It’s time for my Welcome Home Saturday – Holiday 2021 Edition! In case you don’t know what that means – I am a guest blogger today!

I guess you might possibly need a little more explanation – am I right??

I have a group of blogging friends who do a post every week called ‘Welcome Home Saturday’.

This post is basically a roundup of their own favorite posts from the past (could be a long time ago or could even be that same week!). And they include a guest blogger every week!

How fun is that? So now you understand when I tell you – I am that guest blogger today ;).

The link to each of their favorite posts from this week is at the bottom of this post so be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom to see what they are!

And I want to give a huge shoutout to my blogging friend Kelly from The Tattered Pew for including me in this amazing group every season! Such a fun way to meet new people ;).

If you are new to my website – be sure to go to my ‘About Me’ page to learn a little bit more about me! It would also make me one happy blogger if you decide you like what you see and subscribe to my email list!

In a rush?

Christmas Home

I have pretty much shown every holiday decorated space in my house at this point.

And if I haven’t – well I kinda think at this point – I probably will not be showing you 😂.

You see – I am actually in Yosemite National Park as this post is being published.

Enjoying some pre-Christmas Eve rush R&R with my husband (but more on that later!).

So if you are actually looking for inspo still or maybe just enjoying scrolling and planning on saving an idea or two for next year – here’s where you can find all my Christmas decor posts from this year:

A Christmas Kitchen

Our Christmas Bedrooms

A Classy Christmas Home Tour

Christmas Gifts

Welp – it’s kinda getting down to the wire – isn’t it??

Just when I think I am done with my holiday shopping – I remember WAIT! I totally forgot about so and so!

OH AND ALSO – I asked my two daughters for help writing my twenty something gift ideas blog post back in NOVEMBER.

My oldest finally sent me ideas this weekend 👍🏻.

So needless to say – this feels similar to when the Santa letter got changed on December 20th and I just wanted so bad to keep the magic alive with my kids when they were little ;0.

Nonetheless – here are a few items she suggested (and for reference – she is 26 1/2 years old ;)):

Christmas Recipes

I have published quite a few holiday recipes this season as well as participated in some amazing recipe hops and roundups!

There are so many delicious dishes for you to choose from!!

Including my all time favorite holiday treat – my mom’s fudge recipe – which I included the link for in the Welcome Home Saturday bunch!

Another one of my holiday faves is my ginger snap cookie recipe – just yum!!

Christmas Travel

I am actually currently traveling as this post is being published!!

We had an incredible Christmas market trip to Germany planned for these last two weeks. But when the neverending pandemic seemed to be hitting that country again – we decided to cancel that trip after all…

But we are up in Yosemite National Park having a very peaceful and relaxing time!!

And not worrying about catching any virus on a train I might add…

Nonetheless – I have published some pretty amazing European Christmas itineraries for you to pin, put on your bucket list, or start planning for the 2022 holiday season!!!

You can read all about our London at Christmas vacation here.

Or our three December days in Vienna in this post!

And lastly (for now anyway) – a festive December itinerary for France can be read in this post!

Well I guess that pretty much sums up everything I have worked on here on the blog this past holiday season! I hope you found my Welcome Home Saturday – Holiday 2021 Edition post entertaining, inspiring, and helpful as you finish up the rest of this Christmas month!!

Don’t forget to keep scrolling to the bottom of this post to see what my blogging friends loved this week as well ;).
