Holiday Decor Favorites 2024
I really try not to reinvent the wheel with my holiday decor. I add new bows to change up colors and pick a new gift wrap color scheme, but over all, I think that’s what makes the holidays so nostalgic, memories are evoked each year when you pull out the boxes or when you walk into your parent’s house to see items you remember from childhood. I have decorations from my grandmas. Each year when I add to my collection I try to invest into decorations that are not just beautiful, but will last and can hopefully be passed down to my kid’s future homes. Here a few items that I own and love, along with a few new items I’m shopping.
Getting My Protein
I tried Naked Nutrition protein oats and I may actually be able to reach my protein goals! I’m at the age where I need to step up my nutrition routine. Eating “mostly healthy” isn’t cutting it anymore, and with little kids and a busy life, I don’t have time to prepare gourmet meals that cater to everyone’s nutritional needs and preferences, so I am thrilled to have found a supplement that is not only delicious and easy, but will help me get to my recommended amount of daily protein.
Favorite Pre-made Bath Vanities
My official stance on pre-made vanities is that they are fabulous! There are many beautiful options in any style and size imaginable. If you opt for a pre-made vanity, you’ll probably have a bigger budget to spend on great lighting or a show stopping backsplash tile.
Hello July
July feels like the most care-free month, doesn’t it? It starts with a holiday, probably my favorite holiday! We always travel to Port Austin, a little tourist town on Lake Huron. My family has a house there, just a short walk from the lake. It’s a place that has so many core memories and nostalgia tied to it, but also a place that I can actually relax.
