Christmas Road Trip

ROAD TRIP! We are currently driving in the car on our way to my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA (with donut holes and almond milk lattes on hand). Unfortunately, I only get to see my family about twice a year so I really treasure the Christmas trip home. We have a few family Christmas traditions that I always look forward to (like eating french fried butterfly shrimp on Christmas Eve-YUM!) and my Mom is the original Martha Stewart when it comes to Christmas decor. She’s the kind of lady that stores a separate stash of throw pillows that only match her holiday scheme. She’s definitely where I got my own personal brand of crazy when it comes to decor…

I’ve really been looking forward to laughs with my family, a little R + R, and a few days off from DIYing (as much as I love it). I even got a shellac mani since I knew I wouldn’t be going near spray paint for a few days and it feels nice to have the hands of a proper lady instead of a hobo digging near a construction site.

Here’s a few iphone photos of what Christmas has looked like at our house so far this year:

We were all dressed up for the A Beautiful Mess Christmas party- lots of good food, friends, and fun. Also, I can’t even begin to say how much I love that light up marquee sign. Totally obsessed.

Have a wonderful upcoming week wherever you are!
