This essay felt like a trip down memory lane. Your in-law’s house sounds like some of the houses I remember as a kid in the Midwest. My childhood home was somewhere in the middle, although my mom laughs at me, because I was the decorating fanatic as a kid. The day after Thanksgiving I’d lug my mom’s 8 (!) huge boxes of decorations from the basement, forcing her to decorate. These days I’m with you - just enough twinkle lights and boughs (but yes, 2 trees) to feel magical, but easy enough to pack away in under an hour. ❤️

Wow, your mother in laws decorating sounds like #goals.

I love your decor in your RV, so twinkly and classy! Those trees with the candles 😍

A splendid round up of recipes, and great lives I am looking forward to catching up on!

Oh yes, my favorites this year are of course the mushroom ravioli and the blueberry pie cookies - I keep balls of that dough in my freezer for a quick treat with which I use my fig filling. I have some bananas I can’t wait to put in your snacking cake.
