Hello! I just love home tours and I hope you have enjoyed this one so far. In an effort to simplify a bit, I only really decorated the family room and dining room this year. Let’s start in the family room :)     I don’t think you can go wrong with greenery! I also […]

This post from last year fell through the cracks and never got posted. I still love these ornaments and how easy and mess free they are to make so I am sharing them this year. I decorate our tree a different way every year but I try to not buy a lot of new things. […]

Good morning! I don’t know what it has been like in your neck of the woods, but it has been unusually warm here. All this sunshine has me feeling a bit weird about decorating for Christmas. It brings me back to the days when we lived in Las Vegas. The inside of my home is […]

My birthday was yesterday and the only thing I really wanted was a clean house all decorated for Fall and some peace and quiet. Luckily I got both. I also got a new motor for the furnace. A little less fun but I am sure I will enjoy it come winter time. If you have […]

My boys have been obsessed with St. Patrick’s Day since they were tiny. I couldn’t even tell you exactly why. Maybe it is the thought of catching a leprechaun or all the gold, but they have gotten really into a holiday that to be honest, I would probably have glossed over otherwise.   Some years, […]

As promised, I am sharing my version of a Valentine’s Day table setting today. I’m continuing the theme of using light pink, or blush, like with my family room.  I have really come to like pink (I’m currently crushing on it actually!) especially when paired with black and gold!     I stole the black faceted […]

We still do not have any snow. It has not just been cloudy but has been “no sky in sight, end of days” dark outside. I am starting to get a little stir crazy for my want of sunshine. It has also made taking pictures very difficult. I had to edit these a lot and […]

Last year I didn’t participate in any home tours. When I decorated my house, I kept it super simple and only decorated the trees and added a little garland. I thought it would make things less stressful if I went that route but guess what…..I missed decorating more and sharing a tour with you! So […]

One year my (well intentioned) husband brought home one of those advent calendars where you open a little cardboard window or door and get a little chocolate. There was only one chocolate per day and well, I have four kids. The older ones would be pretty good about waiting a few days to get another […]

Since we are smack dab in the middle of the gorgeous Fall season, I thought it might be fun to share a round up of all the Fall-ish things I have shared here on the blog in the past 6 years. Yep SIX! I just hit my 6th year of blogging and it was fun […]

Ack! I have been bursting at the seams trying to keep this project under wraps until today! I finally get to share my version of the Home Depot’s #DIHworkshop project. I have teamed up with not only The Home Depot, but 24 other bloggers to share how you can make this project your own.   […]

I wasn’t going to do any home tours this Fall. I swore I was going to just focus on preserving the food from the garden and plug along with packing away my kids’ summer clothes but when Courtney asked me to be a part of this fall blog hop I kind of had to say […]

I am excited to have been invited to be apart of the Fall Porch Blog Hop organized by my cute friend Taryn from Designing, Dining, and Diapers. It gave me the push to get my porch decorated a little sooner which means I will get to enjoy it longer. Debbie’s porch was the first on […]

For the majority of our 16 year marriage Shane and I have had stay-at-home date nights almost every weekend. Whether it was because we lacked babysitters, or our budget only allowed for one night out a month, or just out of pure “I don’t feel like going out” laziness, over the years we have come […]
