📝 A love note to this week. It’s been a week of slowly wrapping up our Christmas decorating. I worried that being sick would keep me from getting as much decor up as I hoped, but little by little, it came together. This week has been full of festive warm mugs in my hands, flour-dusted counters, the smell of cookies lingering in the air, half-finished puzzles, cozy twinkly lights in every corner, and a house that feels lived in and loved. The kids wake each morning eager to see where our elf Sparkles is hiding or what he’s been into. We’ve shared many hot cocoa mornings despite the warm Texas weather. I’m soaking in these views, and the magic, for as long as I can, because Christmas is my favorite season, and it always goes by far too quickly. 📸 Sunday snapshots, tucked away for the years when this season lives only in memory momlife cozyhome beautyintheordinary everydaymagic cozychristmas Texas Hill Country • homemaker • Christmas at home • Christmas with kids • cozy home • cozy Christmas • country living • moms of instagram LTKdayinmylife LTKmomlife LTKHoliday
