TWO – Home!!! Being a homeowner can be challenging but it’s nothing like having your own. I’ve realized that moreso this month due to the holiday’s as we’ve had several guests. It’s been a blessing to be able to welcome our family and friends into our home and just to have that foundation for our cute little family.
THREE – Watching this big beautiful tree turn from green to what you see below over this past month. It’s right outside our tall kitchen windows and greets me every morning when I open the shutters. I’ve loved standing Maddie up in front of the window to watch the leaves fall while I cook. I also use to love climbing trees when I was little (tomboy phase) and this tree looks perfect for that or a tire swing, perhaps, for Maddie :)!
FOUR – These three shows (Revenge, Grey’s Anatomy & Scandal)! Talk about some amazing episodes this season! Forget Friday’s I’m living for Sunday’s and Thursday’s. Like seriously, I’m somewhat obsessed with these characters, especially Olivia. I wanted to name my daughter Olivia but the hubby thought it sounded old…maybe, but it’s SO pretty! And that dress she wore in this week’s episode was some kind of AMAZING (sing that word when you read it, I did :)!!!

FIVE – This photo of our pretty little Maddie-girl! She looks so cute and innocent. We want her to look this way FOREVER!!! She turned 9 months old on Monday, 11/26 (time is truly flying) and she’s begun to stand on her own, even clap at herself while doing it, AND cruising along the furniture. So yes, pretty soon she’ll be walking around to get into everything. Oh wait, she’s getting into everything already :)! Plus she’s reppin’ our alma mater and is just too cute doing it (GO STATE)!!!
the home is beautiful!!
Thanks a bunch Anna, I'm doing my best to make the inside as beautiful as the outside! Thanks so much for stopping by 🙂 enjoy your weekend!!!

Thanks so much Falen, I so LOVE that tree and thanks for stopping by!
Yes, it really is awesome to have a home to have family over. I especially like it during the holidays as I love showing off my holiday decor 🙂
That picture of your daughter is so adorable!!
Indeed Emmy! I'm working on crafts now for my Christmas decorations and I'm trying to decide what to do about a tree since Maddie is so small and gets into everything. It's so exciting!!! Thanks so much for stopping by and following along! Take care :)!
Yay for being a homeowner!! (And decorating it for Christmas, right?!)
So glad you got a turn at hosting…I'm sure you're an amazing one.
Maddie is soooo adorable!
RIGHT!!! I know Madison is too young for this to matter to her but it's so exciting for me!
And thanks for the compliment! My family thought I did a great job, but they are so bias, you know :)!!!
I am all over Revenge and Grey's too. My friend is trying to talk me into watching Scandal. Looks like I need to check it out now!
Such a precious picture of your daughter!
Emily, aren't those shows the best this season! Just when I think they can't make it any more interesting, they do!
Watching Scandal is a must! Seriously :)! Season one is a mini-series so I say at least give that a try and if you don't like it then it's not too much of a waste, BUT, you'll love it!
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for the Maddie compliment :)! Enjoy your weekend!!!
I just recently got into Revenge but I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
