Five On Friday

Happy Friday! Today I'm linking up with Leslie from A Blonde Ambition  for confessional Friday and the girls for Five on Friday.

-ONE-
We normally put our tree up after Thanksgiving and since we have been married we have never decorated earlier. This year we went ahead and started to decorate!! I know people have their pet peeves about this, but we are going out of town for 10 days between now and Christmas, so I want to enjoy my decorations for as long as I can. I
 love the feeling in my home when it's dark and the tree lights are shining. There is still something so magical about this time of year to me!

-TWO-
I set a goal for myself to work out at least 15 times in the month of November. Well it wasn't really going well until this week!!! I have managed to take a Pure Barre Class or go to the gym Every. Single. Day this week!! Woohoo! I guess knowing I'll be in a bathing suit in less than 2 weeks lights a fire to get moving. : ) 

-THREE-
My husband and I worked on this table for the last week and I am in LOVE with the way it turned out! Our dining room has been empty for a very long time and I'm so excited to finally see it with a table! I know this table will be special for years to come just knowing that we worked on it together and laughed so much during the process.

-FOUR-
This has got to be my favorite meal lately!! This week makes the third time I have made this chili recipe!! It is Whole30 and Paleo approved!

-FIVE-
I had pictures taken, ordered and received my Christmas cards! I'm going to wait until at least the 1st of December to mail them out, but feeling oh so productive!

  2. I used to be very ticked when people decorated before thanksgiving, but now I don't hate it as much considering we will be out of town a lot as well! I was thinking about starting early!

    Also, The table looks great!

  5. I always have followed the rule of not decorating until after Christmas, but this year I have been dying to pull out the Christmas stuff earlier than usual!
