Holiday gift ideas for Moms

I am not posting many GIFT guides this year, but I will do a few. 

For starters, I wanted to put together one for moms. You see, this year, I became a first-time mother....so, I know just how challenging motherhood can be.   Every so often it's nice to receive a little something new ....ya know.........like a gift!   What better place to-go for gifting to mom than Sur La Table ? Below are some of my favorite items over at Sur La Table for moms. 

Heck, or for anyone that loves to entertain or enjoy a nice hot chocolate at home.  Which gift would you buy your mama friend or your own mother?

 

Have a great weekend!!! 

P.S. on another note, I am currently working on a blog re-design, stay tuned!

Thanksgiving at My Home....

We had such a great Holiday weekend and 3 of us helped decorate while my guy did all the cooking...yes, ALL. He is such a great cook & wanted to do it all himself. I'm so thankful for him. 
 

I decided to incorporate some GOLD into this Holiday....and I knew the tablecloth we bought was way too stark white. 

So, we PAINTED gold dots all over it & it made the table look so much more interesting...what do you think?

How was your Thanksgiving??

Notice the Gold chisel glassware from ZGallerie?? They're amazing!

Entertaining in Gold...

Hello everyone!

I'm already thinking about the upcoming Holidays, Thanksgiving & Christmas. I love Holidays! First, the world (for the most part) gets to celebrate these important dates.... & two, we get to DECORATE our homes for entertaining! 
Dinner parties can be so much fun...!

For myself, I prefer to keep the guest list at about 5-6 people at my place - just feels more intimate.  

What about you.. do you prefer bigger parties??

Speaking of parties...Since Gold is so IN this year, I was thinking it would be ideal to pick some of my favorite party pieces & revolve it around the color GOLD!  Below are all my picks if you're looking to spruce up your dining table for a party! Enjoy!

Any of you planning on having a party at home this year for the Holidays??
