Thanksgiving is almost here! Remember this cute little guy? I made this last year and it was so easy and such a hit! The perfect snack for kids (and adults!) while you’re waiting for the turkey to cook. Use any snacks you want! Thought I would share it again because I’ll definitely be making one again. I’m ready to resume my role as the table setter, kid entertainer and snack maker while the rest of my family tackles the serious cooking. We’re all in roles where we shine! I just don’t shine close to the oven. ;)

{CANDLES}

Black Friday sales are live and I’ve rounded up so many fun gift ideas for us all! The deals are so good right now.. it’s a very dangerous time to be on-line..ha. But I’m so excited to knock out a lot of my holiday shopping! Feels good to get it done from the comfort of my couch. In stretchy pants. I might need to order another pair. While they are on sale. :)

I took a little stroll through Anthro a few days ago (definitely a happy place!) and snapped pics of a few of my favorite gifts to give. Their candles are an obvious choice.. always a hit! They have so many fun options right now.. snow globes and cupcakes and hats.. just CUTE and they smell amazing and are all on sale.

{TREES}

They also have so many adorable trees! These glass trees are beautiful. It looks like they are sold out on-line but they aren’t.. just backordered a bit. Fun for an early holiday or hostess gift!

{MONOGRAM LETTERS}

These monogram letters are darling and light up! So cute for a kid/teen space.

Or spell a fun word on your mantel!

{HEADBANDS}

Hands down my favorite spot for headbands. They have so many cute styles!

{SLINGBAGS}

And of course my favorite sling bags. They now have so many different styles to choose from!

{liberty sling bag}

I use mine every week. It’s so handy when you don’t want to carry a purse!

I hinted to Kenny and my girls that I wouldn’t mind another one (black or brown) if they need a gift idea for me.

I’m helpful like that. :)

{sherpa crossbody}

Another cute option!

{fiona beaded bag}

How gorgeous are these for a holiday party!? Just beautiful. Speaking of holiday party..

{maya ruched cowl-neck dress}

I came home with this stunning dress for Kenny’s firm holiday party this year. It’s beautiful and so flattering! I usually don’t love bodycon dresses on me to be honest, but this is such a great fit and the high collar gives it such a glamours vibe. 10/10! I ordered one other color to try also. One thing Anthro does (that I love!) is they sell certain items in a variety of looks. This same style of dress comes so many different ways (you can see them all here). The cool thing about that is when you find something that fits you just right you have lots of options! For example.. I have so many different pairs of their Colette pants. They fit so well and are really flattering so it’s easy to order a new pair on-line. Even if the color or pattern or material or length is different, the fit is always the same. Well played Anthro. I’m a fan. :)

Below are more Black Friday gift ideas form Target and Amazon! I also found some cute coats and holiday dresses on sale. Also a lot of the fun gift ideas I shared in this post are also on sale. I hope these round-ups are helpful! I’ll share a few more things I’m seeing and loving after I do my shopping this weekend and I’ll be back soon with more Christmas decor.

Enjoy Thanksgiving everyone! XO

{faux cedar garland/similar faux cedar garland/leafy glam garland/team holiday spirit sweatshirt}

Happy Thanksgiving week to you all! Kids are out of school and we are ready to kick off the holidays! You too!? Bring on the stretchy pants. :)

I’m sharing my holiday mantel today! I’m calling it a holiday mantel instead of a Christmas mantel because it has a bit of a Thanksgiving vibe this year! See.. we DO celebrate Thanksgiving around here. ;) Also it was a team effort! I got to work on my garland (I layered and layered and layered some more).

Then Kenny hung my star ornaments for me. I have been wanting to hang something from the thin molding at the top this mantel for years! I told Kenny this was the year and he wouldn’t let me get on our tall ladder. I quickly reminded him that I live on tall ladders in October and November and then he quickly reminded me of how many minor injuries I’ve accumulated from various house projects and then we agreed that he should get on the tall ladder. :) This was a screenshot from a video I shared in IG stories. I asked him to explain what he was doing and he answered “laddering, measuring, penciling and hammering.” Thanks for the helpful tutorial babe. Some husbands just aren’t meant for Instagram tutorials.. mine would be one of them. Ha. But very sweet of him to help me with this.. he was definitely speaking my love language helping with holiday decor!

{lit wooden star ornament/natural wood garland/gold bead garland}

These are the stars I had him hang. They have little battery packs that include a timer and light up so beautiful! I have them on my Christmas tree this year too.

{large lit glass tree/small lit glass tree}

I also included these beautiful lit glass trees on my mantel this year.. they are all over my house and light up so beautiful! (They can also be set to turn on with a timer!)

{faux cedar garland/eucalyptus garland/arched mirror}

This his how it turned out! Christmas with a nod to Thanksgiving because of the colors and the fall leaves. I’ll probably swap the fall branches out for something more wintery in a few weeks, but it is JUST now starting to feel like fall in San Diego so this feels very appropriate for us!

{belgian linen throw pillow/oversized embroidered striped lumbar throw pillow}

I know you all know that I struggle decorating this mantel because of its large size. I had to layer a lot of my faux cedar garland to get it this thick! Basically I have none left for the rest of the house.. ha. ;) I also wove some of my tried and true eucalyptus garland in. I’ll never get tired of this combo of greenery! I decided not to add my leafy glam garland like I had planned because it looked so pretty with just the two garlands.

Layering my faux cedar garland until my fingers were green was worth it. I love the big full swoop. :)

Next to my fall branches I added the pretty lit glass trees, my favorite birch trees and a few of these favorite candles.

{similar stockings/bells/ribbon/jeweled snowflake ornament}

I also added stockings and ribbon and bells and a pretty snowflake ornament on the left and called it complete!

{woven vase/similar woven vase/faux fall branches}

{lit birch trees/battery operated candles/faux cedar garland/eucalyptus garland}

I snapped this with my phone at night and it’s not the best night photography! I really can’t capture how pretty it looks when all of the lights click on. I think I’ll add some twinkle lights to my mantel garland at some point too. Never enough lights! In my opinion anyway. :)

And a few phone pics at night with the lights turned on..

Feeling cozy around here! My mantel works well with my Christmas tree in this room and I’ll share that soon too! I have so much to share and wish December was a hundred days long! I’ll be back soon with more decor and my favorites for Black Friday. Happy Thanksgiving prep everyone! If you are traveling be safe and enjoy this week with loved ones! So grateful for each one of you.

And for helpful husbands and trees that turn on with a timer.

;)

Merry Christmas! Well.. not quite, but with my red and gold holiday porch decked and glowing things are feeling very merry around here. :)  You can see that our Christmas lights are up too (yes, we’re that family) but I’m patiently waiting a little longer to turn them on!

At least one more day. ;)

I couldn’t wait on my porch though.. I was just so excited to decorate it this year! Last year I went with an all green holiday porch and while I am team green forever, I just missed that Christmas pop of red! So I brought it back. Just a little. It doesn’t take much red to make things really feel like the holidays, does it!?

I started decorating this porch with my leafy glam garland over the door (I used 3 total.. one on each side and then one more in the middle to add some fullness). Once that was up I knew I wanted to bring in more gold! Then I pulled out one of my cute pine Christmas trees (I bought one last year and loved it so much I bought another this year). I was planning on using them both inside but after I saw one on my porch I knew they were both about to be re-located! They are nice and slim and perfect for each side of my front door. Then I went on a hunt for some slim flocked trees to add some snow! (I have to get my holiday snow fix somehow.) These 3 down swept flocked trees are so cute! They come in 3 sizes (4, 5 and 6 feet) and in a non-flocked version too that you can see here in the 4 ft, 5 ft, and 6 ft. They are perfect to place together or use them in different spots. I would love them inside too!

I wanted my porch to feel little asymmetrical this year for a fun change so I placed my gold lanterns and flameless candles on the left (finally took them off my fireplace mantel!) and then I put a couple of faux poinsettias in my fluted outdoor planters. (Similar poinsettias here.. I’ve had mine for years!)

I pulled in more gold with these beautiful antique brass tree collars and my long time favorite glitter gold star ornaments.

Snapped this pic with the lights on!

On the right I have this stunning winter garden mix. I have debated buying this for a couple of years and finally did this year and I’m so excited about it! I always want holiday flowers on my porch this time of year, but with the constant shade on my porch combined with how busy the holidays are I never want to waist my money on real plants that I know won’t make it! Now I can use this year after year and it will always look stunning and never need to be watered. WINNING. It comes with all of the greenery in this big styrofoam base so the trick was finding the right planter for it.

I landed on this concrete round bowl planter on Amazon (best price and look I could find!) and placed a box inside to set it on so that my flowers would be the right height.

I had to place in on an angle to get it inside, but it worked!

It’s so beautiful! I just couldn’t love it more.

I pulled out my long time favorite red plaid rug and this cute light up village wreath that I bought last year. It was the perfect finishing touch for the door! Especially with a few more stars to add in the mix.

I love this porch during the day but the best part is how it shines at night! Everything is set on a timer and lights up so beautifully. I need to take pics with my camera at some point but I snapped these quick tonight with my phone to show you. It’s just magical!

There is nothing like holiday lights! Just in time for the time change too! I never mind the nights getting dark earlier when I have my holiday lights up. BRING IT ON.

I hope you like my porch this year and I hope this gives you a few decorating ideas of your own! I’m so excited to welcome friends and family into our home this holiday season. Time spent with loved ones is the best gift of all and my favorite part of November/December.

Along with sparkly night lights.

And hot chocolate.

And cedar garland.

And more football.

And Christmas music/movies.

And cozy throws by the fire.

And ALL the decorating.

And all the eating.

But especially the decorating.

:)

I hope you’ve had a good week so far! I’m sharing a fun sale that just lasts through today (but it’s a good one!) and a little life photo dump. Ok.. sale first! Wayfair has a huge sale going on for one more day and there are so many great deals! Lots of my personal favorites like the fields of gold print above are marked down.

{red plaid rug /similar decorative bell/cedar garland/similar trees here & here}

Also my favorite red plaid rug that comes in so many sizes and this cedar garland that is over my door in this pic. Both are so good! Long time favorites and I’m using them both again this year. This porch is from 2 years ago. Last year I didn’t use my red plaid rug on my porch and I missed it! I pulled it back out today and am very excited to get working on my Christmas porch for this year. Enjoying the bats just a little bit longer. :)

{Christmas master bedroom sources}

My beloved flocked pine tree that I always put in my master bedroom is also on sale! Such a good price – it comes in 3 sizes and is so beautiful in person.

So are the large holiday ornaments I used to decorate it! They come in lots of colors and sell out every year. Below are more favorites on sale! I ordered this faux cedar wreath which I really don’t need with all the wreaths I’ve got going on at my house at the moment, but the price was too good to pass it up (and it looks beautiful!). Plus I have a fun idea for it.. stay tuned! My house is a hot mess right now. Christmas decorating is just messy isn’t it!? It will definitely feel good to have everything mostly decorated and the mess cleaned up! I say mostly because I’m usually decorating and “tweaking” things right up until Christmas Eve. Ha. I have a feeling some of you do the same. :)

Sharing a few pics on my phone I never got around to sharing last month! I mentioned a few posts back that I had been on a fun girls trip. Just a quick overnight at the hotel Del with a few friends. We loaded our bags and hit the road with our Diet Cokes! Always. :)

Stunning right!? We live so close and this trip was such a good reminder to get out and enjoy our surroundings more. Sometimes we think we have to travel far to get away but often a trip in your own city feels like a major break. If you’ve never been to Hotel Del Coronado add it to your bucket list the next time you are in San Diego! It’s a beautiful place to visit year round and the city itself is so much fun.

We were unloading our stuff and the guy at the hotel helping asked “where are you all from and how long are you staying?” Um.. 15 minutes away and one night. He kept pulling bags out and was looking at us like we were crazy. Ha ha. Mostly my fault I’m sure. I’m the worst over packer EVER! I like options when I travel. :)

We just enjoyed the pretty beach, went on a walk, did a little shopping and hung out! So relaxing and nice to take a break from our usual day to day.

We also ate. A lot. So many good restaurants in Coronado!

The homes are absolutely stunning too. That’s my favorite thing to do when I visit Coronado.. just drive or walk around and check out all of the beautiful homes! I took about 30 pics of charming houses.. couldn’t help myself.

So fun. I highly recommend mini trips like this with girlfriends! If you haven’t done something similar in a while it’s time! I’m so grateful for friends who just plan things like this and are persistent and make it happen. It’s never easy to get away but always worth it!

We came back on a Friday afternoon and Katy and I went straight to an Angels game our husband’s had planned. We were so tired from staying up late on our trip and felt like zombies but the boys were excited so we tried to regroup and keep the party going! Ha.

These two were living their best lives with the seats and little snack room we had.

So were these two! Our friends had these amazing seats and it definitely made the game exciting. We were chatting with the players while they were warming up!

It almost made me a baseball fan. ;)

Good times. I love recording the good stuff. Life is full of hard and difficult things too, but recording the good times and remembering them brings happiness, right!?

I’ve also heard that experts say people who decorate for Christmas early are happier people. (Seriously.. look it up!)

I mean.. just sayin.. ;)

So this is your invitation to go on a quick trip with friends, record the good stuff happening in your life and set up your Christmas tree!

You deserve it.

{theatre room tables/theatre room design details}

It’s a new week! Time for a little catch up! I’ve missed you all. :) We are enjoying all of the October/Halloween things and prepping for all of the Nov/Dec holiday things! Watching a lot of football in-between too. We have also been enjoying movie nights in the theatre room and last week it was Kole’s turn to pick the movie. Nightmare Before Christmas.. again. 4 out of 5 of us might have ended up on our laptops during this one but still a good time. :)

{faux marble table/couch}

It’s so nice to finally have tables for snacks and drinks in this room!

{found these candles in stock here & a similar set of 5 here!}

I made this “Halloween Popcorn” when my girls were little. Just tossed together some things we had in our pantry for them and it was such a hit with the kids that now we make it every October.

This is about as spooky as we get at my house.

{Christmas wreath with oranges}

We might be a little low key when it comes to Halloween, but Christmas is another story. BRING IT ON. NEVER TOO MUCH. Ha. ;) These are some Christmas wreaths I’m loving this year! How cute are the little oranges on this one!? After I took this pic I played around with the faux greenery and made it look more like the picture on-line and I love it even more!

{light up demi village wreath}

I bought this cute wreath last year and couldn’t wait to pull it out! The little house lights up and I love the stars. Plus the gold hoop! So good.

{faux needle pine & snowberry wreath}

This wreath is really beautiful in person. So full and unique. I love the bells and berries.

{pine Christmas wreath with ribbon}

Simple pine and cedar wreaths area always so classic and beautiful. I love the shape of this one!

{faux cedar & winterberry wreath}

Red berries and pinecones just call out Christmas don’t they!? Another style of wreath you can’t go wrong with.

1- cedar & pinecone wreath   2- pine berry wreath   3- norfolk pine wreath

4-frosty cedar wreath   5- cedar wreath   6- faux hinged wreath

The six wreaths above are all other favorites I’ve had my eye on (I have and love #5 and just forgot to photograph it!). A little more expensive, but they are all wreaths that will stand the test of time and be classic year after year!

{pre-lit aspen fir Christmas tree}

Sharing a couple new Christmas trees I’m decorating with this year too. This cute Amazon tree caught my eye on-line about a month ago and I love it even more in person. I snapped this quick after I set it up on my porch Saturday.

I’m thinking of using it in this corner of my bedroom but I’m not sure yet.. playing musical trees with a few at the moment! I love the shape! The branches are lighter green on the ends which gives it a cool look and the lights are so pretty! A great tree for the price.

{pre-lit faux pine Christmas tree}

This slim tree from Target is another favorite. I bought this tree last year for my formal dining room but Addison and I decided we are going to put that one in her bedroom this year so I ordered the same tree again for my dining room.

I didn’t have time to really fix the branches but snapped this quick with my phone just to give you an idea of how it looks. I’ll share better pics soon but I’m very happy with both if you are looking for a smaller tree this year!

{pre-lit brush trees on wood base/flocked bottle brush tree centerpiece}

Ok.. if you follow me on IG I shared this last week. I could not love this more! It’s absolutely stunning.. especially all lit up at night! I bought this assorted neutral version and then it immediately went out of stock. But now it’s back! It comes in a blue/green version too and I also found this cute flocked version from PB. Bottle brush trees are so much fun this time of year!

{eileen coffee table/brass metal nesting tray – 26″/bottle brush trees/similar wood trees}

I love using them all over my house. Below are more favorites! (This gorgeous brass metal nesting tray is on sale!)

{gold tray/similar antiqued metal round tray}

My recent Target order came in and I love so many things! Sharing the keepers here. (I always return a few things and only share the items I’m keeping and really love!) A pretty round gold tray is another holiday staple for me and if you can snag this when it’s in stock it’s such a pretty tray. I usually have a gold round tray on my kitchen island or coffee table to display a few trees or some pretty branches in a vase.

{sitting gold deer/standing gold deer}

These gold deer are so cute! Perfect to set on a stack of books or next to a pretty holiday arrangement or even on a Christmas tablescape next to some candles.

{large luxe glass hurricane holder/premium flameless wax candle/medium luxe glass hurricane holder}

Speaking of candles.. aren’t these candle holders gorgeous!? I love the ribbed glass and the gold tone rim. Absolutely stunning for any table this holiday season! 10/10 for the price. They look more expensive than they actually are and as soon as they came in I immediately ordered another large candle holder. I’ll show you how I’m using them soon!

{faux fur plush reverse throw blanket/oversized bobble knit throw pillow/oversized lumbar woven tree pillow}

I’m trying to not go crazy with Target Christmas pillows this year (I definitely have enough around here already!) but couldn’t resist these two and I love them even more in person. I set them on my counter just so you could see how large they both are! I love the texture on the bobble knit pillow (I ordered this knit bobble matching throw too) and the long lumbar tree pillow is perfection.

This faux fur plush reverse throw blanket is so soft! I love the look and feel of the lining. It reminds me of a lot of my PB throws, but such a better price and it would make a beautiful gift too! I have a feeling this one will sell out quickly.

{green & cream Christmas wrap/plaid Christmas wrap/holiday stripe towel set/waffled dish cloths/tall rustic tree/rustic tree}

Fun dish towels and wrapping paper! Holiday staples. These rustic trees are so cute too!

{faux spruce Christmas trees in ceramic pots}

Speaking of trees. I shared these when they came out and would definitely recommend them if you can snag them before they are gone! The branches are so realistic and I love the ceramic pots.

{medium Christmas tree in basket/small Christmas tree in basket/large Christmas tree in basket}

This is another beautiful faux tree that sold out once but it looks like is back in stock for the moment! These come in 3 sizes and this is the medium and small. They are a different look than the trees above but also beautiful and so realistic! I love the little baskets they come in too.

{faux cedar Christmas stem/draping pine stem}

Two stems to also check out before they sell out. I can’t believe the draping pine stems are just $5 each! I bought the cedar stems last year and love them.

{santorini urn vase/faux cedar Christmas stem/draping pine stem/sitting gold deer/standing gold deer/large luxe glass hurricane holder/

premium flameless wax candle/tondo rectangle serving board}

I added them in this large vase together just to see how they look! This arrangement is too big for my island so I’ll probably move it somewhere else, but here is just one idea of how you can use a few of these pretty items. Christmas decor is TOO much fun isn’t it!?

1- cedar stem   2- lit faux juniper stem   3-lit draping branch

4-fir branch   5-faux pine branches   6- green cedar branch

A few more options for pretty holiday stems! There are so many fun ways to use faux stems like these. On shelves, in bowls and baskets, in a vase, on a mantel.. the possibilities are endless.

{extra long woven basket tray/real touch norfolk pine branch/rizzo textured ball ornaments/textured metallic glass ball ornaments}

They are definitely a holiday staple and favorite at my house!

I hope these recent favorites gave you a few fun ideas for the holidays this year! Sorry this post was so long. Never enough time to chat all things Christmas decor! You know if it were up to me we would have Christmas decor up in our homes for half of the year.

At least.

{cotton fringe table runner/metal taper candleholder/battery operated candles/faux fall branches/faux pumpkins/white faux pumpkins}

Happy Sunday! I hope you are enjoying your weekend so far! I’m sharing some easy holiday styling below, but first I have some fun news for those of you who wanted this long metal candleholder and couldn’t get it because it sold out so quickly. Target just came out with another similar version! It’s almost identical other than it looks like the tops of the candle holders are slightly different. I know this version will sell out quickly too so I wanted to share the news for anyone who missed the first option I bought. Talk about easy styling for the holidays! I have loved this.

You can find the new 12ct Oversized Antique Brass Candelabra HERE.{extra long woven basket tray}

Another Target find I love? My woven basket tray. :) (It’s on sale at the moment!)

You might remember it from last spring when I used it to create a cozy Easter scene with eggs and my wooden bunnies.

I thought it would be fun to style it for fall too! So simple. I just used faux fall stems and my ceramic pumpkins.

{extra long woven basket tray/plum cimicifuga ramosa leaves (similar option)/ceramic pumpkins}

I’m loving this maroon/white combo but obviously this would work with any branches and pumpkins. So simple.. took me 5 minutes! I just used 4 stems of the plum cimicifuga ramosa leaves. This is another similar option in that beautiful burgundy color!

Then I thought hmmm.. how will I style my fun tray for Christmas?

Like this! Clearly I was having a good day. :)

{extra long woven basket tray/real touch norfolk pine branch/rizzo textured ball ornaments/textured metallic glass ball ornaments}

I snapped this pic with my phone to show you a better look from above. I just used these beautiful pine branches and then placed ornaments on top in the greenery.

Another 5 minute decorating special! My favorite kind. These branches are absolutely beautiful and look so realistic. I used 4 stems in this tray and my textured metallic ornaments. (I linked some other fun ornament options at the end of my post!)

I might switch this back to my pumpkins soon. Or I might not. Not gonna lie.. the Christmas version of my cute tray is sparking a tad more joy for me at the moment. Ha. The first sign in my house of what’s to come! CAN’T WAIT.

But I will. Happy October and yea for Halloween. ;)
