Family + Design + Life
It’s the little things, a quiet morning with a cup of coffee. Tom is at dropoff with the girls and I get a moment at the house all to myself! Soon Baby “B” will be here and life will look a whole lot different. Breathe.

With our life-changing news of baby #3, we decided to stay home this Christmas just the 4 of us and enjoy a quiet time together. The house was cozy, and we ate a lot! I baked for weeks leading up to the big day mostly cookies (and I’m by no means a baker) total sugar cravings! The kids have enjoyed my slight sugar addiction, especially frozen cocoa!
We visited some of our favorite spots like Palma Coffee, Florence & the Spice Boys, and Wild Child (St. Pete) over break. Along with trying some new places like Tzeva located in Art Ovation and PigFish at Calusa Brewing their Fish Sandwich only served on Wednesday was out of this world paired with a side of malt vinegar and sea salt potatoes! If you follow me on Instagram you know my love for food and lots of stories of it!
So all in all though Christmas Vacation in Florida looked very different than our loud, crazy days back in NJ we made the best of this year and Facetime helps!
There was no option, but to transform this fireplace in time for the holiday and our 1st Christmas at Four Palms! My sister and her crew are visiting for the 1st time this December and not to mention Santa needs a beautiful fireplace to come down! My lovely husband worked his magic as I dictated what I envisioned. So here it is! I’m overall very happy with it. What do you think?
Fun fact, the previous marble mantel weighed 4,000 lbs when weighed by the recycling center.
