Do we really need snow to feel like Christmas? 🎄✨ Tell me,
are you team White Christmas or Green Christmas?
Growing up in the Midwest, I’ve always been a white Christmas kind of gal. But it turns out I’m also a sucker for holiday decor that blends beautifully into the natural landscape.
We recently visited @filoliestate to see the holiday lights, and I was surprised to find myself just as taken with the decorations during the day as I was at night.
There’s something so magical about the way Filoli embraces California’s natural beauty while bringing the Christmas spirit to life. Who says you need snow to have a little holiday magic? #christmasdecor #holidaydecorations #holidaysatfiloli

Comment “XMAS” and I’ll DM you the link to these vintage-looking ornaments I found at Target!
Someone must have known I had a whole lot of old ornaments that needed replacing! 😂🎄
Now, fingers crossed these beauties make it through the holidays in one piece. It’s Spud’s first Christmas, so we’ll see how that goes! 🐾😂
I also have them linked on my LTK so you can grab them online, too! #nostalgicchristmas #ornaments #targetfinds

Christmas cookies have some serious competition! 🎄🍬
If I’m being honest, I’ve always been more of a Christmas candy girl, and this pecan English toffee is one of my absolute favorites!
The recipe came from my grandpa, who made it every Christmas. Now I get to carry on the tradition, and that makes it even sweeter. ❤️
I also make his famous pecan caramels, but that’s one family recipe I’m keeping under wraps. Trust me, they’re THAT good! 😂
But this toffee recipe? I’m happy to share!
Comment “TOFFEE” and I’ll DM you the recipe so you can make a batch of your own this Christmas! 🎁 #englishtoffee #christmasrecipes #easyrecipe #toffeerecipe

If you’re looking for that nostalgic ’90s Christmas glow but don’t want the incandescent electric bill, these are the lights you need! 🎄✨ Comment “LIGHTS” and I’ll DM you the link!
I seriously cannot believe how close these LEDs look to my old incandescent lights. I can barely tell the difference!
And trust me, don’t wait too long to grab some. I have a feeling they’re going to sell out, mostly because I’m about to buy them all myself. 😂 #90schristmas #christmaslights #nostalgia #christmasfinds #christmasdecor

These pecan snowball cookies came straight from my grandma’s old recipe box, and they’re still one of my favorite cookies to make every Christmas.
They’re buttery, nutty, covered in powdered sugar, and best of all, made with only five ingredients.
Comment SNOWBALL and I’ll DM you the full recipe! I also have it linked in my bio.

This Cranberry Pomegranate Spritz is probably my favorite holiday cocktail. It’s light, festive, and ridiculously easy to make.
I love that you can make it as spirited, or as light, as you like by adjusting the Prosecco-to-juice ratio.
Comment “SPRITZ” and I will DM you the full recipe. I also have it in the link in my bio.

Comment “Arches” and I’ll DM you the link to my blog post with the full tutorial and supply list!
One of my favorite things about these DIY PVC arches is that we can use them for more than one holiday! 🎄 We we put these up for Halloween in early October, then swap out the spooky decorations for Christmas lights, and just like that, our walkway becomes our very own Candy Cane Lane! ❤️🤍
I also have the link to the blog post in my bio.
Are you ready for the holidays?

Happy Halloween! 🎃👻 Here are a few photos and clips from this year’s Halloween tunnel festivities!
I hope y’all had a fantastic evening filled with lots of tricks and treats!
I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty darn excited about setting the clock back and getting that extra hour of sleep tonight! This mama is tired. #halloween2026

Sorry, not sorry! 😂 When you’re friends with one of the best realtors around, @maureen.uram.realtor, sometimes you just have to have a little fun!
And if you know anything about Bay Area real estate, you know finding anything under half a million dollars is practically impossible. So naturally, we decided to put our Halloween shack on the market. 🏚️😂
Hey, in this market, you never know! #justforfun #diyhalloweendecorations #halloweentunnel #bayarearealestate #funny

I think my crows may be a bit entitled. 😂
I’d heard all these stories about crows bringing people gifts and doing nice things for them. Well, mine just rip plugs of grass out of my lawn if I don’t feed them on time.
How did I end up with such demanding crows? Mine are just little shits. 😂🐦⬛ #crows #crowsofinstagram #angrycrows #omg
