How is it almost 2018?? I know that sounds idiotic to say. Everyone says that this time of year, but I seriously can’t believe it. This year has been a whirlwind. I had some pretty amazing changes in my life this year and starting this blog is by far my favorite. It’s something I wish …
I mentioned to my kids that I was considering getting new stockings this year and let’s just say you would think I suggested we change the date of Christmas! Who knew it was such a big deal? If we had gorgeous handmade stockings that were super sentimental, I might understand, but nope. Target specials from …
One thing I like to do with the kiddos each year is make some type of Christmas craft. They love it and I love that they’re being creative. Plus we get something new and handmade to add to our tree! However, I also don’t want to spend a fortune or end up making the whole …

It’s time to decorate for Christmas! Some years, I wish I could just start over with all my decor. And then I quickly remember three things. A. Not happening because I can’t afford it. B. That’s just silly because where would I put all of it. And C. I’m a sentimental person and there’s no …

Christmas is around the corner and that includes gift giving time! Everyone has a hard to buy for person on their list, or that someone who can buy anything they want. So this year, I’m doing a little DIY with my gift giving. Handmade gifts used to have a negative feel about them, but let’s …
If you have kids in the house, it’s pretty much a given that you are faced with the chaos of overflowing toys. I have two kids and kids like toys. Toys tend to get scattered everywhere. But don’t get me wrong, I love toys and I don’t ever want the kind of house that isn’t …
