« sunday riff-raff | Main | cyber monday! »
Hi guys! We're just winding down from a long and wonderful weekend. This morning I nixed spin class and went for an 8 mile run instead. It was beautiful but super chilly out. I made sure to layer up and wear my running gloves. After my run, I showered, got a blow out {thanks to the Hair Cuttery & their cheapo prices,} met my friend Amber for lunch, followed by a trip to the mall. I'll tell you what I got tomorrow. Right now it's all about our CHRISTMAS TREE!
I am officially done decorating our crib. I just finished up with the tree. Ahhh. She's so purdy.
What do you think? Not bad for a fake one huh?
We put it up yesterday but I decorated earlier this evening. I love it.
Christmas is truly the best time of year. I can't help but smile, I even think there's a little pep in my step too :0)
Once upon a time I was a brunette. Yes, me, Lisa "the blonder the better" Paige.
Proof.
I LOVE pointsettias. We bought 13 at Home Depot. They have the best prices around for these little red gems.
My friend Danielle tipped me off about hanging a wreath over a mirrow {bc that's what she does.} What a brilliant idea! Why didn't I think of that? As soon as we parted ways, I went strait to where else?? PIER 1! Can't beat a wreath that not only matches the color of your family room, but is also 25% off. Who am I to turn down a sale? In the midst of my Christmas decorating process, I found myself being very picky with the stuff I was putting up. I'm not a knick-knack kinda girl. I like classy and simple decor. Half the crap I've put up in past years didn't make the cut this year. I like this new minimal cleaner look. I'm going with it.
We're just relaxing now. Slow cooker Sunday was yet another success. Second week in a row we had stuffed peppers. We love our pepps. Hope you're enjoying your last day of freedom vacation.
Talk to ya on the radio tomorrow!
PS- Don't forget to check Lifetime and The Hallmark Channel for our favorite Christmas movies! My dvr is going to expolode with all the specials I have scheduled to record.

Your home is beautiful! Where did you get the two chairs that are on both sides of the tree? Love them - I have been looking for chairs just like that. Thanks!

Hey Lisa, I heard pointsettias could really make a dog very ill if they eat them. We don't want Phoebe and Miles to get sick!
