Organizing the pantry

So, after some intensive Pinterest stalking, I decided to embark on a new organization strategy for my pantry. I settled on a bin system.

Now it just looks like I have a million boring boxes in my pantry.

Christmas!

When we got married, my husband told me I could add a Christmas tree for every year we've been married. At six trees this year, I think Brady is starting to regret it!

I tweaked the themes this year- adding leopard to the big living room tree, making our dining room tree and chandelier peacock theme, and adding a new Wizard of Oz tree. I also made the most ridiculous enormous wreath.

Elf Arrival Breakfast

Our Elf, Holly Jingle made her first appearance this year! I've been crazy excited about this since, um, I was pregnant. It was so fun to surprise Avery with a North Pole breakfast-Santa sent her a letter introducing her elf and giving her a soft elf to sleep with when Holly is up to elf mischief ;)

The night of Thanksgiving, I put Avery to bed, decorated the entire house for Christmas and made a fake snow trail from her bedroom to the North Pole Breakfast. She was so excited to see the fake snow, but wasn't so excited about my decorations! Oh we'll, you can't win them all!

Home Tour

I'm linking up with Kelly's Korner for her home tour. This is my daughter Avery's room. I love all things Parisian, so her room is all poodles, Eiffel Towers, and Damask! I went with a pink, black and white theme and she really likes it.

(A note about the crib tent- Avery is an escape artist, so this is our security measure until our pool fence is completed.)

Avery has a large dresser full of Madame Alexander dolls, some from my childhood and some she has received as gifts.

Some Recent Events

I've had a super busy few months, and some really fun events. A fashion show, charity tea, carnival and more!
