Staying home for the holidays?  This bright Christmas Fireplace is the perfect spot for reading Christmas stories and waiting for Santa………

Staying home for the holidays?  This bright Christmas Fireplace is the perfect spot for reading Christmas stories and waiting for Santa.........

There's nothing like a night by the fire over the holidays, am I right?  It gets dark so early, and we all want to hurry home, snuggle up with the ones we love, sip hot chocolate and read Christmas stories.  Isn't the holiday season the BEST?  Since we are staying put this year for Christmas (for the first year since Lydia was born)……I wanted to create a cute cozy space that we could enjoy leading up to Christmas.

Christmas Fireplace: I love these pops of buffalo plaid and that furry blanket!The minute I started to do a little holiday decor shopping, I couldn't stop thinking about our Christmas Fireplace.  I wanted to come up with a fun, family friendly way to decorate our mantle and fireplace……and one that would coordinate nicely with the classic red brick color.  Christmas Fireplace: I love these pops of buffalo plaid and that furry blanket!I fell in LOVE with the idea of using buffalo plaid items…..I think they're PERFECT for a bright and classic looking Christmas Fireplace.  From the simple Gift Boxes to the Buffalo Check Deer to that ADORABLE Joy sign…….we picked up a ton of Christmas decorations that helped us to create the perfect cozy Christmas spot.  Even that soft throw blanket? We grabbed for a STELLAR price!

We used all these adorable holiday decorations to set up the perfect area for Christmas Story reading, hot chocolate sipping, and even waiting for Santa.

    That is a beautiful fireplace. Too bad I don’t have one to make up like this.

☀️Favorite thing you did this summer?⠀⠀✨How it started…….these moments.⠀⠀📸How it ended…..we aren’t QUITE there yet. But, I’m packing the rest of the summer full of memories.⠀⠀☀️We still have:⠀- a Disneyland trip for my mom, Lydia and I this weekend (we started a girl’s trip tradition last summer and I’m excited to do a disney weekend together)⠀- a few beach days planned⠀- 3 more Padres games to go to⠀- the touring production of the Lion King⠀- and…..I have a grown up on my own Disneyland trip with my friends at Undercover Tourist (aka @themeparkfrog ) at the end of the month (I’m super excited to go with their team and a group of creators…we’ll be doing some special activities and sharing a TON of special things you can do at the parks)⠀⠀✨I can’t believe it’s almost over. This summer has been a gift.⠀⠀📸Now, tell me what your favorite summer moment has been!
🐾 Friends…….meet Frodo. Frodo, meet our fri 🐾 Friends…….meet Frodo. Frodo, meet our friends. 🐾💕We adopted Frodo last week through the Rescue House here in San Diego (highly recommend for anyone local)…..and he’s already become the king of the house.💕I had a TON of pets growing up (cats, a dog, rabbits, lizards, fish, chickens)…..and I’m so excited that Lydia will get to have this experience.🐾Do you have a pet?
💕 Double tap if you wish you were swimming righ 💕 Double tap if you wish you were swimming right now……..’Tis the season.  When we bought our house, I envisioned Lydia having all her friends over to swim….and this summer? We are FINALLY getting to have all the pool party play dates we’d hoped for.I just added this bucket game to our pool toys and OMG it’s so much fun (Robbie and I have used it more than any of the kids, ha!)While we picked up the game, we also did a water check.  Just an FYI, Leslie’s also offers “always-free” water testing at all their locations. You bring in a sample of your water to any Leslie’s location for your free test, and they can help you come up with a plan to treat any issues.Well…..who wants to come over for a pool party?!?<LesliesPoolPartner>#Leslies #WeKnowPools #LesliesPoolSupplies, #LesliesPoolCare #LetsPool @lesliespoolcare
📢My Dimpled Thighs have Entered the Chat. Phew 📢My Dimpled Thighs have Entered the Chat.Phew. There was a time when I would have never shared ANY of these…..because…….cellulite. Dimples. Veins. Marks.Just a reminder that dimples, veins, cellulite, and stretch marks are a normal part of a lived in body.Here’s to beach days, feeling free, and learning to let go of things that held us back.Is there something holding you back right now?
📚It’s…..COMING!⠀ ⠀ 🌙’Twas the nigh 📚It’s…..COMING!⠀⠀🌙’Twas the night before back to school and……..⠀⠀🗓Well? Do you have any special back to school traditions in your family?⠀⠀🛏<zulily partner> One of our favorites? We always pick out brand new pjs for First Day of School Eve.  I did this as a teacher too, as silly as it seems, it’s a fun way to celebrate and…..we all need new comfy pjs a few times a year anyways!⠀⠀🛍Want to start your own Back to School pjs tradition? These pjs are a KILLER deal in Zulily’s Back to School Shop that we helped curate (as in……less than the cost of a movie ticket which you never see for 100% cotton pjs).⠀⠀❤️I’m sharing a link in stories, and will be sharing a few more Back to School tradition ideas throughout the week!⠀⠀@zulily #zulilyfinds
