Bluebonnet Porch

My 2019 Goals!

Happy New Year’s Eve! I am super excited for a “fresh start” this new year. In 2018, I started Bluebonnet Porch and am hoping to grow it a ton in the new year! I don’t necessarily like to make resolutions for the new year but rather set goals. Of course I want to do the typical things like eat healthier and workout more, but without specific measurable goals, I won’t accomplish anything. A lot of my goals are wellness focused and meant to create a lower stress lifestyle for myself. Hopefully, writing them here will make me more likely to accomplish them an stick to my action plans.

New Years Bar Cart 2019

Happy Friday!! I hope everyone has had an enjoyable Christmas week! I’m starting the process of putting away all of my Christmas decor and transitioning my home back to “normal,” but I’m not quite ready to go back to my normal bar cart just yet.

I love New Years! We get a fresh start to change habits and set new goals, and we get to eat collard greens and drink champagne! I wanted to do something in my home to celebrate ringing in 2019 (even though I won’t be in Raleigh on New Years Eve), so I decided to style my bar cart for the holiday!

Christmas Mimosa Bar

Merry Christmas everyone! I’ve had a great morning with my family having Christmas day brunch and opening gifts. No brunch is complete without mimosas so I made a small mimosa bar for my family to enjoy. I filled glass jars with classic OJ, mixed berry juice, and apple cider. It was hit with my dad and brother who decided to try each flavor! I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their Christmas, I’m headed to High Point to visit my boyfriend’s family!

2018 Holiday Home Tour

I am so excited to finally be sharing my 2018 Holiday Home Tour! I’ve been decorating my house slowly since October, and it is finally complete. My house is three levels: the main floor, which has the kitchen and living room, the basement, which is a multipurpose room, and the upstairs which has both bedrooms. I have three trees in my house, one on each level and each with their own theme! You’ll probably also see that I collect a lot of Christmas ornaments, so I gotta have a lot of trees to display them.

2018 Gift Guide for Pets and Pet Lovers

Hi Everyone! We got dumped 8 inches of snow last night here in Raleigh, so I’ve been cooped up in the house all day. I decided to bring y’all another gift guide!! This one is for the pets or pet lovers in your life! I am a dog person, so I consulted my cat loving friends (thanks Courtney and Rachael) for their suggestions. I love to get my dogs presents for Christmas even though they have no idea what Christmas is, but maybe this will give you some ideas for anyone you know who has a pet and is hard to buy for!
