I hope you had a marvelous Thanksgiving Day and weekend. We filled up on good food and family fun as well as lots lovin’ on the grandchildren. It had been a long time and I am so grateful we were able to be together this year! Now my household is easing into the Christmas season, continuing our attitude of gratefulness while making our home festive but cozy for this special season. Are you cozy-ing up your home for winter? If so, you’ll enjoy last week’s most-viewed post – Holiday Gift Ideas for Teen Boys and Girls.
Because we are in ‘holiday house’ mode around here, this week I am featuring:
- How to Make Your Home Cozy with Hygge and Homemaking because more than anything I want my family and our house guest to feel warm and welcome in our home.
- Stovetop Holiday Potpourri because this is so simple and makes a huge impact!
- Christmas Basket Pinterest Challenge because I’m inspired to see how others use what they have to re-create a look they love.

We did have a wonderful outside Thanksgiving this year at my in-laws. I’m slowly thinking about Christmas now. π I did put up my Christmas tree but that’s about it so far. One baby step at a time for me. lol.
