CHRISTMAS IN THE KIDDOS’ ROOMS
Like their momma, my kiddos were ready to decorate their rooms for Christmas the day after Halloween, but we managed to hold off a few weeks into November and slowly take out some of their favorite and decorations to get them in the spirit early. I try to let them have free reign when it…

I LOVE A POP OF CHRISTMAS RED

GIFT IDEAS FOR THE GUY WHO HAS EVERYTHING
I wasn’t going to do gift guides this year, HOWEVER…..finding gift ideas for hubbies, dads, brothers has always tended to be the most difficult! To get back into the swing of blogging, I thought I would share a few finds that the hubby has loved over the years (I always stick a bottle of this…
HALLOWEEN DECOR, BUT MAKE IT CUTE
It’s still way too early for me to start decorating for Halloween, but if my kiddos had their way, the house would have been ready for the holiday weeks ago. I like to keep the decor simple – black twist taper candles in my grandmother’s silver candlesticks, homemade mummy candle holders the kids made a…

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…

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…
