Welcome to another holiday edition of weekend reads. Sadly this week I’m feeling a bit under the weather, so this weekend will probably consist of watching A LOT of Christmas movies.
One exciting thing that happened this week is we finally booked our big vacation of the year; we are heading to Argentina in January! Neither Jake or I have ever been to South America, so we’re incredible excited to add another continent to our travel bucket.
We’ll be gone just about two weeks. We are planning on staying in Buenos Aires for four days, then Iguazu Falls for two days, and Mendoza for the next five days. Drop your recommendations below if you’ve been to Argentina!
I can’t wait. I mean just look at this place!
This week I also shared how to decorate your Christmas fireplace two different ways. I feel like decorating a mantle for the holidays has been one of those things I couldn’t wait to do after purchasing a house! There is also an easy DIY for the dried orange garland above.
