Wordless Wednesday

Here's a peek at what we've been up to this past week:

 Christmas Cards are hung! 

 Going out for Girls' Night!

Bundling up

 My wrapping theme this year-plaid & gold

 A beautiful wine cork ornament from Aunt Stacey in FL!

Gertie's holiday haircut :)

been an awful good girl...

This year, I would be really happy should I find these items under the tree....

necklace, slippers, watch, tripod, exfoliator, tea kettle, toms

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...at the G house!!

I love decorating the house this time of year. Going to storage and sifting through years' worth of ornaments, wreaths, pillows, etc. makes me all happy inside as I reminisce on years' past. The house always seems warmer and cozier to me this time of year. There's nothing like coming home after a long day, it's dark outside and only 4pm, and seeing the Christmas Tree all lit up. 

To me, it really is the most wonderful time of the year!

Happy decorating!!

Oh Saturday Mornings

There's something calm and peaceful around here on Saturday mornings. After waking up all week to a beeping alarm, there's a peace in waking up when my body decides to....which is usually before 7:30 lately, but still. I know Saturdays may not always be quiet and calm, especially when little ones are running around, but for now, Saturday mornings are tranquil and I love every moment...

Apartment Reno!

One of the perks of apartment living-we just got renovated, free of charge!

and I love that it's just in time for the holidays :) 

Kitchen/Bathroom Before: 

 and....After! 

I'm thrilled with the results!! I can't wait to show you some pictures with the holiday decor!

O Christmas Tree

December is here, and we're in full on 'Holiday House' over here at the G house :) 

The fire is lit, holiday music is playing, and the tree is up! 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
