Christmas in Paradise

January 8, 2016

Hi Guys! I have been so MIA from my little old blog because the month of December was crazy! My family moved to Honduras last August. They live on a tiny island off the coast, so as you can imagine there is literally nowhere for my Mom to get my sisters gifts. As the remaining family member in the states, I played the role of Santa this year and ran around like crazy buying stuff for my siblings. After a week in Honduras, Nathan and I immediately flew to Santa Barbara to visit the rest of our family. What a whirlwind couple of weeks! I would do it all over in a heartbeat. I thought I would share some photos of beautiful Roatan, Honduras for your viewing pleasure.   P.S I was having to much fun to use my real camera so I only used my iPhone, oh well!

The current was so strong and fast in the mangroves we hopped out of the boat and floated for a while. It seriously felt like a magical lazy river.

Welcome, my name is Mercedez! My husband Nathan, our little pup Thomas, and I just moved into the country outside of Austin, TX. We purchased our first home and haven't stopped renovating since! Follow along as I share my all of my favorite things in life; recipes, DIY's, beauty stuff, fashion, interior design, and so much more! 

I'm at a point in my life where getting a table runner on sale makes the day worth living.....hahaha Today Id like to be back in Saint Tropez. Everyone go follow my floral design Instagram. Ready, set, go! @theheirloomtable Down by the lake with my love. ☕️ bigger than my face. I need it today. Throwback to the good days at home in California. Sometimes, most of the time, I really miss it. I bought this 10 million dollar water bottle because it looked cool. 😒 Making salsa watching the rain😌 It's 82 degrees and raining. In Texas 82 degrees feels like sweater weather. One more house picture cause I'm loving our new living room. So much brighter and cozier than the last ❤️ I love our throw pillows! My kitchen sink window makes me so happy 😍
