Happy November!

Offbeat + Inspired

Hey, guys!  Happy November to you!

I can’t believe how fast this season is going by.  In an effort to be more present, I took a tiny step away from social media for a bit.  Sometimes I feel like the more time I spend on Instagram and blogging, the more inspired I feel; and other times, the more time I spend on the Internet, the more I get that ‘compare and despair’ feeling.  When I feel even an inkling of that anymore, I put the phone and the computer away and focus on being fully present — and there is power in that!

‘Tis the season of pretty, cozy things and warm spaces, and I had the best time staying up super late last night taking down our Halloween decor and putting up our Fall stuff.  I’m looking forward to sharing that soon.  🙂  Highland Yard Vintage has another show coming up in the next couple of weeks, and I can’t wait to see all of those beautiful, inspiring vignettes.  And of course my mom-in-law’s decor… that’s always a fun post!

We are just about to the one-year mark in our home and I still find myself loving it more and more every day.  I feel so blessed to be in the home that waited for us, and though the past year has had its fair share of struggles and heartache, it has been so wonderful to have a warm and cozy place to come home to every night.  To be together, with our little pup, eat dinner together, cozy up on the sofa together, cry together, and laugh together…  I will never be able to thank God enough for this past year in the cutest little 1,000 square foot house I’ve ever laid eyes on.  😉

I hope you all are having the best week as we ease our way into the Holiday season.  I’ll see you back here soon!
