I’m sharing a Life Lately post, except that I’m sooo behind on life lately posts and feel overwhelmed by it that I’m only sharing 12 photos. I’m gonna get back on track on this though because I love sharing these posts.

So last weekend we had our annual holiday party! It was pouring rain so it was a little different this year and we had to move everything inside (usually it’s a mix of inside and out) but it was still a blast! I wore this red dress! It comes in black, too.

Our front door for the holidays this year. We normally have a huge blow up flamingo dressed up for the party in our pool, but since it was raining I thought these little guys might be festive. Silly, but fun. My orange magnolia wreath is my new favorite wreath! 

We spent Thanksgiving on Harbour Island at Coral House and had such an amazing week. Wish I could be there more. We had dinner at the Dunmore.

Hung out with turkeys.

Our new Weezie Towels in one of the guest bathrooms.

In our Marysia Swim!

I brought along my new white ruffle dress!

Hit 12 years of marriage to this guy. 

After Harbour Island we surprised the kids with Disney World. They’re both November birthdays so it was a fun surprise. It was all decorated for Christmas and so magical.

It’s the season for plaid! Love this new puff sleeve blouse.

The new Lake Pajamas store opened in Charleston and you all know they’re my favorite! How adorable is this sleep dress? I love the sleeves!

Aren’t Hanna’s piped pajamas adorable, too?!

To me, Cyber Monday is like that bonus extension of a sale that got away from you. You know what I mean? When you never get around to shopping the sale, kick yourself for it, and then see that they extended it one more day. It’s Monday so you’re likely back in your routine and aren’t as distracted as you were over the holiday weekend, and you can actually take the time to check it all out. It’s like a Christmas gift. I’m being so serious you guys. This happens to me every year. I LOVE Cyber Monday. So, naturally I’m highlighting my favorite sale finds and rounding up the best sales with some more finds from each!
