Can you believe half of December is behind us??
How are you holding up?
Are you almost finished doing “all the extra things” that come along with Christmas or are you just getting started??
We’ve been very busy at our house!
What we’ve been up to this week
The weather was gorgeous here last weekend, and we wanted to go to Disney Springs and do the 2022 Christmas Tree Stroll.
But, our preparations for the holidays took precedence, and we stayed home and worked!
We’re trying to get ahead with posts for the blog, so we can take Christmas week off!!
So, instead of the Christmas Tree Stroll, we drove around our area and looked at beautiful Christmas lights!
We still can’t get used to seeing Christmas lights and palm trees together!!
Anyway, we’re so excited because our youngest son is coming home tomorrow!
He attends college in Montana, and we have not seen him in person since last January!
It will be so good to have him home!
Then on Wednesday, our oldest son, Donna’s dad, and brother will arrive.
We are thrilled at the thought of having everyone under one roof for seven days!!
What we’ve been up to on the blog
We shared the Christmas decor on our front porch, the foyer, and the living room.
And we discussed seven ways to decorate for Christmas on a budget!
I hope you’ll take a few minutes and check out all our tips!
Next, we shared how you can make ornaments that match your decor and are unique to you!
And you get a bonus because the post is part of an Ornament Exchange Blog Hop!
Click here to see our tutorial and four other DIY Christmas ornaments!

We see a lot of Christmas lights on palm trees here in South Carolina too. I am still not use to it at first glance. I am so excited for Christmas and ready.

Sorry I’m late to the party this week, Donna, we’ve been out of town embracing the holiday hustle! Love the lights and am so excited you’ll have everyone home for the holidays. I know that’s a huge deal! Especially, when you have people coming in from all around the country. Off to check out what you’ve been up to. Thanks so much for hosting and wishing you all the best as you prep for the arrival of Christmas, CoCo
