Amelia is 10 today!! What a bittersweet time it is, seeing my youngest grow up so fast. She hasn’t shown her face as much here lately, as she’s been busy living her best life!
I found this pink vintage Santa mug and punch bowl set a couple of weeks ago knowing I wanted to incorporate it in her birthday decor. Since we had her party last weekend and our kitchen is too small to display it, I decided to create a centerpiece with it and I love how it turned out!

A few sweet glimpses of winter/Christmas in the entryway! I do love the pop of color with my neutrals in here and the warm welcome it brings when everyone steps inside.

Happy December! I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving week. The girls enjoyed their time home lounging and snacking and playing the newest season of fortnight in their little space. This green @morphsofa is still loved and approved by all here!

@morphsofa combines space-saving
innovation with uncompromised
comfort. Their patented DynaPress
technology locks the foam’s cellular
structure during compression, ensuring
it rebounds to full support in 20
seconds —no sagging, no waiting. It’s durable enough for kids and pets and large enough to fit us all comfortably!

Since I shared half of the living room with you yesterday, here is the other half, lol. I can’t wait to have a real living room again!! The layout keeps my options limited when it comes to furniture arrangements and decor but I make it work.
The stocking holder I created this year is definitely my favorite things this year!

Sharing a few stills of part of the living room with you today.
I found a set of vintage Santa mugs and a punch bowl yesterday for a steal so I’ll be working on that today. I’ll share a sneak peak in stories later. The house has been decorated for a month now and I have enjoyed every minute decorating and enjoying the glow at night. I just need this month to slow down so I can enjoy it a little longer!

Who says you can’t put feathers in your tree? I say do whatever makes you happy, use whatever you have on hand, Make homemade ornaments, It doesn’t have to be decorated using the “trendiest” ornaments, bows and garland or colors to be beautiful. If it makes you happy then go for it. Creativity and originality are what make it beautiful!

The kitchen Christmas decor wasn’t complete without a fun Christmas rug from @purecozyhome
The print in this washable rug is just so cute and it’s spill proof and so easy to clean making it perfect for the kitchen. It is on the thicker side of a washable rug and so super soft! The kids love it and I love that it adds a whimsical touch to our kitchen this season!

Without a mantle this year, I had to get creative with our stockings! I had a vision for what I wanted and shared that with my husband. Twenty minutes later he came back with a branch and I got to work!
I wrapped twine around one end of the stick secured it with hot glue and left enough twine so I could hang it, I added the stockings and then secured the other end with twine, I hung it on the wall, added ribbon to hide the twine and then decorated it with garland and bells. I really love how it turned out!

Updated our ceiling fan to the beautiful modern one from @sofucorceilingfan
Living in the desert, our fan is always on even in the winter.
This fan was so easy to put together and install. I love the 3 light settings and 6 fan settings. The modern wood blades are beautiful too!

I have always loved winter and when it gets dark early. It has always been a time that I felt happy and comfortable, even when I was little. The only light would be the glow from the Christmas tree and the tv as my sister and I watched Christmas movies. I love that I get to do that with my kids now. It’s such a cozy time of year.

This year we have been enjoying this beautiful 7.5ft. flocked Rushmore from @kingofchristmas
The 850 warm lights give that perfect glow!

Finished our table setting this past weekend. The natural elements are just the color and texture I was looking for!
The girls have been eating the pomegranates so they don’t go bad so I need to replace the now empty spots with some fresh ones!

Our outdoor space just got a lot warmer and cozier with this beautiful gas fire pit set from @upha.patio
It’s been so nice being able to still enjoy this space even on chilly days! It’s so easy to use and I love that it came with the side table (to hide the propane tank), the glass wind guard (to keep pets and littles safe) and also the lava rocks! It comes in a couple different colors and sizes too!

Sweet old Mabel napped on the couch while I decorated this side of the room on Friday. I finished decorating this weekend but I’m sure I’ll move things around here and there. I took it back to my elementary years and wrapped my decor books in wrapping paper to look like gifts! Everything else in the space I already had on hand except for the gold and white candles.

Little sprinkles of joy have made their way in to the entryway!
This little space was fun to decorate. While most of our home is decorated neutral for Christmas, I did add a little pop of color in here and the kitchen. More to come soon!

And just like that, it’s Monday again! This weekend went by really fast, maybe it was all the cooking, baking and cleaning that went on. We made a GF and vegan pumpkin crisp that was so amazing, I’ll share the recipe later this week!

When the butternut squash soup is to die for!
It’s vegan and GF but has so many yummy flavors and the chili oil made it! I couldn’t get enough! Here’s the recipe

•1 small to medium-sized Butternut Squash •7 fl oz Coconut Milk •1 Red Onion •2 Carrots •1 Bell Pepper •2 heads of Garlic •1 cup of Cherry Tomatoes •1 1/2 cups Vegetable Broth •Olive Oil enough to drizzle over vegetables
Seasoning:
•1 tsp Black Pepper •1 tsp Ground Cumin •1 tsp Paprika •1 tsp Dried Thyme •1 tsp Dried Rosemary •1 tsp Chili Oil

Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 390°F  Prepare the Vegetables: You can either peel and chop the butternut squash, or simply cut the squash in half for roasting. Season the Vegetables: Add the seasonings to the vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly. If halving the squash, drizzle olive oil on the exposed flesh. Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Roasting: Roast for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the vegetables are golden and soft inside. If you’ve chopped the vegetables smaller, the roasting time can be reduced. If you’ve halved the butternut squash, expect a longer roasting time. For the last 10 minutes, remove the aluminum foil to allow the vegetables to caramelize slightly. Blending: Once roasted, scoop out the flesh of the butternut squash (if halved) and transfer all the vegetables to a blender.
Cooking the Soup: Pour the blended mixture into a pot and place it on medium heat. Stir in the coconut milk and cook for about 2 minutes, allowing everything to warm through.
Garnish with a drizzle of coconut milk, or chili oil

It rained most of yesterday so we spent the day cooking and baking. These donuts are the perfect Fall treat!
Vegan & GF Apple Cider Donut
Ingredients
1.5 cups apple cider •2 cups gf flour • 1 tsp baking powder • .75 tsp baking soda • 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon • .5 tsp nutmeg • .5 tsp sea salt • 2 tbsp vegan butter, melted • 1 flax seed egg • .5 cup sugar • .5 cup packed brown sugar • .5 cup cashew milk • 1 tsp vanilla
Topping 1 cup sugar • 1.5 tsp cinnamon • .5 tsp nutmeg • 6 tbsp Oatmilk butter, melted

Instructions
•Place the apple cider in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the apple cider continue to cook until it reduces down to 1/2 cup. This could take 15-30 minutes.

•While you are reducing the apple cider, you can measure out the cashew milk to bring it to room temperature as well as the flax seed egg, then melt the 2 tablespoons of butter and let it cool.

•Preheat the oven to 350°.

•Whisk together the gf flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl.

•Whisk the egg, melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, cashew milk and vanilla in a small bowl.

•Pour the wet mixture and the reduced apple cider into the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

•Next, take a gallon-sized zip-top baggie and fill with the batter. Cut a little corner off the bottom of the bag. Use the baggie to pipe the batter into the donut pan.

•Bake for 11-13 minutes. The donuts should be golden brown and bounce back after tapping your finger on top of the donut. Let the donuts sit in the muffin pan for 2 minutes, and then remove the donuts to a wire rack.

•Coat the donuts: Melt the 6 tablespoons of butter in a small pan. And in a shallow bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

•Once the donuts are cool enough to hold, dip both sides of the donuts into the butter. Then, dip both sides of the donuts into the sugar mixture. Place the donuts on a wire rack to cool.
