The celebration continues at home as we enjoy a few more days with family. Yes, I ate a few too many gingerbread cookies, but I have also been on a some gym workout dates with my husband, which keep things interesting.
Today, I am sharing delicious mocktails recipes to enjoy, because alcohol-free should not mean boring. Stay healthy, work hard, be kind …. these are my New Year wants.

Fresh and dried spices are plentiful in my mom’s kitchen. In my home, I carry on the tradition with the fresh natural scents of the holidays. Are you looking to fill your home with the sweet fragrance of the holiday season without the candles? The smell of cloves and oranges smells heavenly. It seems the cloves help preserve the orange as it dries and acts as an anti-microbial.
Pomanders make a lovely holiday decoration and can last up to a year if they dry out without getting moldy.
To make a pomander you will need a toothpick, orange, lemon or other firm citrus, stemmed cloves. Decide on an pattern. Poke a hole with the tooth pick and insert stemmed clove. For quick even drying, add orrisroot in reasealable plastic bag, shake until orange is coated.
A blue and white porcelain bowl is classic and colorful. The kitchen smells amazing. I also made pomanders for the front door hall to greet holiday guest.
I hope you try this easy DIY on how to make your home smell amazing for the holidays.

Removable Peel & Stick Wallpaper is now more beautiful. These three projects are sure to get you inspired.
Framed sections of wallpaper are a great idea that is cost saving and movable when it’s time to find another apartment.
Because some times you want just a little wallpaper, decorate a small section of a closet to give it some wow factor. Diana Elizabeth’s tiny closet reveal is efficient and stylish.
Below are some favorite sources to help you get started.

Happy Monday.
The Hudson Valley is beautiful! I love the romance of living in the country. Crisp air, apples orchards, pumpkin fields and corn maze are everywhere.
Enjoying walks on the Appalachian trail with my husband… hand in hand.
I’m loving the chunky sweaters, plaids and layers ……… flower prints, lace and tweed…so romantic …. The extra long coat, yes please.
Now, more than ever, take good care of myself.
It could be as simple as a cup of tea …. getting a manicure instead of gardening more.
Or just stopping to look at the birds and listen to the wind.
Wishing you a wonderful week ahead.

Hello October!
Fall arrived with a few changes at home. We sent our youngest off to college. Thankful for the pups keeping me company.
My sons are spending more time at home and we are enjoying fresh cider and warm donuts …. the farm is a 20 minute walk from home.
Next month, it will be three years we closed on the house. We are enjoying the house making memories at home and taking on a few projects. The blog posts have been few as I have not been feeling well, but happy to be back on the mend.
Here is a look back to our family Halloween table.

Happy Monday!
Last week was busy and the weekend was crazy. A walk in nature is always refreshing for me. I really need to revamp my fitness routine ….. okay I don’t really have one, do you?
A few miles of hiking …. it felt like a few miles….. but really it was 1,600 steps. My legs are tired today, but it feels good……Hours outdoor made my skin feel dirty and dull, too. A long shower and products from my favorite skin and makeup line Beauty Counter had me refreshed and glowing ……. ready for a new week.
Kicking of the week with a five minute face routine…beauty products that are “clean” and “safe. “
