Our Holiday Home – Canadian Bloggers Christmas Home Tour
It's DECEMBER!! Where has this year gone?? It's been a looong while since we checked in with all of you here in blog land. We've had a busy few months of ups and downs and decided that we needed a break and some much needed R&R. But we figured we couldn't let the holidays come and go without making our way back and what better way to re-introduce ourselves than with a friendly walk through the Dreamhouse. We've got the main floor of the house all dressed for the holidays so come on in for a little Christmas home decor
