Winter Wonderland

Thank's for stopping by today!  If today is your first time visiting my blog, I'm honored to have you stop by, and if you are a regular, I am so excited to finally reveal my Holiday House Tour!

If you haven't checked out the homes on Jennifer Rizzo's Holiday House walk, be sure to stop by there first and appreciate the creativity and beauty of the season!  It's truly an inspiring tour!

Like most of the kids out there, mine have been caught up in the Frozen whirlwind.  From shirts, pj's and singing dolls to naming our kittens Anna and Elsa, my kids are pretty much obsessed.  So this year, I went with a Frozen themed Christmas, and decked my halls with tons of snow flakes!

  Since it is winter and the perfect time of year for snow and snowmen and all things icy and cold...

As you can see my style is pretty casual and comfortable.  I like to curl up on the sofa and binge watch Revenge and Blacklist after the kiddos are asleep.

Each year my girls pick out a new ornament for the tree.  We stick with the traditional white lights, but the ornament colors are a free for all.  We added some paper chains this year to tie in with the wintery white snowflakes.

I love how no two flakes are alike.  It was a lot of fun cutting each one out with my good friend Shalimar.

I strung cotton balls on white thread and tied them to a branch I found in the back yard.  I'd like to say this was an easy project but the truth is it took a while.

You really don't want to know about the incident with the ceiling fan and my three year old daughter... Let's just say I had to re-string about half of those cotton balls and there may have been tears involved. And wine...

My Ella Bella's third birthday party is this weekend. I didn't want to have to live with a ton of "kid party stuff"  all over my house, and since snow was our theme and it happened to tie in with her desire to have an Olaf party, I got pretty lucky this year.  I also found the snow decor to be pretty friendly on the wallet.  All of the snowflakes, paper chains and the snow branch mobile cost less then $10.  I hope you enjoyed some of the pictures of our Frozen Tundra {also known as our house}.  Don't forget to stop by later in the week for the "Snow Branch" Tutorial!  And remember to check out the amazing homes over on Jennifer Rizzo's blog!
