empty walls and ideas.

i love january.

it's a fresh start for so many things.

it's rejuvenating, rewarding, and relaxing after the holidays.

however, i have one {minor} issue with january....

i don't know how to decorate my home.

taking down the christmas decorations is a hassle, but always feels so good.

after doing so, my house feels quite empty.

i no longer live in a place with snow, so i can't do snowmen.

january is in the winter time. but decorating with snowflakes just doesn't feel right,

when i look out my window to find large palm trees, green grass and sunshine.

any suggestions?

i've raided pinterest and several magazines.

do i get a head start on valentines? 

{i've never been a huge valentines-hearts-roses person}

or do i embrace the "emptiness" of my home?

i thought i would see what you had to say.

i'm hoping i'm not the only one out there who feels this way.

p.s. dance started back up yesterday.

i can barely walk.

it's funny how long it takes to get into shape,

yet how fast you can fall out of shape.

{funny how that works.}
