{Toadstools} another fun, easy-to-make gift for the kids
This was one of the more fun little things that I’ve made recently and so super cute! As I posted a few days ago, I am trying to center a lot of the toys in our playroom around the tree house that Scott and his dad made for the girls a few years ago. So, one of […]
Ornament Advent Calendar
I have to take a short break from our home made Christmas gifts to talk about our Advent Calendar, lest December slip right past me and I never mention it. Which would be a shame because I just love it. I have seen some great Advent Calendars and I really wanted to make a special one—but […]
Christmas Traditions
Every year Christmas gets funner and funner (yep, “funner”). As the girls get a little older, they understand so much more. Last year on Christmas Eve, as we were driving to Scott’s grandparents’ house Chloe asked me, “Mama, is Santa real?” We decided to be honest, so I answered, “Do you want me to tell […]
Thanksgiving Dinner Etiquette
In keeping with yesterday’s post, I thought I would add more about being a fabulous Thanksgiving guest. We can all stand to brush up on our dinner etiquette, but our Thanksgiving dinner etiquette should be top notch—you don’t want to be that guy, right? I found a bunch of sites that talk about the proper way to handle one’s self as a […]

What you’ll need for each: 1. Pine cone […]
One Week of Willow – Day Three: Willow’s Birthday!
Being in Willow’s life is one of the greatest gifts we’ve ever been given. We’ve loved every moment that we’ve been blessed with watching her grow. Tonight Scott and I spent some time looking at pictures of our little lady. I could truly post pictures for hours and never be done sharing all my favorites […]

Fab Halloween Wreath (for FREE!)
As I mentioned before when we were getting ready to decorate for the fall season (find that post here), all of our fall decorations were lost when we moved. So, the girls and I have been slowly building our fall décor. Today, we made a fabulous Halloween wreath. If it’s one thing I LOVE to […]
