October Favorites

 
   

Rosehip Oil
I have absolutely enjoyed using this oil on my face.  I use it as my daily moisturizer.  It is light, my skin absorbs it quickly, and after using it I feel that my skin is visibly brighter and healthier.  This is the kind I use.

Age of Adaline
Loved this movie.  The way each scene is put together, the clothing, the story.  A lovely movie to cuddle up to this fall.

Plaid Scarves

Plaid Scarves like this one and this one.  What an easy way to add plaid to an outfit.  I bought one last year and am thinking about buying another one.  Seriously thinking I may order this one.

Books on CD
With commuting back and forth from school each day, we have become obsessed with listening to books on CD.  We check ours out from our library.  I love the books that are found in this and this book.  Also seriously considering an audible subscription.

Read Aloud Revival Podcast
Enjoying the podcast Read Aloud Revival.  Just some lovely inspirational conversations about the importance of reading to our children.

Easy Crafts
I’ve been enjoying simple, easy, and quick crafts.  Especially with busy days and running from one thing to another, I don’t have time for long, time consuming crafts.  Its so fun to sit down and complete something in an hour or less.  Here, here, and here are a couple quick projects from my archives.

Diffusing Oil In a Diffuser
I have loved using my diffuser.  Right now my difuser sits in my kitchen and I use it most days.  My favorite combination to diffuse right now is lemon, peppermint, and lavender.  So clean and fresh.  I’m thinking of getting another for our bedroom.  This one is pretty and has great reviews.

Essential Oils
I just put in an order to Edens Garden and am so impressed with their products.  Their presentation and quality seems fabulous and the price is much less then the other oils I have seen.  I ordered their $22 value package that was a fun way to try some oils, free shipping, and a lot of carrier oils.  I’m excited to order their sweet almond oil, it just sounds lovely.

Apples and Peanut Butter
One of my favorite healthy treats.  My favorite apple is Honeycrisp, sliced into thing wedges, with a scoop of peanut butter.  Kirtland creamy peanut butter from Costco is my favorite.

Salt and Straw
We love this place, anytime of the year, such a yummy, fun place to go.  Since icecream is my favorite, I could go everyday, though I try to make healthier choices each day and limit my trips to every once and awhile.  Why can’t ice cream be good for you?  A must when you visit Portland!

 Blank Space by Ryan Adams
I’m listening to this on repeat.  Absolutely adore his version of this song.

General Conference
So enjoyed this talk by Elder M Russel Nelson  about women and the power that we have.  You can watch it here.  I always enjoy Conference, but this year was extra special.  So much to be grateful and hopeful for.  I relisten to Conference throughout the year with the Gospel Libray App.

Stitch Along
Excited to join in this stitch along.  You know I’m a huge fan of What Delilah Did.  Everything she touches is lovely.   You can buy the kits here or purchase just the PDF patterns here.

Our evening of festivities is finished.  Took a break and ate some chocolate, now I’m headed back to fill some stockings and wrap a few presents before bed. I’ll put Steve in charge of cleanup and breakfast prep.
Do you love using maps in your decor? I absolutely Do you love using maps in your decor? I absolutely do, and I love this new map I just received from @grafomap.

My husband and I both love Oregon so much, five out of the seven of us in our family were born here in Portland, so this city is such a beautiful, fun place! Love how it looks in our home. 

The map itself is printed on heavy duty canvas, the colors are just perfect, and it comes with the two wooden attachments for framing. Such a perfect gift for anyone! 

I can’t believe it’s three more nights until Christmas. My kids are beyond excited! I’ve been sharing Christmas tips and ideas in my stories, check those out, today I was chatting about stocking stuffer ideas. So fun to share here with all of you!

What do you do to make your home cozy? Do you have What do you do to make your home cozy? Do you have a favorite cozy memory?

“My personal decorating style is cozy, romantic and a little rustic, with a sense of whimsy.”

Kimberly Schlapman

Loving this quote this morning. Cozy is definitely part of my style and I think about it a lot when I’m decorating. 

My mom is amazing at cozy and inviting spaces. Growing up she  always made our home feel warm and inviting. I remember her turning down my bedding and turning on my bedside lamp, so when I came into my room at night it was warm and inviting. I remember coming home from school to a plate full of freshly baked after school snack. I remember twinkly lights and holiday music throughout our home during the Christmas season. So many little things that she did to make our home so very cozy.

I try to do the same throughout my home. Lots of pillows and throws on all of our couches and chairs. Nothing is off-limits to pile up, squish down, or cuddle up with. Twinkly lights are my best friend during the holiday season and beyond. I love to string some lights on our headboard that I keep up throughout winter. You can find them strung up and placed on most surfaces through my home.  Steve and I both love a cozy fire in our fireplace. This last Sunday I came home after dropping off a few things at friends homes. Steve was cleaning up the kitchen. He had gone through the house and turned on all the Christmas tree lights and twinkly lights on all the shelves. He had a fire going in the fireplace and Christmas music playing. We all ended up gathering in the living room and just chatting and hanging out. It was such a cozy afternoon together.  Such a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Excited to be sharing this wintery tiered tray tod Excited to be sharing this wintery tiered tray today. Tiered trays are so fun to decorate. I actually bought my first one this year. I have used cake stands in the past to make my own tiered tray when I didn’t own one.  They work in a pinch! 

Today I went with a wintry Christmas theme. Lots of woods and whites. I’m excited for how it turned out. Not only will it work for Christmas time, but it also should transition well into January and February. I gathered together all the items I thought I might use, and just began decorating the trays. It really is such a fun fun process if you haven’t tried it before. I break it all down in my stories today.  Check them out for more details on how I pulled it all together. 

I am Day 5 of our 12 Days of Christmas Tour. So fun to join with these amazing ladies in sharing some Christmas inspiration.  Check out their amazing accounts below and follow along each day for lots of Christmas ideas!

I love this little corner of my living room and my I love this little corner of my living room and my fun golden tree. I’d love to find a smaller creamy white tree this season, but I feel like everything is out of stock or harder to find.  Do any of you feel that way? 

I finally started Christmas shopping, we were a little slow on getting a list together this year, and I’m having a hard time finding what my kids are asking for! Such a tricky, tricky time.

So,  this week I have a lots of fun Christmas goodness to share with you.  I’m joining with two different groups of ladies to share some awesome Christmas inspiration with all of you. I’ll share more on that today later in my stories. I am also sharing my Christmas tree, my Santa cubby corner, and a couple diys. It should be a really fun week! 

What are your plans for this week? Any Christmas traditions that you are celebrating??
