The holidays are around the corner already!

So crazy how fast time passes & that's why more then anything we need to cherish these moments with loved ones and recognize all that we have is because of our Father God. We have so much to be thankful for and we shouldn't wait for the season to roll around but live it out everyday by waking up & just giving thanks to God for He has given us life and all we have.

I truly love this time of year though because everyone just seems extra happy and we get to carry out traditions with our families that we've done for years. One for me is putting up the tree at my parents house; my mom bakes & makes hot chocolate & we put up the tree while watching hallmark. It's just one of those things that I remember doing ever since I was little & till this day I get super excited for. It's the simple things like that mean the most.

I am extra excited this year because my husband & I get to start our own traditions & decorate our very first home together. & trust me the excitement was to real that I started in October haha. Oops.

See my family has a thing that by Thanksgiving they already have their tree up & I don't know when that started but it became something I looked forward to when going to my grandmother's for Thanksgiving. & I know, I know even according to my mom I started wayyyy to early but who can blame me it's my first time decorating a home. Give this girl a break lol.

I have to admit I am loving the outcome of our home so far, it's just so festive & traditional which I that''s what I was going for (traditional/ rustic). I love modern but traditional just brings me back to my childhood & I have so many amazing childhood Christmas memories that it kinda just came so naturally when I started picking out things for our home.

I can't wait to also be sharing soon some traditions we have & a few holiday treats.

Here I leave you with a few pictures from what we've done so far to our home.

Hope everyone has an amazing season & happy decorating!
