Real Estate Stalking

I love when I visit someone's house and the interiors match the style of the owner. As in the case of this elegant home. Its contents are as stylist as the lady of the house herself. I was orinally fixated on the idea of the two dining room tables, which lend themselves to the intimate yet opulent feel of being in a 5 star restaurant. Once I toured the rest of the rooms, there were just so many gorgeous areas that I knew you would love it! Bon Weekend!!!

Christmas Morning Breakfast

Since I host Thanksgiving, Christmas becomes mainly about my husband and three children. We always have a special breakfast, after the gifts are opened. I usually make some kind of casserole for us to share. I search and search the internet for a new recipe weeks before Christmas morning. I like to set the table so that it looks merry and bright. I found this French Toast casserole that was labeled "THE BEST". I cannot wait to try it and see what my little elves think! Happy Cooking!!!

The Ultimate Christmas Wish List

If I was in charge of the North Pole, I would put each of these luxurious presents under YOUR tree. When all the shopping is done, it is nice to dream about what eye candy we would buy for ourselves. So sit back and relax, and imagine how you would style these beauties in your own wardrobe!!!
