We’re in February already, y’all. It’s crazy how fast the year has gone so far. I shared my Valentine’s Day gift guide already, but I thought it’d be helpful to include a last minute Valentine’s Day gift guide too for those of us still trying to come up with gift ideas. These are some of my favorite finds from Amazon (we love Prime shipping). This satin pajama set is currently my…

My 2022 Holiday Gift Wrap

Y’all, I just have to say I’m AMAZED that I got this gift wrap ordered by November. I honestly thought it was going to be coming my way in December with how crazy things have been lately with a newborn and a toddler running around. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love it, but things are chaotic if I’m being honest. I am super excited about Christmas this year now that…

My 2022 Holiday Decor Inspo

Don’t get me wrong, I love getting into the Halloween spirit, but there’s something about Thanksgiving and Christmas that gets me — especially now that I have kids. I love decorating for the holidays. I usually do it pretty early so I can shoot holiday content for the blog, but I also just really enjoy…

I’ve talked to so many of you who told me you have the same issue once the holiday decorations start coming down, so I decided to offer a few tips on getting past the post-holiday slump.

5 Ways to Celebrate New Year’s Eve at Home This Year

You may have seen on Instagram that Duncan and I are in California at the San Ysidro Ranch. It’s been the perfect way to cap off 2021 and get ourselves ready for the year ahead. Duncan and I will get to…

Hello from Dallas! Although I am seriously missing those mountain views and fluffy white snow, it feels good to be home. We are FINALLY starting to get back into the routine of things after a week in Aspen… and I’m scrambling to get all the things done before Christmas. I think I’m in shock that Christmas Eve is THIS FRIDAY. (insert panic attack here) Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are two…

7 Christmas Morning Breakfast Ideas

There are few things greater than Christmas morning, am I right? Between showering your loved ones with special surprises and spending the whole morning lounging in your PJs, it is definitely one of my favorite days of the year. We also love to enjoy a big breakfast mid-morning that will hold us over until our early Christmas dinner. We don’t have a specific breakfast that we make every Christmas. Instead,…

2021 Gift Guides: Stocking Stuffers

One of my most popular gift guides every year is for stocking stuffers. It cracks me up! Y’all love your stocking stuffers and I can’t argue with it — it’s so much fun to open up a stocking full of little treats that you might not think to buy for yourself. I personally love filling up stockings for Duncan (and now Four!), and I even bring stocking stuffers for everyone when…

There is so…

My Festive Christmas Tablescape

Doesn’t it feel like just yesterday I was sharing my first Thanksgiving table and now we’re already onto my Christmas table? Where did the time go!? I’ve gotten SO into creating tablescapes for holidays, birthdays, random Tuesdays… you name it, I’ll put together a table for it. ;) I think it’s a blast to try out different combinations of plates, napkins, glassware, etc. It blows my mind how changing up…

12 Holiday Movies to Watch This Month

Is there anything cozier than cuddling up on the couch with a cup of hot cocoa and your favorite blanket to watch a holiday movie in December? It is truly one of my favorite holiday traditions that we do every year. I feel like it’s a pretty highly debated topic what the best holiday movies are. It seems like everyone has their favorites. There are several that we must watch each year…

Holiday Cocktails & Mocktails You Need to Make

There’s something so fun and festive about making cocktails this time of year.

I had a blast coming up with…

My 2021 Holiday Decor

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! There are few things I love more than a house full of holiday decor. It’s SO cozy and festive.

Activities to Get You Into The Christmas Spirit

Tomorrow is the first day of December and do you know what that means?!? There are only 25 more days until Christmas! Before I met Duncan, I never really made a big deal about Christmas. November and December are my busiest work months of the year, so most days I was too tired and unmotivated to celebrate the Christmas season. That all changed when I met Duncan. It’s definitely his…

New Christmas Traditions I Want to Try With My Family

Growing up, my family was never really rigid when it came to traditions, but there are a few things I remember from growing up that were special. Now that Duncan and I have started our own family, we’ve been thinking about what traditions we want to start with Four.  I imagine it might take us a few years to really get into a groove and figure out the traditions we…
