It’s no secret I love animals. And here at our house I try to do al I can so all the earthlings who visit are comfortable, fed and happy. We have a handful of bird feeders around for our flying friends and I’ve been learning so much about the species who come. It’s pretty awesome. And we also have a squirrel feeder so maybe the cuties will stop bombarding the birds spaces, lol. In any case, I leave special treats for them there. We had a box turtle hanging out on the side of our house for awhile but I’m not sure he’s there anymore. I welcome all animals and enjoy seeing them daily. @ashlieredmond was just talking about how we need to surround ourselves with beauty right now. And that’s exactly what I’m doing. Inviting these beautiful creatures to our property so I can continue to be filled with joy. I just love each and every one of them.

My friends over at Night Owl Paper Goods have launched their 2015 spring collection and there are so many great items, I had to share the news. From general cards to mother/father’s day cards and other stationery items, there is such a nice group to choose from this year. And they now have foil-stamped cards as well!

I personally buy a good chunk of my cards from these guys and I highly recommend you check them out. Being an eco-friendly company is a big plus for me. And with so many options and styles, they have something for everyone. Here are a few my faves from their new collection. Enjoy!

So Christmas is just around the corner and its time to start preparing for the holiday. Whether you are hosting or not, there is always something to do. This year I am having my family over for Christmas Eve and couldn’t be more excited. For years I dreamt of hosting this event and having us all together in my home. And now its finally coming true.

I am sure Christmas means a lot of different things to everyone, depending on your traditions, but to me it is all about spending time with your loved ones and making memories. Although I love giving gifts, that is just a bonus. I imagine a white covered landscape, a crisp breeze, a warm cozy home filled with festive tunes and smiles, and lots of love in the air. Oh, what a great night it will be. It’s the whole package of the holiday that makes me smile.

I took this photo days ago when we got some snow. Long Island hasn’t seen a storm yet so this is the best we’ve had. Even though its a little, it put me in the holiday spirit. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday!
