Each holiday season, I change up the seasonal decor depending on my mood. I did an all white Christmas one year, a Swedish Christmas another year with lots of red and straw decorations, and last year was a Whoville Christmas with bright neon colors. This year, I wanted a 1950's look with lots of tinsel, glitter, and pastels.

To celebrate Kyle’s birthday, we took a weekend trip up north to stay at the Chateau Chantal Winery & Inn and for the Mac’n’Cheese Bake-Off. The bake-off involves the Old Mission Peninsula wineries to pair a selection of their wines with a gourmet mac’n’cheese made for the competition by local restaurants.
As the holidays move in and time becomes harder and harder to schedule with friends due to family functions, we decided to throw a Holiday Harvest Dinner Party. With a seasonal menu and local wines, we snacked and mingled and it really started feeling like the holidays. I love making invites, usually from scrapbook supplies. But that gets so time consuming and expensive. I really wanted the Martha Stewart scrapbook app for my iPad but didn't want to pay for it. Then, as I was looking for apps to use in my teaching, I came across PicCollage. Love it - and it's free! Great for putting together Polyvore-type outfit boards AND for making cute invites!

About LizI love teaching. I do. But since I started teaching four years ago, it's defined my entire life. What did I do before I became a teacher? I shopped, cooked, decorated, played dress-up, and went out on the town. And I'm reclaiming that past and all-too-infrequent-in-the-present life of mine! Good Reads* Anthromollogies
