Welcome to my first Friday Favorites of 2016.  Yes, my first Friday Favorites and I am late getting this out!  Most of my favorite picks come from Target and HomeGoods this week.

Our home feels so stark since we took all of the Christmas decorations down.  I think everyone feels this way once the Christmas decorations are packed away and the twinkling lights are gone.  I would like to have twinkling lights up year round if I could get away with it.

Our front door was so bare and I love putting different wreaths up but wasn’t ready to put my olive branch wreath back up just yet.  I wanted something a little different than the green since we have had the pine wreath up for over a month.  I wanted something a little lighter and brighter and I found it at HomeGoods.

I think this adds just the right amount of lightness that I was looking for.

I am sharing this pillow that my son bought me for Christmas.

I adore this little black and gold pillow by Nate Berkus at Target.  It is now on clearance for a little over $5.00 for in store purchase only.  It adds the right amount of sparkle to my Home Office.  Thanks BK!

The next Friday Favorite is another Christmas gift, this one is from my hubby.  It is another fabulous find from Target.

I told my guys they could walk into Target and buy anything in there and I would love it!  This is the Threshold Desktop Chalk and Cork Easel.  My hubby also picked up the little gold Owl pushpins from Target too. I think it looks great on my desk.

The last thing I am sharing is our framed Christmas Card.

Every year once Christmas is over I frame our Family Christmas Card.  This year was the easiest card ever!  Usually I have to force the boys to take our annual photo and believe me it is not easy.  Once I get them all together it takes about another hour to get one decent photo where everyone is looking and all eyes are open. When it is all said and done someone is usually upset with someone  else… but not this year.  I snapped this photo of the boys while we were at a wedding and they were watching the beautiful bride walk down the aisle.

I have all of the framed Christmas cards since we starting doing this 12 years ago when the Gman was born.

I knew this was the photo I was going to use and everyone was happy.  I used Pear Tree Greetings this year for our cards and could not have been happier!

I hope you enjoyed this week’s Friday Favorites.  Have a great weekend.

Until Next Time,
