One of the trends we are going to see in 2019 is Hygge trend. So we put together this pop-up area for presentations and meetings and also so we can hang out. 🙂

Candle submission that I designed with the team.

Good morning my tired but happy girls!

Belgium waffles & bacon quiche for breakfast 

Morning activity: Making bath bombs…

These are the dreamcatchers the girls made! They did a wonderful job!

Chloe’s dreamcatcher

The guests left around 12:30 and Chloe wished they could stay for another night… It was a sweet little party. Happy birthday my daughter!

Making dream catchers…

Snacks for the movies!

Watching “Bend it like Beckham” through a projector

Lights out at 11:30 p.m… heard giggles and laughter until past 1 a.m… Sweet dream…

I smashed the cake to her face and she loved it! lol

For dinner I made penne alls vodka, 

& Roasted butternut squash salad with apple and cranberry vinaigrette (my fav!)

My happy guests.:)

I made blanket tent in the basement for Chloe and her guests to sleep.

Matching sleepers for the guests

Cozy fire pit 🙂

Fluffy sleep masks

DIY Dreamcatcher Station

I love how it turned out…despite the small hiccup when  I fell off a chair while putting the fairy lights and had a minor concussion… but it’s all good now. 🙂 Oh…the things I do…

I’m planning Chloe’s 11th birthday (yay!) and the theme she chose this year is “sleepover”. So I came up with dreamcatcher as an inspiration to design the invitation and decorate the house.

Here’s what I cooked up today:

Mushroom with caramelized shallots and fresh thyme, recipe here This was my favorite! It had so much flavor and so easy to make.

Cranberry sauce

Stuffing, gravy, roasted beet & arugula salad and sauteéd green beans.

My sister in-law brought mashed potatoes, yam and blueberry pie. 🙂

Here’s my 20 lbs turkey used WS Fruit & spice liquid brine this time

Cousins love

Let’s feast!

We are back to hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year and it will be a nice and intimate dining for 9 people. Can’t wait!
