Wreath tart made by my friend Dana. In the scent ‘Christmas Tree’. I can’t bear to melt it, I like it displayed in this bowl too much!

Sparkly snowman on the porch. He greets all of our guests ::

Enjoyed my Fresh Balsam candle from Bath & Body Works today. We may have an artificial tree, but a good candle helps to give you that scent of a real one!

So are all of you done decorating? I have been having fun! Feels so good to have the house all decorated! It's the little finishing touches I love doing! Putzing around, placing a few pine cones, jingle bells, greenery & berries here & there. I sprinkled  just a bit more holiday cheer around our home today! ♥

Time to start thinking about shopping & baking!

Until next time, take care.

I so hope you had fun on our little holiday home tour inside & out! Take time during this busy season to sit & enjoy the sights, sounds & smells of Christmas. I love sitting down after the kiddos have gone to bed when it is quiet, nothing but the tree lights on, Christmas music playing, Time to wind down at the end of a busy day.

Thank you to each and every one of you for stopping by my blog. I love reading your comments & I appreciate you taking the time to visit!

Until next time, take care.
