‘Tis the Season | Bring Comfort Home


During the holidays, my favorite comforting traditions are baking, watching Christmas movies & spending time with my loved ones.

A nice clean home and holiday scented candles like peppermint and Christmas pine really scream comfort to me. Watching Christmas movies with a big cup of hot cocoa with the aroma of the candles in the air is so comforting. 

My family is always so funny and we spend endless hours laughing about the most random things. One of our favorite traditions during the holidays is baking cookies and decorating the tree together. We still make it a point to continue these traditions each year! Continuing traditions and making new memories is what really brings comfort into the home. 

The holidays bring fun and cheer into our lives, but flu season can interfere. Thankfully Scotties tissues are hypoallergenic, fragrance free and perfect for those holiday sniffles. The new holiday packaging is so cute and will fit in perfectly with your decor.

Look Book | Thanksgiving Outfit Inspiration 

Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday! It’s the holiday that starts the season and gives me the warm feeling that quality family time is near. This year we are hosting Thanksgiving dinner in our new home! We are both a little anxious and hopeful that everything will turn out right! I love to cook and know my side dishes will come out yummy, but we’re a little worried about the turkey! (We’ve never cooked a 22 lb 🦃 ) My favorite hint to eat on Thanksgiving is my sweet potato casserole and my Momma’s mashed potatoes! She seriously makes the best, nothing will ever compare! 

Aside from the delicious foods, looking your best is a must. I posted a cozy outfit for those with cooler weather and a loose fitting dress that is perfect for hiding that food baby!

Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall ♡

Happy October! 👻🎃🍁🍂🍃☕ I can’t believe I’m already saying that! It seems like we were just celebrating Independence Day. It’s like we blink and the year is almost over! I really love summer time, but Fall just has this cozy feel to it that makes me love it so much. Although we don’t get a Fall in Florida, we can still enjoy many aspects of the season! IMG_20151001_101027One of my absolute favorite things about Fall is pumpkin flavored everything. The coffee, the muffins, pie… i just love it all! A lot of people hate it (they don’t know what they’re missing). The fact that you can have the taste of pumpkin pie in your coffee is uhhmazingggg! I love to bake, especially during Fall and the holidays. I see a batch of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies in my  near future!

I am obsessed with Fall scented candles! There are so many yummy flavors and we always have at least 2 different scents burning!

We may not have the opportunity to enjoy the boots, scarves, and hoodies until about December, but I love pumpkin carving with family and Halloween! After carving, we always bake a huge batch of the seeds with salt! Mmm mmm! Snuggling up and watching Halloween movies is an absolute must!  And for all you football fans, football season!

2015-10-01 11.07.52Aside from all of the Fall-ish type events, October is also Breast Cancer Awareness month! Encourage your loved ones to get checked! Most people dont show signs or symptoms and often don’t have any family history of it.

My littlest sister will be turning 17 in 20 days!! I can’t even comprehend how that is happening already! And on the 23rd, Mike and I will be engaged for 1 year! I know, I can’t believe it either. ♡ Speaking of being engaged, I found my dream ring that we were searching for before we settled on diamond rings. So yes, I have a new ring, but I will blog all about that in another post! ♡

October is an eventful, exciting month! Are you all excited for Fall?! 🍁🍂🍃
