Four Christmas trees were a great idea… until January🤭

I wait to take everything down so I can actually enjoy the full holiday season, then I move slowly and put things away in a way that makes sense for next year. I’m not finished yet, but progress is happening.

✨If you want links to the storage bags, bins, or anything else you see here, comment “Holiday” and I’ll send them over.

Be honest are all your Christmas decorations already put away, or are you still working through it?

I’ve been eating this salad on repeat

I prep all the toppings ahead of time and leave out the lettuce, dressing, and avocado so everything stays fresh. When I’m ready to eat, I just add all the prepared toppings on arugula and add dressing and avocado.

What we wore on our cruise as a family of 4 🌊✨

I’ve learned that vacation outfits aren’t about being perfectly styled, they’re about being comfortable enough to enjoy the moment… but still feeling put together in the photos you’ll look back on.

Here’s what we packed:
• Boarding day: easy, breathable, travel-friendly
• Dinner nights: elevated but still comfortable
• Exploring the island: lightweight + walkable
• Caribbean night: fun color and prints
• Dress-up night: one outfit that felt special
• Water park day: simple, practical, quick-dry everything

Neutral tones for the boys. Lightweight dresses for me. Sandals we could wear on repeat.

Nothing complicated. Just pieces that worked for real life on the ship.

[Save this recipe]

Ingredients:
6 chicken thighs
6 medium red potatoes, cut into 1–1½ inch pieces

Preheat oven to 375°F. Add chicken and potatoes to a pan (skin down). Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, Cajun seasoning, adobo, and rosemary. Flip the chicken (skin up) and toss potatoes lightly to coat and repeat the seasoning on the other side of the chicken and potatoes.

Preheat oven to 375°F. Add chicken and potatoes to a pan with the chicken skin-side down. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, Cajun seasoning, adobo, and rosemary. Flip the chicken skin-side up, toss the potatoes to coat, and season again.

Add green beans to the pan. Drizzle with melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper mixture.

Remove foil, increase oven temperature to 425°F, and bake uncovered for 30 minutes until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender and golden.

Spoon the garlic butter sauce over everything and serve.
