Happy December 1st! It’s officially my favorite time of year and I am so excited that the holiday season is finally here. Picking out the perfect presents for everyone in my life is always one of my favorite things about Christmas, so this year I decided to put together my first ever holiday gift guide!

November 2017 Favorites
I cannot believe it is already DECEMBER 2017! Where did the year go? I also can’t believe how little I have been writing on here lately. I always say that I never want this blog to become a chore for me, and lately I just haven’t been motivated to write. I feel like it’s really annoying to point out how long it has been in every post lately…so from now on I am going to stop acknowledging when it’s been a while haha. Unless it’s been like, a LONG while haha So anyway… with all that being said, here’s my favorite…

Decorating for Christmas
You may remember from my series of posts last year The 12 Days of Kaelamas that I absolutely LOVE Christmas 🎄 I won’t be doing that series again this year because I felt it would be a bit repetitive, but that doesn’t mean I won’t still be writing Christmasy posts for the rest of the year! Anyway, it should come as no surprise that we have already decorated our home for Christmas this year. If you think it’s too early for Christmas, please just know that I come from a family where our house typically looks something like this: So it’s practically in…

What I Got for Christmas
So in the “final” 12 Days of Kaelamas post I said I didn’t wanna write about what I got for Christmas…buuuuut I changed my mind haha. I received so many amazing gifts this year and I really wanted to do them justice, share them all and write about everything. So this is, I guess, the epilogue to the 12 Days of Kaelamas series – everything I got for Christmas! I divided it into a few categories to break it up a bit. My friends and family seriously spoiled me this year, I am so grateful and happy with all of…

What I Gave For Christmas
First of all, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Sorry about the delay in posts, my family has been in town the past few days and we’ve been running around like crazy hanging out with them and moving to our new home. But I hope that if you celebrate Christmas, you had a lovely time and maybe even got some fun gifts 😀 For my final post of the 12 Days of Kaelamas, I was really struggling to decide what to write about. I thought about doing a “what I got for Christmas” post, but I’m always afraid that comes off as kinda braggy and I…

How to Make it Feel Like Christmas in Florida
It can be hard to feel festive around Christmas when you live in a place where it’s only snowed 16 times this century. We probably won’t ever have a white Christmas here, but there are lots of ways to make it feel Christmasy without the snow! Today for the 12 Days of Kaelamas, I’m sharing how to make it feel Christmasy even when it’s 80 degrees out 😉 thanks to my manager for giving me the idea for this post hahaha 1. TONS of decorations Obviously one of the easiest ways to make it feel Christmasy is to…

Disney Yuletide Fantasy Tour Review
A note from future Kaela: this has unexpectedly turned into one of my most popular blog posts! I’ve gone back and updated some links from posts that I wrote after this so don’t be thrown off by the dates on everything. Hope you enjoy this Christmasy tour review! — Yesterday Chris and I got to do something really cool and fun, and VERY Christmasy, and I figured it would make a perfect addition to the 12 Days of Kaelamas 🙂 we did Walt Disney World’s Yuletide Fantasy Tour! Yuletide Fantasy is a tour that isn’t really talked about a lot. The…

Christmas Tree Inspiration
One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is Christmas trees. Someday I want a house in which I just have a different Christmas tree in every room. There are so many beautiful possibilities and fun things to decorate with!! I’ve been taking photos of some of my favorite trees at Walt Disney World for inspiration and also collecting pics of any cute ones I see on instagram or elsewhere. Maybe someday I’ll have all of these in my home… Epcot, entrance to World Showcase – decorated with flags and greetings from each country in World Showcase. Simple, yet classy with perfect themed ornaments! Classic…

Epcot Holidays Around the World 2016
Epcot is my favorite park on a good day, so I’m especially partial to it during the holidays. It’s by far the park with the most decorations imo – the decorating doesn’t stop at the front of the park, it continues into every country in World Showcase too! This year they also have many special holiday treats for the Holidays Around the World. Similar to the Food & Wine festival, we went around sampling lots of different things and I thought it would make a great post for the 12 Days of Kaelamas! The first thing we noticed was that there aren’t as…
