EASTER BASKET IDEAS FOR THE LITTLES
Easter is right around the corner and I’m finishing up finding the last of the fillers I’ll be stuffing into my littles’ baskets this year. It was so much easier (and budget-friendly) when they were super little, but I’ve managed to stick to the same thing year after year – books, a gratitude journal, a…
SWEET VALENTINE’S FOR THE KIDDOS
We’re still over here, lamenting having taken down our tree last weekend ( time to make a trip to the nursery for a carload of house plants to add some life and fresh greenery!), but I also just realized we are officially a month out from Valentine’s Day, so I’m also pulling out all the…
SIX MORE SLEEPS + MY NEW FAVORITE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
We are still taking our time decorating the house with all of our Christmas favorites, but, I have to say, the best part of decorating this year was my little miss’s surprise when she walked in to her room and saw all these beautiful paper stars! I grabbed a few of these 12-packs and they…
LAST MINUTE GIFT IDEAS FOR THE KIDDOS
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…
RECREATING A FAVORITE TABLE SETTING FOR CHRISTMAS
I don’t know about you guys, but with Thanksgiving so late this year, my creative energy is waning with ten days less to prepare for ALL. THE THINGS. In an effort to stick to my promise to slow down and truly enjoy the Advent season, my little miss and I recreated a favorite table setting…

CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE 2024: FOR THE GUYS
I’m kicking off my Christmas gift guides with some ideas for the gents, since they are notoriously the hardest people on the list to shop for! Many of these are items I’ve bought in the past for my own hubby (or brothers or my dad) and there are a few on here that I’m considering…
A ROUNDUP OF THOUGHTFUL HOSTESS GIFT IDEAS FOR THE HOLIDAYS
The holiday season is officially in full swing and I, for one, couldn’t be more excited to host! It really is the most wonderful time of the year and I always look forward to getting together with family, friends and neighbors. Just as important as the get togethers themselves, though, are the little gifts to…
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…
