It’s still the season, even though I missed the day, right? I hope your holidays are fabulous. We’re enjoying them thoroughly. We’ve met new cousins, cried tears of happiness over presents, lost our 2 front teeth, and felt like punching the guy with the harmonica. (Whose idea was that anyway???) I’ve truly never felt more […]
[Continue reading...]A Day of Remembrance for Sandy Hook
Everyone grieves differently. Everyone copes differently. Everyone moves forward differently. No one’s right. No one’s wrong. We’re just different. My sister used to (? maybe still does?) go sit at our dad’s grave and talk to him and leave him notes. That doesn’t work for me. I remember him in the way the back of […]
[Continue reading...]Burlap Stockings with Simply Kierste!
Today’s project is a collaboration between me and my pal Kierste (from Simply Kierste) that has been a year in the making. We started these stockings last year but then life happened for both of us and so…better late than never, right? Plus, you’d never have known if I hadn’t told you, right? I’m going […]

This month’s Lowe’s Creative Blogger team challenge was to create some holiday décor. I decided to head outdoors (mostly because that didn’t require convincing BC to haul in bins or put up trees). I went to Lowe’s and came home with this: I’ve been buying my front door wreaths from Lowe’s for YEARS. They’re inexpensive […]

Let’s get real for a second here: Sometimes Christmas sneaks up on me. And, even though I had big plans in October, I have 2 days left before Christmas and I have to go the gift card route. Plus, they mail nicely, right? So, how can you give a cuter gift card? Put it in […]

You’ve all heard about the struggles we’ve had with family pictures in the past, right? Needless to say, getting a family pic for holiday cards wasn’t exactly at the top of my to do list. In fact, it wasn’t actually even on my to do list. So, when my pal Becca called and asked if […]
