I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Saturday was another cold and horribly rainy day. Yesterday was beautiful and a nice sunny week is expected….finally! The past 2 weeks have been non-stop clouds and rain. I am working on getting to all of the wonderful comments from the past couple of weeks, but it has been difficult with the weather conditions. We live in the country and all we can get is satellite internet. If it is cloudy and rainy…forget internet access. I've been having to use hubby's work internet and my phone when I can. He's not too happy that it caused us to go over the data plan for the month….of well. 🙂 I love hearing from you and will be replying to each and every one of you this week as I get caught up!

Today I'm sharing with you just a glimpse of the upstairs family/play room. Ashlyn had a friend over so I tried to just take a few shots so they could study for mid-term exams this week. I am so excited for them to be on break as of the 20th.

Looking at this, I realize that this a thrift store vignette…with the exception of the Christmas decor! 

I used my overhead projector method found HERE for tracing my chalk-art loosely. A lot of it is freehand like the holly border. Here is the free printable for personal use only. This is my first time adding as a Google doc, so if you have trouble with it, email me and I can send to you as a png file. You could print and frame it or follow my transfer method found HERE if you do not have access to an overhead projector. I bought mine in a thrift store. Craigslist is also a great source. It can be enlarged at a copy center if you don't have overhead projector access.

Christmas Printable for personal use only.

I used colored and white chalk. It honestly took less than 30 minutes to draw and color!

 I love this Jim Shore Santa and reindeer set. I have used it all over the house through the years depending on the look I was after. Last year it was in the breakfast area. 

1-Christmas Playroom Vignette 017

 The runner was also from previous years in the kitchen. The fresh cedar is from the woods. It smells like Christmas! I had big intentions of doing faux fur or something like that for snow, but I kept forgetting. We hardly ever have snow in the south so just the greens is more authentic. Listen to me trying to explain away my slackness! I originally had a creamy pashmina scarf of mine here, but the color was off. I have a red one that I could have used, but I'm wearing it too much right now!

1-Christmas Playroom Vignette 012

 I bought this lamp for under $20 a while back in a consignment shop. I just love the French styling of it. I've been debating painting it, but think I'm liking the antique metal. What do you think? I tried so many shades from Home Goods to Wal-mart, but they just weren't big enough! I ended up having to buy one from Pottery Barn.

Here are a couple of other areas of the playroom.

 My chalk painted antique cedar chest came from Restore and that awesome painted tray, $4 from GoodWill.

 The kids' Christmas stuffed animals from childhood act as the tree skirt.

All of their hand-made ornaments are on this tree and a few collected. All colored lights are on this tree!

Nutcracker collection left on display year around from Our Southern HomeI just simply have a strand of clear lights to illuminate them. I leave them here year-round now. It's fitting for a playroom.

With a paint pen, I have which child's name they belong to and the year given. I haven't gotten them one every year. The green one holding the beer Stein came from Germany. My mother gave it to me when we started a collection a few years back. It is around 40 years old. My uncle bought it for her while visiting Germany many years ago. Thanks for visiting today!!

    I love the printable you created. Thanks for sharing it with us.

    Does your overhead give a crisp image to trace? When I trace something at school, I can never see all of the small details. My overhead is from the 70’s, so that could be the problem!

AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery sto AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery store. I could explore forever. Ashlyn and I enjoy cooking together so shopping for our favorite steak taco night dinner was the perfect opportunity to visit our new @foodlion in the Greenville, SC area. We are no stranger to Food Lion! We shop there when in NC while visiting our family beach cottage. The extra fresh produce and meats section always blows us away. Food Lion prides itself on keeping prices low and passes savings to its customers. Be sure to sign up for an MVP card in-store & online. Swipe to see more + our yummy dinner! Also, check out my stories! Easy, Fresh, affordable, you can count on Food Lion every day!!! https://lnk2.io/wb5NmqG #ShopFoodLion #FoodLion #Fooliongroceryhaul #FoodLionMVP #groceryshopping #FL #budgetmeals #MVPsavings #shoplocal #localgoodness #savingsatfoodlion #steaktacos #tacos #yeahthatgreenville
Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain and cold creep back in. The weather is a big tease around here! A tip & a question! Please read below...help a girl out! 

🌸 Do yourself a favor, when you go to the grocery store....pick up some fresh flowers. They are inexpensive and instantly brighten your day. Change out the water every couple of days and most will last a week. Cut a little off the stems as well. 

👁 I recently had an eye appointment. My doc wrote a prescription for me to get progressive readers. Folks, She said that I need 2.5s! I’m in a 1.75. It’s such a pain. Here’s my question. I can no longer pluck my eyebrows with my magnifying mirror! 🤣 The 52 struggle is real! What’s a girl to do? Become Bert or go to the salon. I don’t wax because it’s too irritating. @ashlyn_little offered to pluck them! 🤣 Anyone else in the same boat? 

Favorite @lovechicos look! My So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are on sale! Today is also the last day of their first-ever warehouse sale!

Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usu Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usually have a last one out rule. I just can’t walk in the bedroom with an unmade bed. My dresser may have a pile of folded laundry for a couple of days, but that bed is made! That Amazon blanket is linked in stories. It’s soooo good! 

This is perhaps my favorite look for our master bedroom! Soft toile, linen and leopard print bedding and blankets are so cozy! http://liketk.it/3953P #liketkit @liketoknow.it #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKstyletip @liketoknow.it.home

I have not been this excited about the weekend sin I have not been this excited about the weekend since last weekend! Ha, ha! Happy Friday! No big plans here, but I’m still trying to dress up for a date night in on the weekend. We’ve been eating a lot in the dining room lately. It’s a cozy space with the twinkle lights that I don’t have the heart 
to take down. It’s like feeling like we are in an actual restaurant opposed to the daily meals at the kitchen table. Just that little extra effort makes a difference. #ad

Loving these separates from @lovechicos This lightweight chevron sweater is perfect for now and spring. The lines are so slimming with the flowy ¾ length sleeve. Guess what! My So Slimming Girlfriend Jeans are on sale now thru February 25th! All full-priced jeans are $59!

Been watching the news before cooking dinner and e Been watching the news before cooking dinner and enjoying a glass of wine. It’s heartbreaking seeing what’s going on in Texas. The people, the animals....I pray that everyone finds warmth, food and water tonight. It makes me look ahead to warmer days and carefree times of summer. This photo was last summer....I’m ready for outdoor weather. 🙏

Never regret anything that made you smile. – Mar Never regret anything that made you smile. – Mark Twain 

I’ve been on a no sugar or anything processed lifestyle change going on 7 weeks except for that weekend cheat meal. Spent an afternoon doing a little shopping and indulging in a vanilla chai latte with my daughter, and it made my day! No regrets on the sweet splurge. #ad

This outfit with pieces from @lovechicos has been on repeat the last couple of weeks! I don’t tend to wear bright colors like this in the winter but let me tell you…. this sweater changed my mind! I am sharing 4 fun looks on the blog today with some of my favorite @lovechicos pieces. #lovechicos

These So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are the only ones I reach for these days. They work with boots, heels, flats and sneakers.
