I’m tying bows for Christmas decorating. There is a satisfaction in making a big fluffy bow. I have offered them on my Facebook page, showcasing different styles and colors to suit various tastes. If you like what you see, let me know, and I will get back with you promptly to discuss your preferences and how I can help brighten your holiday décor with these beautiful creations.

Do you use paper calendars? I do, and I’ve found that there’s something satisfying about writing things down as opposed to relying solely on my phone calendar. The tactile experience of putting pen to paper creates a more personal connection to my schedule. I appreciate the way it allows me to visualize my tasks and appointments, capturing the whole picture at a glance. Flipping through the pages, I can reflect on past events, plan future ones, and even make little notes or doodles that give my calendar character. There’s also a certain charm to seeing everything laid out in front of me—it’s more than just dates and times; it’s a tangible representation of my life and responsibilities. Yesterday, while at Sam’s Club, I found the perfect one. It has big squares, places to put notes, and it even came with stickers. My little girl heart leapt when I saw those stickers.

Isn’t it pretty?!

Do you change your bedding for the season? I do, and I find it refreshing to switch things up. Mr. Handsome bought me a beautiful duvet cover from Pottery Barn years ago, and I am still using it, as it never fails to bring a cozy vibe to our bedroom. I love to dress our bed with it this time of year, particularly when the chill in the air invites a layer of warmth and comfort. To complement the duvet, I mixed what I have already been using on our bed throughout the seasons, incorporating different textures and materials that reflect the transition from fall to winter. I love the mix of patterns and colors, which not only adds visual interest but also brings warmth and personality to the space, making it feel inviting and perfect for snuggling up.

And finally, you know those little visitors we have on our deck daily? Well, this is the result of them visiting the other day. It’s always a joy to watch them flit about, exploring every nook and cranny. Glad they could feast upon the pumpkin that Mr. Handsome and I grew this summer. Watching them enjoy the fruits of our labor reminds me of the beauty of nature.
