When I was in my 20's, 30's and even my early 40's losing weight was easy. I'd just have to cut back on some of my favorite foods that weren't healthy and I'd lose the weight.

White Lace Cottage Christmas Home Tour
I'm so happy that you could join me today on my holiday home tour! Let's start out in the living room. I don't have a tree in our living room this year, instead I've added that fresh tree topper. To keep it fresh I tucked a foam inside of the bucket, and added water. My centerpiece on my table is from Lynch Creek Farm. Isn't it beautiful! I placed it inside of this old tote for a rustic look. I always keep a few of my boxwood wreaths out in the this room. But I added one to my china cabinet door. The gift wrapping is staged, but honestly I wrap my gifts where ever I can.

I love the ... View Post
