I am linking up with Shay and Erika today to share with you the coziest spot in my house. I actually shared my favorite cozy spot with you during Christmas. It's my bedroom! It is even cozier with the Christmas decorations in it, but will continue even after they are removed. Take a look at my cozy spot!

I wanted to share part of my Holiday home tour with you. I’m starting off in my favorite space, my bedroom! It is just the coziest spot, and I can’t wait to just lay by the light of the tree after a long work day. My Nutcrackers are gifted to me by my grandma, and my collection keeps growing.  This reindeer came from Kirkland’s and I love how it looks on my door!   I can’t take credit for this, my mom does all the magic on the trees.   This is on my dresser, and the snowflake candle holder is from Wal-Mart. The taller ones are from Kirkland’s, and Injust have battery operated votives in there. I have a Christmas book that I have been reading in a picture easel as well.   This is my inspiration corner. This is where I have my devotional, Bible, and wax warmer on there. The canvas is lighted, and I got it through a company that comes and sets up a display at work.  This is my favorite spot in my house. I will be back to show you ...

I was looking for something fun to add to my room to brighten it up a bit. I found this tutorial on Pinterest, and finally decided to try it. The best part? It was so simple! All you need is an 8x10 picture frame, scrapbook paper, and a vis a vis marker. All I did was use the template in the frame to cut the size of my scrapbook paper. I placed it inside the frame, applied the back, and flipped it over. I took the vis a vis marker and wrote a message on the glass. I like that marker because it lasts, and I can just wash it off with some Windex. I had this green paper in mine frame for a while, but now that the holidays are here, I swapped it out for some gold sparkly paper. This is simple right? If you are looking for some last minute gifts, this is a great idea!

My mom is the creative genius in our family. She does all the decorating around the house. She has a great eye for colors, and how things should look. I only hope that when I get a place of my own I can decorate my home as well as she can! I wanted to show you our decorations, in case you haven't started to put yours up yet! We always have several trees. There is one in our upstairs living room, one downstairs, and one in my room. This year, my mom got a tree and added all of her Wendell August ornaments to it as well. All of them are decorated beautifully, and match to the decor in the particular room. There is something so pretty about a nicely decorated mantle. We have a few in our house, so I wanted to show you those as well! My mom collects snowmen, and considering we have long winters these guys stay up long after the decorations have been put away! Let's take a minute to step outside into our entryway. How stinking cute is that snow-woman? I can't stand th...

I absolutely love walking into a room and it smells "homey." To me, it makes your home even more personal. One way I scent my home is by using wax melts and a warmer. Picking out the right scent can be tough. Some are too strong and not realistic. The Glade Wax Melts are wonderful. *I'm a BzzAgent, and was sent coupons to use for this review.* These Glade Wax melts come in a package of 8 cubes.. The package has a slim design, so it won't take up much space for storage. Using my coupon I chose the scent Apple Cinnamon. The scent is a perfect mix of you guessed it, apples and cinnamon! It is not over powering, and does not give me a headache. If you did not have a wax warmer, Glade has those available to purchase as well. They also have a variety of scents to choose from. Glade wax on the left, Better Homes and Gardens wax on right. These melt beautifully! I turn my warmer on and within minutes I can smell the scent. Even when the warmer is turned off, and I...
