It’s getting chilly at night here in Phoenix. Ye

It’s getting chilly at night here in Phoenix. Yes, I know it’s all relative, but for those of us desert dwellers, anything below 60 is pretty cold. Sharing a shot of our cozy front patio decorated for the holidays. I adore this outdoor space where we spend lots of time all Fall, Winter & Spring. It’s perfect for welcoming friends and neighbors, which I love!

We’re counting down the days until the holidays

We’re counting down the days until the holidays and celebrating with a fireside hot cocoa board at my house. I’m sharing comforting treats like peppermint marshmallows, kettle corn and cinnamon graham crackers along with familiar and festive scents like pine needles, cedarwood and a crackling fire - fragrance notes in this candle - for my family to get cozy. To add to the warm glow, I’m lighting @yankeecandle’s Tree Farm Festival from their Holiday Countdown Collection to bring it all together. #ad

These stirring spoons with double chocolate melt right into a cup of piping hot milk - how easy is that? I put all of the goodies on a wood board and set it up next to our outdoor fireplace with lots of knit throws for a memorable night together. Doesn’t get much better than that!

Happy Sunday friends! Hope everyone had an amazing

Happy Sunday friends! Hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving weekend. We had a beautiful poolside Thanksgiving dinner with family coupled with some picture-perfect weather here in Phoenix. We had other plans for the weekend including a birthday brunch and Christmas pictures, but unfortunately a stomach bug swept through the family and knocked 11 of 16 of us out! We figured out the vector was my two-year-old darling niece who, at 27 pounds, packed the punch of an assassin as it ripped through the family. Still recovering this Sunday, and although a few of us hit our goal weight, I’m sure we’ll look back and laugh, but not quite there just yet . . .

I’ve been playing around with ideas for my Thank

I’ve been playing around with ideas for my Thanksgiving tablescape this year, and I keep getting drawn back to a modern, neutral palette. I’m such a big fan of using lots of greenery for an organic, botanical table and loved how this turned out. My friends from @solinohome sent me these gorgeous linen placemats and napkins from their Contempo collection, accented with a wide border in a natural hue. Glass cloches, mercury votives and bamboo flatware round out the look, while a small sprig from a backyard tree graces each place setting. One my favorite decor tips is to invest in linens that can work for you year-round, not just for the holidays, like these neutral-hued pieces. That way, you can use them for many different occasions!
