Happy New Year!!We made it through one of the most difficult, confusing, challenging years I think I’ve ever lived through; as I’m sure most of you can say the same. Whew. What a year this has been. There was definitely some hard times for my family and I but there was also a lot of […]
I am getting ready to start an exciting project, the girl’s playroom! We have lived here for over 5 years and I have literally not touched it. Toys have been placed in there (usually are strewn all over the floor) and that’s about it. Matt and I were talking recently and I was telling him […]
Do you hear the choir of angels singing?!? No???? Well, I sure do!! Our built-ins are done and I’m in love and I don’t care who knows it! (Name that movie! Speaking of movies, head here to see a list of our favorite Christmas movies.) For the last 5 years I’ve dreamed of built-in shelves […]
This time of year I watch more movies in 1 month than I probably do in the rest of the months combined! I do love movies but here’s the kicker for me, when I watch a movie I want to watch every. single. part. of the movie. I literally don’t want to miss a sentence. […]
My sisters and I were talking about how much we all LOVE punch! Who doesn’t love it?! I think what makes it so exciting, is it usually is only made for special occassions like baby showers, birthdays, weddings, holidays, etc. Punch is typically made when gathering and celebrating someone or something. But who says punch […]
The other night I couldn’t sleep for the life of me. You ever have a day when you are SO exhausted and at dinner time you are counting down the hours til’ you can climb into bed and doze off into a dreamy slumber? You get the kids to bed, wash your face, clean up […]
Every year I try to add to our collection of Christmas books. Unfortunately, there have been a few book deaths, due to the little hands of Emersyn, but all of these pictured have made it out alive. (For now.) But for real, Emersyn relishes in tearing apart books, paper, magazines, really whatever her little hands […]
I love creating pretty spaces for my family and myself to enjoy. We’ve enjoyed many evenings outside on our front porch and this season I wanted to make it even a little more magical than year’s past. We all could use an extra dose of joy this Christmas season, right?! The girls enjoyed being my […]
Burnt out. Anyone else here? The last few months, I have felt just that. Some of my circumstances are out of my control but other pressures, choices and expectations, is my own doing. This time of year, Americans are usually busier than ever. The season that is supposed to bring us all joy, instead for […]
It is officially December! Woohoo! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and were able to spend it with some family. This week I am finishing up my Christmas decorations. Typically, at this time of the year, I would be done, but our built-ins just got finished up last week so I wasn’t able […]
