Back in the Swing of Things!

A couple of days ago I was about 2 seconds away from deleting my blog.
Yep, two seconds.

There were several reasons but they all went out the window when I checked my e-mail and saw a message from Ashley@ Sunshine.Life.Love.

She gave me this:


How sweet is that! 

It made me realize that :

1. I really do love blogging and meeting all you amazing girls.
2. Someone actually reads what I write.
3. I shouldn't be blogging for anyone but myself. 
4. Don't compare your blog to others. (This is the hardest thing for me)

So I'm going to jump back into blogging with everything I've got.

Thank you Ashley for helping me remember just how much I love to blog!

I'm gonna start tomorrow fresh and ready with a new post!

Christmas is All Around

So I was sitting on my couch watching Law and Order: SVU last night when I realized that I haven't shown y'all any of our Christmas decorations.
(Yeah don't ask why that show made me realize I hadn't shown off my Christmas decor...I don't know why either....weird).
But all the other blogs I've read are doing it too! 
So, I'm jumping on the Christmas Decor bandwagon.

Last week I finally made it to Hobby Lobby, which was totally and completely picked over.  It was the final days of all of their Christmas decor being half off.

I had to dig and rummage through everything they had left to find some good stuff.
And even then I didn't find too much.
I also had to buy all new ornaments because we don't have any. 
We decided (more like I decided) to go with more traditional colors this year.
Red and Gold to be exact.

So enough chit chat...I'll let pictures do the rest of the talking.
(PS. My camera is horrendous so please excuse the poor picture quality!)

Enjoy!




I've got mad bow making skills.
My madre taught me.
Thanks Madre.




Can't have an apartment full of Disney Cast Members and NOT have a few Disney ornaments!








Why yes I made that wreath as well.


Santa Mickey


My mom sent me this stocking as an early Christmas present!


And she sent one for all the roommates too! 



 In the center of our dining room table.
Oh and the Sexiest Man Alive.
Yum.


Well that's what we've got for now.
But more is coming!

Suzanne has been at home for the last weeks (by home I mean in Kansas)
And she sent me this picture the other day:

Can't wait to see it all laid out.
Or more importantly all put up pretty in our apartment! 

Have a Merry Friday lovelies!

Alrighty there ya have it, my favorites!

Can I just say, Pinterest is one of the greatest inventions EVER.
However, I'm so glad I didn't know about this when I was still in college.
I never would have gotten ANY studying done.

Blogger Funk

I've been MIA the last couple days.
No reason in particular save for I feel like I have nothing worthy to write.

It always happens Saturday to Tuesday.
Because on Wednesday and Thursday...I have link ups to participate in.
Meaning I don't have to actually come up with anything original that I think y'all would want to read.
womp womp.

How do all you bloggers out there with amazing blogs do it everyday?

I think I need to get out and get some blogger inspiration!

For today I think I'll leave y'all with one of my favorite Christmas songs:




Till tomorrow. :)

Favorite Holiday Films

It's December!! 
We can officially start saying Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I actually had the cutest little girl tell me "Merry Christmas" the other night when I was working in the lobby.
It just about melted my heart.

Alrighy so today is Day 4 of:

Fabulous Holiday Blog Challenge

Today I get to share my favorite holiday movies/tv specials.

Well here we go:

The Santa Clause is my all time favorite.  My brother and I watch this with my mom every year.
Oh and if you're interested it's the first movie on tonight for ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas.


This isn't just one of my favorite Christmas movies (which I watched last night as I decorated the apartment!) it's one of my all time favorite movies in general.  
Totally makes me which I were British.


This is a newer favorite of mine. But I felt I had to to include it because it is just amazing.
In fact the roommates and I watched this last night while we decorated out Christmas Tree.


I don't even think I need to explain this one.


Ok on to TV Specials.
Def one of my favorites is when TBS does 24 hours of A Christmas Story.
I probably watch it at least 4 times on Christmas day.


Of course I can't leave out the Disney's Christmas Day Parade! 
I make my family watch a little of this every year.
Want in on a little secret?
The "Christmas Day Parade" doesn't happen live ON Christmas Day.
No sir.
They film it before Christmas, in fact they're filming it tomorrow and Saturday.
Is your mind blown, cuz mine was when I found that out.


Last but not least are those traditional Christmas cartoons movies they play on ABC Family.
My favorite is "Santa Clause is Coming to Town" because it's narrated by Fred Astaire.
Oh and Jack Frost is another favorite.
But I def don't feel like it's Christmas until I see those playing.



I just love the holidays.  I can't believe they are already here.
Oh and it's finally getting cold here in Florida.

Just what we need to really get into the Christmas spirit!

Merry Christmas starting today!
