Christmas Countdown


Only 6 days to go.
I haven't bought any presents for Mr. A yet.
We've only bought gifts for the little ones.

This has been a different year.
It seems that all I do lately is work, work, work.
Projects and more projects seem to be coming my way.

I had to decide to get the Christmas tree out and decorate it or to keep my sanity.
I like my sanity. I respect it.
I am okay with only having some beautiful antique silver balls and snowflakes out,
and a couple of yellow and red poinsettias around the house.
I'm okay with recognizing that I am not superwoman
and that I can only do so much.
This year, Christmas will be simple,
spent with the people that mean everything in the world to me.

So...my decor is very different this year. 
For some reason I went for smaller decorations, 
like the ones below from Cox & Cox
and very few of them.
The Christmas spirit...is in my heart.







May your week be as wonderful as you wish it to be.
Besos,

  4. Simplicity always rings loudly in my home too. We do have a tree, but I keep it simple other than that. Funny you mention Superwoman. I have lots of leather band bracelets that I wear and someone asked about them...I said that they are my Superwoman bands! I feel like my plate is always full, yet I like it all so finding the balance is a daily task. Here's to a wonderful holiday season for you. I love your touches to your home. XOXO.
