It's The Most Wonderful Time of The Year

-

 Hi friends,

The calendar page has turned from November to December and that means the Christmas season is upon us! 

This year we will be celebrating in our new state and home in Northern Kentucky which is very exciting for us.  While we probably won't have a white Christmas like we usually had in Wisconsin, we are more than blessed to be living close to our daughter, sil and five month old grandson. What a Christmas it will be!

I've got lots of Christmas decor to share and today I am kicking it off with a plea to Santa Claus!


Happy Holidays Y'All!

      Hi Janice! Yes, about 18" total most years - small potatoes compared to WI. We brought our snow shovel, but left our snowblower behind.

    I don't know---Illinois is between the N.Pole and Kentucky---you might have to wait just a bit. This made me smile...scraping Christmas together, realizing, I haven't done a full on decor since 2018 with the knee and then covid! Hugs, see you again soon! Sandi

    Jane, I have been wondering about you and the tornado in Kentucky. Was it close to you? What devastation..xxoJudy

      Fortunately for us, we are about four hours from Mayfield. I was worried, especially since the house next door burned to the ground in a storm last summer - they just started rebuilding a few weeks ago. Forecasters had been predicting our area would see the bad weather, but the system shifted. It is heartbreaking what happened that night. Those poor people have a very long recovery ahead of them. Thanks for wondering about us sweet Judy!

Cold Weather Cozy

 Hi friends! It's been cold here in Kentucky and we even got a few inches of snow this morning. Winter has definitely shown up here and around the country! I actually enjoy cold weather and hunkering down in the house with warm sweaters, cozy  blankets and a steamy drink.  I have been working on a little kitchen refresh that I'm hoping to share in a few days. In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy a few pictures of our living room fireplace area. I hope you all stay warm and have a terrific weekend! I made some homemade chicken soup this morning and it has been simmering away on the stove top - it smells so good on this blustery January day. I'm looking forward to having some for supper tonight!

Cozy Winter Favorites: Wax Melts

Hi friends! I've been thinking about the things that make my house a home and give me all the cozy feels during the cold and sometimes dreary days of winter. I also thought it might be fun to do a little series of posts about them to share with you! Today let's visit one of all time favorite ways I like to cozy up my home, not just in the winter, but year around - wax melts!  There are so many things to like about wax melts, but my number one reason I'm a fan is no open flame! No danger of fire, no dirty soot. Don't get me wrong, I love a good candle (and do use them) but yikes, they sure burn dirty and make a mess when used day after day. And of course, the danger of forgetting to extinguish them and the risk of fire.  I do like the smell - or "throw" - of a candle more than a wax melt, but the wax melts are a great alternative!   Wax melts can be very economical - only a few dollars for a pack that will last you many, many days. They are easy to find - avail...

2024 Will Be Enough

 Hi y'all! Happy New Year to all of you!  I've been thinking a lot about the new year and all the usual resolutions and expectations we all tend to set for ourselves with a 365 day clean slate presented to us each January 1st.  As the Christmas season unfolded, I also have been thinking about the pressures and expectations we tend to put on ourselves to make the Christmas experience "perfect."   We craft, we decorate, we bake, we entertain, we buy and yet, it never seems enough. Social media has a lot to do with this feeling of not doing or being enough. I noticed in so  many blogs and vlogs this past season, where the creators would constantly  apologize that "I need to repaint this room, our Formica countertops need to be replaced, we ran out of time to install new floors, the curtains are all wrong" and on and on and on. Nearly every post or video proclaims some embarrassment or disclaimer that their home was just not quite good enough. Yet, there h...
