FRIDAY FAVORITES....TREES PLEASE

Just lots of decorating, gift buying and meal planning over here! I hope you’ve had a wonderful week. We started the week out with record highs but now winter reality has set in and I’m going to have to bundle up majorly for my walk and talks and decorating the outside this weekend! Let’s get to the favorites my sweet friends!

1. Trees

OK, many of you know I have a numerous trees, more than 17 if you include the porch trees. I’ll do an entire post dedicated to my Christmas Decor but I wanted to share a few of the smaller trees with you. Saving my favorites for later.


Well, I say that but actually they’re all my favorite. Just take a look at my glam tree in my office. Pretty much the same as last year but I added some adorable pink and gold glitter shoe ornaments from Hobby Lobby. I got some pink wrapping paper and I have some packages under there soon.

This is what we call the simple snow tree! Just a little flocked tree from Walmart, only $27 that I sat inside a basket with some faux fur material. Added a faux fur garland, some snowflake ornaments and ski ornaments. It’s so cute.

This little one is also so cute, it’s the tiny one in the Christmas bedroom and I call it the candy tree!

The hall tree below is decorated pretty much the same as last year, but I have to say it truly is one of my favorites with the black and white buffalo check and red! A focal point for sure.

2. Aerie for Comfy GIFT GUIDE

I’ve been doing lots of gift guides and they are so much fun. I hope you’re garnering shopping inspiration from them but sometimes I find so many things at one store that I have just a gift guide dedicated to the store itself and that is for sure with Aerie! I have bought at least half of this and I want it all. Such great quality, so cute and so festive!


Aren’t these pieces just the cutest! The sweatshirt says a little bit naughty on the collar and I just love the shorts and leopard slippers! And Yes, there's another tree, lol!

4. Beef Stew

This is an old recipe and we have not had this in forever, but I made a big crock pot of beef stew earlier in the week and it was absolutely delicious and flavorful! We do not eat red meat very often, but this really hit the spot with some fluffy biscuits. You will absolutely love this, especially going into the colder months. Find My Recipe HERE and also one for my Stout Beef Stew!



5. Misc. Fun
POSTS OF THE WEEK

MONDAY ~ Gift Guide...What She Really Wants


LET IT SNOW SIGN

This Let It Snow Sign is a gem, 40% off at Michaels makes it under $15! It is white with champagne lettering. You can hang it, or I have it sitting on a stand in our bedroom as I have champagne, silver and white colors in there.


WINTER JACK
You know I’m all about creating the holiday cocktails and my good friend Kellyann introduced me to this Jack Daniels Winter Jack! I cannot wait to contact up some good ones for the Yeti Bartender with this! She noted it is hard to find, but I hit the mother lode at our local grocery store. 


MEMES

Too much negativity on my feeds 
so puppies..You're welcome!


Hope you're starting to get your festive on and Have a great weekend!

xoxo

  10. I love all your trees! I am slowly collecting more trees for around our house. You can never have too much happiness. I love that little naughty sweatshirt!!! How fun! Aerie definitely has some fun lounge wear. I have to laugh at that elf idea. So many people have sent it to me the last few weeks. Zoe just loves her elf so much and has such joy in seeing his shenanigans each day, I couldn't lock him up for 14 days.
