of it.. the coziest!

I was wrapped up in the white one while we were watching Die Hard the other night. Is it or is it not a Christmas movie? Kenny says no and I say yes.. ha.

{Color Wow, Eyeshadow Palette, Lip Balm, Flameless Lighter, Olaplex No. 7, Sleep Mask, Lip Oil Duo}

Mac eyeshadow palettes always make a fun gift for girls!

Teen Gift Ideas

These are a few more of the cute Target pillows I mentioned last week. I got Kole the taco.. his favorite food! So cute for tween/teen gifts.

Tree Night Light

Kole has been loving his tree night light in the upstairs hallway. He is at that age that he acts like he isn’t into things like this but he still totally is. Ha.

Tape Dispenser

I ordered this to help with gift wrapping this year. Excited to try it! It looks like certain colors will get here before Christmas if you want to try it this year too. I’ll let you know if I love it!

Layla Sneaker

New sneakers for my crew this year and this is the pair Addison and I will be seeing under the tree! LOVE them.

3 – AMAZON TEEN GIFTS/MONEY TREE

Artificial Tree

Ok.. if time is short and you still need teen gifts I updated my teen gift idea Amazon folder with so many fun ideas! Lots of things we have and love along with items I just ordered for this year. :)

You can also go with a gift card/money tree.. always a hit with teens! This tree above is a cute size. I think the flocked version is still in stock. I added a couple of good money tree options in my teen gift folder too! You can check it out here: AMAZON TEEN GIFT IDEAS

Red Clothespins

My cute nieces and nephews with trees from Aunt Erin a while back. I added gift cards and money this time around because I’m tricky like that. :) Love this crew.

4 – TARGET WRAP/SPRING FAVS

I just picked up the cutest gift wrap at Target! This collection from Sugar Paper is adorable. You can see everything I bought in a collection I put together here – Christmas Gift Wrap. I especially love the Night Before Christmas and Fa La La wrapping paper. Too cute! I’m determined to start my gift wrapping early this year so that I’m not up all night on Christmas Eve! I’ll keep you posted on progress. :) 

This flat rattan tray will be perfect for organizing in January (thinking bathroom drawers!) and I love the brass book holder. I use book holders to hold family pictures and art too!  The accent rug is beautiful and will be perfect for my porch when Christmas does finally come down.

This Glaze Ceramic Bowl with handles is so beautiful in person! (Doesn’t look as good on-line but trust me on this one!) I love the texture and size. I might toss some greenery and Christmas ornaments in it just so I can use it now! Perfect for a coffee table.

5 – OFFICE PARTY

We had a party or event every night but Thursday this last week so I’m feeling a little socially drained.. and I’m more of an extrovert.. ha. Hats off to all of the introverts out there during December. I hope you’re hanging in there! ;) My pearl bow purse has been with me every night and was a perfect accessory for Kenny’s office party.

The party was at Petco Park this year and I’m so bummed I didn’t take more pics! It was a really cool venue with a beautiful view. So much fun to catch up with everyone.

Kenny gave his annual speech/toast to all the partners and associates. I haven’t shared a lot about his childhood/background/story.. (maybe someday!) but he has worked incredibly hard to get to where he’s at in his life/career and I’m so proud of him. I always have a proud wife moment when I see him doing his thing at work. Especially knowing how much he cares about his firm and loves his clients and the people he works with.

I was 15 when I met him and we started hanging out (17 in this pic I think?) so I’ve had a front row seat to it all. I still feel like we are this age and deep down about this mature just pretending to be adults. Ha. Us then..

and now. :)

6 – FAVORITE THINGS PARTY

Another fun Favorite Things Party this week and my friend Megan’s house was decked so cute I have to share! How creative is the tree skirt on her porch!?

Everything was red and pink and this was such a gorgeous spread!

Fun wreaths with bows on her cabinet doors!

I also loved this idea for shelves. Pink and red paper in frames really pop and kept the color scheme going throughout her home!

A fun way to display holiday cards!

Her home was beautiful and it was such a fun night! We talked and laughed for hours. Below are the gifts everyone brought. All SO GOOD! I got lots of ideas for my girls and a few things I’m excited to try! Happy shopping and wrapping and partying and enjoying all the December festivities this weekend! And if you’re cozy next to the fire with a good Christmas movie on enjoy that too! My girls come home next week and then that’s exactly what I’m planning to do for the rest of the month! The best. :) I’ll be back soon with some decor I haven’t shared yet. Did I mention December is never long enough?

Maybe next year I’ll start decorating in August.

Kidding! Kind of. ;)

FAVORITE THINGS PARTY GIFT IDEAS:

Happy Sunday! Sharing a fun round-up today and I’m kicking things off with your favorites from the week! If you’re looking for last minute holiday party outfits or something fun to wear for New Year’s Eve I put together some cute options. I’m also sharing recent Amazon orders and deals along with my recent Mcgee & Co order. Yea for a new striped runner coming for my kitchen! So many fun things on sale.. those items are a lot of my Christmas. :) Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Bow Purse

Bow Heels

1 – TWEEN/TEEN GIFT IDEAS

Happy Saturday! How are we doing? December is in full swing and I hope you’re enjoying it even though it’s always such a busy time of year! This week got away from me and I’m definitely feeling a little overwhelmed. I’m going to use today to catch up on house work and random to-do’s so that I can go into next week feeling a little more on top of things. Fingers crossed right? If nothing else I’m at least going to catch up on our laundry!

I’m excited to share some really fun gift ideas with you today! I went to a friend’s Favorite Things party this week and the gifts were so good! More on that at the end of this post. :) First I’m sharing another fun gift basket for a teen! I took this cute bin and used my hot glue gun to glue a red bow on it. The bow is actually a hair clip! I used such a tiny amount of glue on the clip in the back that it will be easy to pull off and use the bow. A cute and easy way to make a bin look a little more festive for gifting!

*{Target Partner/Ad/Affiliate links used}

Teen Gift Ideas

I decided to go with a red theme for this gift basket. Target has the cutest pillows out right now for kids/tweens/teens! Food pillows like a taco, avocado, hot dog and donut (my favorites are all linked here!). I fell hard for the lip pillow and matching notebook and candle so I started with those and then found other red items that I know girls would love. (The cute slipper socks also come in a green and I couldn’t resist picking me up a pair too! They are the coziest.)

Teen Gift Ideas

I put everything in this cute coiled rope basket and love how it turned out! Isn’t the bow cute!? I love giving gifts in bins and baskets that can be used for organizing. Double the gift! You could use this cute bin and bow to hold all sorts of fun Christmas gifts. A wrapping idea for you that isn’t wrapping. I’m clearly a fan. Ha.

2 – TEEN CHRISTMAS BEDROOM

Teen Christmas Bedroom Sources

Speaking of teens.. I had some fun Christmas decor ideas for Addison’s bedroom this year but ran out of time! I’m saving them for next year and ended up decorating her room pretty similar to how I decorated it last year. She loved it so much! I didn’t take new pictures because it’s so similar but I went through my blog post from last year for this space and updated all of the links so you can check out this post if you want to know where things are from. She loves traditional red for Christmas!

Clip On Candles

Remember these fun clip on candles I bought last year? I was so excited to use them again and put them on our living room tree too. (Still need to share that! Next week!)

My kids love them in their bedrooms because they have a remote and you can set them to change colors. They turn red, green, purple, blue..so much fun. I always keep my candles on the warm white setting for my main trees but my kids love the colors. :)

Teen Christmas Bedroom Sources

Target brought back this cute village stocking holder from last year. It lights up so cute! Ellie just wanted a tree in her bedroom (she doesn’t like any extra clutter!) so I kept her room really simple. My girls are so different and I love that about them. They both take after me in different ways. Ellie’s room will stay nice and tidy while Ad is a mess (ha) but Addison wants ALL the decor and loves to do the same activities I do. I’m so excited to get them both back home again! :)

3 – TRIVET TREE

Tree Shaped Trivet Set

Ok.. this tree shaped trivet set is too much fun! Cute decor on its own..

Tree Shaped Trivet Set

and also so handy! Set it on your coffee table to use the trivets as coasters.

Tree Shaped Trivet Set

Or set it in your kitchen for pots and pans or hot plates! It comes in a darker color too. I’ve been using it and loving it the past couple of weeks. I also picked up an extra for a hostess gift this year!

4 – TREE BOARDS

 Large Wood Tree Board / Nesting Tree Trays / Tree Set Board & Spreader / Solid Wood Tree Board / Tree Board & Knife Set / Acacia Wood Board

Speaking of hostess gifts.. my go-to has been a tree board with a dish towel and I’m laughing at the collection I have going on at the moment! Several of these will be gone after parties next week but clearly I have a favorite gift to give this time of year! I’m only slightly predictable. ;)

Geometry Tree Kitchen Towel

This is the cute dish towel I’ve been giving with a tree board. I might have shared this already? I have December brain at the moment so if I did.. I’m sorry. However I’m guessing that you have December brain at the moment too which means you also can’t remember what I’ve already shared (or what you went into the kitchen to get when you walked that way) so I’m guessing we’re good. Ha.

5 – FAVORITE THINGS PARTY

Tobie Pleated Dress Shirt / Similar Over the Knee Boots / Beaded Pearl Bow Purse

Kenny snapped this pic last night on my way to a friend’s Favorite Things party. I bought this dress for the Reward Style Conference in September and I have loved it so much! I wear it every chance I get because aside from my stripe obsession, it’s so comfortable and a perfect combo of dressy and casual. I recently bought this beaded pearl bow purse and couldn’t love it more! I wore some pearl bow earrings and the purse was a perfect accessory.

Clean Skin Towels / Wash and Prep Headband / Unbrush Detangler / Unbrush Detangling Set

This is what I took for my favorite thing this year! The skin towels (that I’ve shared so many times!) were my favorite discovery this year. The unbrush is a great detangler I’ve been using (I bought my girls one for Christmas!) and the wash and prep headband I took to go with the skin towels. :)

My friend’s cute house! It was such a fun party.. I loved catching up with everyone.

The gifts were crazy good this year! I linked them all at the end of this post and got so many fun ideas.

Beaded Pearl Bow Purse

But guess what gift so many people wanted? My purse! Ha ha.. I wished I would have taken 3 of them for my favorite thing! Everyone kept saying how cute it was and asking if I attached the bow myself (nope!) and where did I get it and was it expensive (nope!). When I told them all the price several of my friends got on their phones and ordered one immediately. Some friends ordered one for them and more for daughters. It was a hit! It’s see through (there isn’t a liner) and it’s actually a little heavy! The handle under the bow is larger pearls and so cute. It’s not huge but fit my make-up pouch and keys and phone. Not really an every day purse but a perfect date/party night purse!

Tobie Pleated Dress Shirt / Similar Over the Knee Boots / Beaded Pearl Bow Purse

I love her red front doors! And fun nights with good friends. And boots that make me actually look tall for a change. ;)

6 – PARTY GIFT IDEAS

Like I said.. the gifts were so good! I’m ordering several things for gifts and few things I want to try. I linked everything friends brought below!

Bow Taper Candles

Bow Drop Earrings  (Sugarfix by Baublebar Earring Collection – cutest Christmas earrings!)

Yeti 10 oz Tumbler

Happy Cyber Monday! Ok.. I did a little on-line shopping and A LOT of on-line scouring and I’ve rounded up so many fun things on sale if you are looking for holiday gift ideas! I’m so excited about the items I ordered! I’m determined to knock out my shopping early this year so that I can wrap everything early! The last few years I have been up way too late on Christmas Eve wrapping and then I’m so tired Christmas Day. Which is fine because I can just fall asleep during our annual Christmas day viewing of It’s a Wonderful Life BUT I love It’s a Wonderful Life and don’t want to sleep through it this year! Anyway.. all this to say.. I’m shopping/wrapping early and sharing what I’m loving and ordering!

*{Target Partner/Ad/Affiliate links used}

Target Gift Sets

First up.. Target Beauty Gift Sets! I love them and they are so good this year! I always buy my girls a few for Christmas and then pick up extras for their friends or for my friends. They are on sale today!

Target Gift Sets

I put together a fun gift basket that would make an amazing gift for any tween/teen girl! Or young adult since Ellie is 20 and I know she would love this too! I love this bin with gold handles (perfect for storage in a bedroom or dorm). I filled it with a few of the fun gift sets and then added a Stanley, charm phone strap, makeup case, detangle  brush and this makeup headband. Just some fun ideas!

Holiday Sweaters

These holiday sweaters are also so much fun! I bought the red bow sweater and it was so comfy and cute and warm that I picked up another one for me and a couple for each of my girls for Christmas.

Clean Skin Towels/Cyber Monday Amazon Picks

One of my favorite new finds this year are these Clean Skin Towels. I love using them at night when I wash my face! I dry my face with them after I use my cleanser and they pick up anything I missed and make my skin feel so smooth! Then I use the back side of the same towel to wipe off my bathroom counter. I can’t imagine my night time routine without them! I ordered a pack of 3 so I can give each of my girls a box too.

Lange Blow Drying Brush/Cyber Monday Amazon Picks

I recently ordered this blow drying brush (Christmas gift to me and my girls) and it’s on sale today! I thought we could try it and order another one or two if we each need one! My hair is usually too thick for blow drying brushes but my girls love them and this one looks a little more heavy duty than options we’ve tried in the past. I’ll keep you posted!

complete eye cream / tinted eye cream / vitamin C brightening serum / sheer renewal cream / extreme recovery cream /quench and shine restorative hair mask

Colleen Rothschild is my go-to for skin care and after trying pretty much ALL of her products these are my absolute favorites that I use every day (all 30% off today!). The top two for me are the eye creams. I use this complete eye cream at night and then put on the tinted eye cream in the morning before my make-up. I can’t believe the different these two products make! I’ve run out of both before and always notice a difference when I’m not using them. They are game changers for eye darkness, lines and puffiness. I also love her vitamin C brightening serum and I put on the sheer renewal cream every morning. The extreme recovery cream is such a good moisturizer too! I especially love it in the winter when my skin is even more dry than normal. Also I forgot to take a picture but you know her quench and shine restorative hair mask is another staple for me! All great gift ideas!

{Krissan Vase, Norfolk Pine Branches, Tondo Serving Board, Large Glass Tree, Gold Trees, 7 1/2″ Gold House}

So many favorites in my home are on sale including every item on my kitchen island. This beloved vase is 50% off! The pine branches are also such a good deal for the day.

Bauble Ornaments / Christmas Family Room & Kitchen / Amazon Christmas Favorites

While we’re talking Christmas decor the ornaments on my tree are on sale! I ordered one more box for next year. They are so beautiful in person! A lot of my favorite Christmas decor is on sale so I added the link to my family room/kitchen post and my favorites on Amazon!

All of my Amazon Cyber Monday Round-ups are in this folder! I ordered heated blankets for the girls for winter and some hair/make-up products. I included Kenny’s favorite heater for his office and he is obsessed with the Oura ring! Also Kole’s Rosetta Star Projector.. he tells me it’s the best gift I’ve ever given him. All fun gift ideas in that folder!

Round-ups from a few other favorite stores are below! I ordered a lot of these items for my family (and a couple things for me.. guilty) and I hope they give you some good ideas! Such a good feeling getting shopping done early while things are on sale. Happy Cyber Monday!

Candle Lanterns

Happy Saturday! My stairs have a new addition that I’m so excited about!

Candle Lanterns / Christmas Wall Art Prints / 11 x 14 Wood Picture Frames / 8 x 10 Wood Picture Frames /Picture Hanging Strips

Aren’t these lanterns dreamy!? No glass and they are lightweight. I love how simple and elegant they are.

 Candle Lanterns / Christmas Wall Prints / Pre-Lit Tree, (Similar Tree HERE & HERE) / Planter Pot

I bought one set of 3 to try on the first few steps and loved them so much I ordered enough for the whole bottom half of the stairs. They are 3 different sizes so I put the small lanterns on the bottom steps, medium in the middle and then the largest lanterns at the top. The lanterns come with the candles and the candles flicker and look so realistic! They are just BEAUTIFUL.

They have a timer feature so I have them set to click on around 5:00 every evening and then they turn off 6 hours later. I’m in love with them!

Candle Lanterns / Christmas Wall Prints / Similar Cedar Garland / Velvet Ribbon

I’ve never had anything lighting my stair case like this and just can’t get over how gorgeous it looks. This whole section of my house glows and makes me so happy at night. Very excited about this new holiday addition! (These lanterns would also look beautiful on a porch or mantel or anywhere in your home!)

I’m sharing some fun Black Friday Deals below! I was going to share what I ordered but I didn’t have as much time to shop the sales today (just added a few things to my on-line cart!) so I’ll share what I ordered soon. LOTS of my personal favorites are on sale and you can check them all out in the categories below. Happy sale shopping and enjoy the rest of your weekend! :)
