December 1st may not be till tomorrow, but I could not help to share my favorite Christmas decor that has been popping up on Pinterest.  If you're like me, you have already decorated around the house for Christmas, playing Christmas music, drinking hot coco, and planning fun dates to go look at festive Christmas lights. It is just too much fun not to! I love this season and all the joy it brings

Thanksgiving! The time to greet with family and eat till you hate yourself. Well thats my philosophy at least hahah.  This Thanksgiving was Mitchell and mines first as a married couple. I cant express enough how much I LOVE being married to him. It is what I am thankful for the most this year.  We started off the day with a good 5 mile run (sadly we didnt do the annual turkey trot this year) Another thing I am so grateful for is that we live so close to the beach that we can just run right over to the beach and get in a good run.  After we came back home and I stated to cook away. We went to his parents house that night and it was my first time cooking and bringing something for a dinner! Secretly I was really afraid that I would mess up the pumpkin bread and green bean casserole but it ended up all eaten and enjoyed! It was fun to go to the family dinner as a married couple and just feel so thankful for married and the family.  Like every year I have blogged I alw

The other day me and my best friends went to LA to look at art galleries. One thing I love to look at is art, I am not really into modern art but I love art that has a meaning and history to it.  We ended up parking way too far away which lead us to journey all the way to the Broad walking through tunnels and such. But of course it made of an adventure. If you are headed to to LA to go to museums I recommend the Board since it is free and the art is interesting. I am not really into modern art but if you are this is a great place.

All my decor is either DIY or from homegoods which helped saved a lot of money. I made sure all my wedding things were within budget and did not go over. I LOVE to save money haha, so my wedding was even more special because there was a lot of thought with beautiful detail. All the wood signs were cut and stained by the husband and his dad and then me, my sister in law, friend Olivia and sweet grandma in law wrote on all the boards. I am a very mono chromat
