Our Christmas entry way and family room

December 12, 2022 By Tanya 12 Comments

Spending time with family and friends (and a little snow!) is my favorite part of the Christmas season hands down. Each year there are more memories to look back on, stuggles and blessings of the year that is coming to a close, and hope for the New Year. I am not a make-a-resolution gal but…

Christmas old + new

November 26, 2018 By Tanya 3 Comments

Our Christmas home + what I learned about Christmas ornaments

December 17, 2017 By Tanya 5 Comments

December 10, 2017 By Tanya 8 Comments

  Do you ever feel like you don’t accomplish enough? Like simplicity or relaxing and letting some stuff just go is something you’re just not good at?
