Hard to believe that Christmas is just a little more than a week away! Below are a few fun finds for kiddos that have landed heavily on my radar for my two! From a craft box and light up, old school roller skates, to a lego Defender, a vintage gumball machine and a drifting go…

CHEERS TO 2024!
Happy New Year! I can’t believe it’s 2024; my husband was just saying the other night how it feels like it was just Halloween last week and I have to agree. Since having my second child, time feels like it’s flying by at warp speed, and since I’ve never been one for making New Year’s…
BLUE AND WHITE AND CRANBERRY FOR CHRISTMAS
We’re off to a great start this Christmas season, with a host of parties, get togethers and dinners already in the works, one of which happens to be a small gathering at my house this weekend while my dad is in town. My most favorite part about entertaining around the holidays is – no surprise…
FAUX GARLANDS (STILL IN STOCK!)
I posted a video on Insta last week of my newly painted hutch in my eating area, which happened to be draped by a faux white pine garland and I got so many questions about the greenery that I thought I’d share here, too! I’ve only ever had fresh garlands and evergreens in my house;…
GIFT GUIDE: FOR HIM
Gift ideas for the guys are always the hardest for me; unless they have hobbies or interests that are easy to find accessories for, it can be tough coming up with ideas. My hubby is also the hardest person in the world to shop for because there isn’t much that he needs or wants, but…
GIFT GUIDE: FOR HER
This is the first year in I don’t know how long that I’m actually way ahead of schedule with my Christmas shopping AND actually have my Christmas cards ready to drop in the mail, so I actually have the chance to put some items together for the ladies in your life- friends, sisters, mommas, or…

Thanksgiving is a week away and since we will be traveling again this year, I’ll be celebrating turkey day a little early at home.
