It’s two weeks until Christmas and I finally have our tree all decorated haha. I love our cottage Christmas decor along with the ribbons and all the twinkle lights. Each ornament has a story and that’s what makes decorating the tree special this time of year. ❤️🎄

It’s the Second Sunday of Advent - we light both the candle of Hope and Peace today. The weary world rejoices as we know Jesus is coming. We have hope in knowing that HE came to this earth to bring us Peace. 🌟
.
I’m hosting a 4-week Advent Bible study over on my blog as we celebrate the arrival of Jesus. If you’d like to join in, comment “Christ” and I’ll send you week 1 and 2. I’d love to celebrate together! ❤️

We’ve lived in our new home now for 4 years and it took us that long to do something on this wall 🤦🏼‍♀️. Our ceilings are really high in here so we needed a tall piece. What do you think?
.
I’ve been waiting on this beautiful built in library cabinet that just arrived. I wasn’t sure if I would have room to put the tree here in our normal place or not haha (priorities, right?). My amazing carpenter (who’s also like a son to me) nailed it again.
.
Stay tuned as I get these shelves decorated with books and Christmas decor. I can’t wait to show you around. 📚🎄
.
P.S. I’ve had some family ask me if we are “skipping Christmas” this year 🤣. Absolutely not! The entire home is decorated and stay tuned for the tree too. 🎄

It’s the first day of Advent Season. If you have no clue what it is, hang tight. I invite you to spend the next 4 weeks with me online. We are going to prepare for the birth of our Savior. Today we light the candle of HOPE. Our hope is in the one that is coming. Each Sunday, I’ll email you a post with details on scripture, hymns, prayer and why we celebrate Christmas. ❤️
.
BONUS: I created a Spotify playlist of hymns and carols for you to enjoy all Christmas season long. It’s so good! Enjoy! 🎄
.
Comment “advent” and I’ll send you a link to our first Sunday - the candle of Hope. Everything is all free. No strings attached. I just want us to slow down and not get too distracted with all the shopping and events.

Start a collection of things that bring joy and ha

Start a collection of things that bring joy and happiness to you. Forget trends, do something nostalgic. I have a collection of ceramic houses (one that was my grandma’s) that I usually set up around the tree but I started collecting this paper barn, house and church several years ago. I added these cute little barns and houses this year and they all sit right on this old bench. I also can’t forget my old rugged cross. Just add some bottle brush trees as fillers. I might add some fresh greenery, what do you think?

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with whoever

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with whoever you shared the day with. Holidays can be sad when loved ones have gone before us. We all lose people in our life. I make it a point to create the memory/tradition and not worry about if something doesn’t go right on a holiday.

We had a houseful today with both friends and family - great food, desserts and hanging out with those that we love. Our bellies and hearts are full. I have to brag on my daughter a bit. She has been smoking our turkey 🦃 the last several years and boy, it is the best I have ever had. Here’s a little glimpse of our day. All the kids tossed my porch pumpkins to the cows. A tradition I started on Thanksgiving when we moved here. It was also extra special getting to spend it with my nieces and nephew. We also had a young man that is from Texas but now lives here in Florida. Very polite. I hope he felt the love of a family today. 🧡

“Let the peace of Christ, to which you were indeed called in one body, rule in your hearts; and be thankful”. ~ Colossians 3:15

Let’s make a last-minute Thanksgiving garland. This was so much fun to make and you probably already have all the supplies that you’ll need.

I used air-dry clay, some cookie cutters, paint, and napkins, and a few other things. Since most kids are out of school next week, this will give them a fun project to work on for our big meal on Thursday! 🦃

Comment “thankful” and I’ll send you the instructions on how to make one for your family! You could also give it away to one of your guests if you’re hosting Thanksgiving this year! 🧡
