A highlight this holiday season? Having a new kitchen to bake in! Last year we had just moved in and I didn’t do any holiday baking myself (thanks to my Mom for stepping in on that one!). This year we’ve already made our way through our first batch of our favourite holiday cookies - these mint chocolate candy cane kiss cookies. If you love mint chocolate, you’ve got to try them! Sharing the recipe on the blog today along with 11 other bloggers for a #virtualcookieexhange. Tap pic or see my stories to see who else is sharing... pop by via #linkinprofile .

As Christmas approaches, I’ve been reflecting more and more on what I’m thankful for. I have to admit that I’ve had a difficult Autumn this year and have allowed myself to dwell in places of negativity much more than during any other time in my life. But as I worked on photographing, editing, and writing my Christmas tour post(s) this week, I realized that I’ve been focusing on things that are temporary, changeable and unimportant. Dwelling in a place that isn’t positive takes a toll on your soul after a while, and part of the point of Christmas is the wholeness of our soul.
I am choosing, now, as the holidays approach to focus daily on all that I am thankful for and all that I am blessed with. Gratitude breeds joy and peace, right? And today I’m very grateful for our home, our family, our friends, and how far we’ve come this past year. Today I’m sharing our simple Christmas decor ideas throughout the house.... pop by via my #linkinprofile

It’s been one year since we moved in and things have really changed (swipe left to see this same corner before). These open shelves in our new kitchen were so fun to decorate for the holidays! I shared part one of our Christmas tour yesterday with a glimpse at Christmas in the kitchen. Pop by via my #linkinprofile to see the rest. Fifty bloggers are sharing part of their Christmas home tours this week in the #seasonalsimplicitychristmastour - tap pic or check out my stories to see who shared today! .

It’s here! Home Tour Week is upon us. I can hardly believe that it is the first week of December already… and I haven’t bought more than a couple of gifts yet. The house is decorated, the baking has begun, and the parties and dinners are all booked. But… I haven’t really thought about what exactly will be going underneath the tree this year 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🎄. Good thing it’s Cyber Monday! Today on the blog I’m sharing our kitchen and eating nook/beverage centre all decked out for the holidays (see it all via my #linkinprofile), and 9 of my blogging friends are sharing part of their home decorated for Christmas, as well! Tap pic or see my stories! .

Woot woot! Happy December everyone! I LOVE December... and am super excited to be starting off the week tomorrow with the #seasonalsimplicitychristmastour. 50, yes I said FIFTY bloggers are sharing their homes all decked out for the holidays! Here is a little sneak peak at my new favourite spot to style... our kitchen shelves. I invite you to pop by tomorrow for it all. And happy Sunday everyone! Are you busy decorating for Christmas today?! I think we will start some baking!
