Hello and happy post Christmas Sunday! I posted the day after on a little recap (click here if you missed it) I don’t know about you but I have to admit, I am actually so happy Christmas is over. For me, this year, the anticipation, the last minute planning (somewhat), the being in the process of a renovation, all overwhelmed me. In the end, I got it all done but I was physically and mentally exhausted at the end. The bright shining star this holiday season was our most precious gift of all, baby Phillip<\/p>\n

We had a most wonderful and enjoyable family Christmas though and I realized my detail oriented mind with some OCD tendencies, isn’t my best friend at a high pressure time like Christmas. I say it every year, but really and truly, next year, Christmas planning will be starting much much earlier. I even wrote it down to be sure I am manifesting it, that I will start a pre season blog series in Sept. You heard it here and can now hold me accountable!<\/p>\n

OK with the holidays now behind us, its onward to a brand new year, woo hoo! And here we go with this Sunday’s post….<\/p>\n

1 OUR RENOVATION<\/strong> So many of you ask about it. So, we did get started (one part of the house came down) and a new foundation was put in, framing to start hopefully next week. Once they are done with that,\u00a0 we move out for a minimum of a year but realistically probably longer. I am going to start a new series on our renovation so stay tuned, lots more on this to come!

2 FLOWER POWER! <\/strong>I feel like a broken record about my birthday flowers, but seriously….these are 14 days old! Not sure who else is like this but I cannot leave my house for a few days knowing these spectacular flowers will not be enjoyed. So I call local friends\/relatives and offer them and these have all gone to a good loving home:)
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Main tip keep flowers overnight in the coldest room in your house (even outside as long as it doesn’t dip below around 45 degrees). This is the secret to getting them to last over 2 weeks and still look as good as they did when you received them!<\/p>\n

3 INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST <\/strong>I feel its only fitting that with this last post of 2024, I include the last of some of the beautiful Christmas inspiration posts I had found on Instagram. Never ever too late to enjoy this magical season and gather ideas for next year!

4 BREAKFAST IN BED ANYONE? <\/strong>I am so excited about our fabulous chinoiserie hand painted breakfast trays that will be here sometime in Feb! Could this be any prettier?\u00a0 It will be offered in 3 colorways including this beautiful green. Stay tuned, we will hold a presale later January.

5 THE COTSWOLDS <\/strong>I have never visited the Cotswolds but its on my 2025 bingo card. Utterly charming, I know I will love it! I am torn as I have seen videos of this area during Christmas which is magical but I think I would rather go when the weather is milder to really explore. Have you been? Loved this informative and beautiful video.
