Holidays, These are a few of my Favorite Things!

I do hope your tinsel is not in a tangle and you are enjoying the festive messy merriment of the season! My house is still in somewhat of a jumble, but I am embracing the fun and letting go of the concept of perfection…

Today I want to share some of my favorite things to do for the holidays in hopes of giving you last minute ideas or even just a smile!
