Hope you had a lovely week-end. It has been rainy and humid in our area for what seems like weeks- although I am sure that is an exaggeration. Yesterday was breezy and cooler and though overcast, we didn't see any rain. And it finally felt like FALL!! It is beautiful with the trees in gorgeous colors.
It
makes me so excited! Can you believe Thanksgiving is in 2 weeks?? I love
the holiday season from start to finish and try to enjoy them all. We
typically celebrate Thanksgiving at our home with extended family so I like for
our home to feel like harvest time, fall with all the orange colors and pumpkin
scents. We are all so blessed I try to make sure we take the time to really
celebrate Thanksgiving.

I
usually try to wait until the Saturday after Thanksgiving to decorate for
Christmas, right after our Black Friday marathon. I bet some of you
already have your Christmas trees up??? No judgement here. The official
Rockefeller Center tree arrived in New York this week. If we didn't host
our family, ours would be up too. (Although Mike would probably frown
about it this early). It is a lot of work to decorate and I like to enjoy
it as long as possible. But everything is packed up by New Year's
Eve. Ready for the New Year all fresh and clean and a cute new agenda in
hand.
Do
you host your family for the holidays? Have a Friendsgiving? It is
so much fun to celebrate with the ones you love. But it can also be stressful,
don't you think? Cooking, cleaning, decorating, shopping, wrapping... all
in addition to the things we are already doing.
Over
the next few weeks, we are going to be sharing with you our Holiday family traditions,
yummy recipes, gift ideas and decorating tips. SHE secrets we hope you
will enjoy.
We
will have our Holiday Kick Off next Monday ~ so be sure to sign up for our
emails if you haven't already and comment letting us know what some of your
tips are too. We want to hear about your traditions, recipes and what you
like to give the person who has it all.
This
will be the first Christmas morning Mike & I will wake up by ourselves in 25
years~ I guess we will be starting a new tradition. I'll be sure to
share.....
Have
a wonderful week ~
Amy
