Great great room! Love the wall color and organizational (is that a word?) cubbies etc...
I'd love to own this cute little wrapping paper organizer.

So I begin every holiday season with the good intention of wrapping beautiful presents to go under my Christmas tree...then life intervenes, and I find myself wrapping gifts in dollar store paper, covered in tape and MAYBE a bow. They usually look awful...of course the boys don't care, but for some reason I do.
My mom is the QUEEN of beautiful Christmases...her home is always so beautiful and warm. The tree is immaculate yet 'touchable', and her gift wrapping is so pretty. You just want to sit in front of her tree at nights with a cup of hot cocoa and just gaze at it.
I will do better this year, not because I feel like I HAVE to, but because I really want to. It gets me so excited, and I love to see how excited the boys get when they see me decorating the house and we have Christmas music quietly playing in the background. We're creating memories for our children, and I hope they are as wonderful as the ones I'm so fond of from my childhood.

That is a great wrapping paper organizer! It was so so so wonderful to see you! I love Christmas time (minus the cold) and after reading this post, I just can't help but feel like I totally want to be in your home enjoying all the festivities. :) Good luck with all your good intentions!
Mom really spoiled us with awesome christmas'! I try to replicate what she has done and it always looks a little to cheesy..my plan is to just put on the christmas music and enjoy the hot chocolate and putting on the decorations!
