Holiday Home Tour

-
Christmas is definitely my favorite hzoliday of them all.  I love all the yummy treats, sparkling lights, gift giving, music and movies.  But my most favorite part has to be the decorations!  Every year it seems that my collection of decor grows a bit more and my husband can definitely attest to it.  Poor guy always has to deal with lugging my many many totes and boxes of things down from storage in the attic.  (and boy does he LOVE that...not.)  I know I'm not the only one that loves decorating for Christmas so I thought I'd share our home this year in my blog.  There were just too many cute things to share in one Instagram or Facebook post! 

You'd think that being 8 months round and pregnant would slow this mama down with the decor, or maybe just avoid it altogether, and it probably should have...but nevertheless, day after Thanksgiving per usual, it all went up. 

 





I adore this little wagon with pretend gifts.  





Another fun favorite of mine is this giant snow globe.  


 


As soon as I got the tree decorated the first time I realized that the top strand of lights were out and after messing with them for a couple of days and not getting them to flick back on, I undecorated and redecorated the top of the tree again. Ugh.  That was definitely not fun being 8 months pregnant.  haha!  Tucker's favorite part of Christmas decorating is the train that goes under the tree.  I mean, what kid wouldn't love that?








 We don't have a fireplace or mantel to hang stockings on so I was having a hard time deciding where to hang them this year.  Under these floating shelves seemed like the best place for them.  When Christmas Eve rolls around, the little dresser will provide a great place for Santa's cookies and milk to sit. 


 This year I added this sweet little wooden letter to the north pole 




There you have it folks!  A Danielson holiday home tour.  I hope everyone has fun decorating their own home and has a wonderful holiday season!

Face Mask Sewing Tutorial

Hi everyone! With the recent Coronavirus pandemic, I have enlisted myself in sewing masks for medical professionals in need.  I have had some people ask me what pattern I'm using and to be honest, I cannot find the original one I started with and I have adapted it a bit as I went along.  I have tried a variety of different patterns and methods, but I have found my favorite to be the one I'm about to share with you.  It does take a bit more time than some other ways, but I think it's the most effective.  Now I'm NOT a medical professional, but based on what I've been reading about the needs, this method seems to be best.  The top 3 things that I've come to find that are important for a good mask are: 1. 100% cotton with at least 2 layers 2. pocket for N95 filter 3. ties I made a lot of masks with elastic and I'm sure they are helpful too.  However, everyone's heads and faces are different sizes and shapes so I think the ties are a better way so...

One Year Later...

               It's hard to believe that it has already been a whole year since we left South Florida and moved into our St. Augustine home. Reflecting on the day we left, I can still feel the rush of emotions I experienced in that moment.  Anxiety, sadness, anticipation...but ultimately grief.  While every one of our moves have been difficult in their own way (and there have been many of them) this one hit just a little differently than the others.  I believe that there are some seasons in life that when you look back on them, you just feel joy.  Not that it wasn't without its struggles, but it was a season that I felt an overall sense of peace within my soul. And the feeling of grief and memories of peace are what I struggled to overcome most in this last year.   For the most part, I went into autopilot once we arrived in our new home. Unpack, organize, decorate, establish doctors and dentists a...

A Bit of Holiday Cheer

Tucker is 6 weeks old today! I cannot believe how fast the time is flying.  I truly thought that I would be completely bored out of my mind during maternity leave, but I can honestly say that I'm quite enjoying myself.  Granted, there are some days where I am a bit bored and feel like I need to be doing something, but then Tucker nicely reminds me "hello! I need to be fed/changed/cuddled/played with".  I'm not so bored after all. :)  My last post I spoke a bit about my struggles during the first few weeks.  Many people told me that the first month is the most difficult and that it usually gets a lot easier after that.  Well thankfully that was true for me.  Tucker is breastfeeding easily now and I am back to my normal, busy self.  Thank goodness!  I've also gotten down to 3 lbs from my pre-pregnancy body and can now starting getting more active!  I haven't broken out the Zumba yet, but I am really excited to.  I've also been keepi...
