Yay! It’s spring! Okay, not really. We have a fresh 7-9 inches of snow outside and the ten day forecast doesn’t even hit 40 degrees. In my head: December, January & February are winter, but that is it. After that, I am all about spring. Four seasons, 12 months means each season only gets three [...]
A Valentine Wrap Up With A Kindle Fire Giveaway
February 19, 2013 By 15 Comments
On Valentine’s Day I posted about how we were celebrating Valentine’s Day in the bedroom. Just because Valentine’s day wasn’t getting fancy, it doesn’t mean it wasn’t going to be celebrated. Y’all know how much I love my holidays around here. That has rubbed off on the kiddos too. They look forward to the decorations [...]
My Ever-Changing Dining Room Shelf
January 31, 2013 By 2 Comments
Ever since we put this dining room shelf up (Christmas of 2011) a little over a year ago, it has become my go-to place for decorating. I love that I can see this shelf from the kitchen, dining room and living room. It makes my whole house feel festive and focusing most of my efforts [...]
Valentine Printable For the Little Ones
January 23, 2013 By 20 Comments
This Valentine is a fun play on words, but most importantly it is a non-candy Valentine that can keep the kiddos busy. A teacher’s favorite kind. Trust me, I know (I was a teacher). They print off four to a sheet and are just dandy the way they are. If you want to include a [...]
Valentine Shelf Vignette and Free Printables
January 9, 2013 By 13 Comments
My Valentine’s shelf is up. I pretty much just re-used what I had with a little different spin. The frames are back featuring some Valentine’s printables, which I made available for all of you. The fabric pennant bunting, Valentine’s wreath, and balloon topiaries are all projects from the past. And that is how you roll [...]
Our Christmas
December 29, 2012 By 4 Comments
Our Christmas is crazy and chaotic, but I love it and wouldn’t have it any other way. As a kid, it was the best. I love that I have so much family and that we make time to see them all. My little sister moved to Connecticut this year and after hours of face timing, [...]
The Last Of Our Elf Antics

Bruce has headed back to the North Pole. We said our goodbyes, which you can read more about here. Bruce is a fan of baby wearing too! I got a kick out of him in the Baby Carrier. Bruce even managed to pick up a Christmas card from my sister all the way in Connecticut [...]
Hand Print Santa Christmas Gift Bag w/Printable Pattern
December 19, 2012 By 3 Comments
The other day I shared with you the gifts we put together for Quinn’s teachers. Now I am sharing with you how we wrapped them. The title is a tad bit misleading, because although there is a printable pattern, our printer is broke so I had to freehand it. Imagine how much cuter yours can [...]

Yesterday I was sharing our teacher gifts and today I have a few more gifts to share. I ordered three calendars from Minted. They arrived yesterday and I love them. They are suppose to all be gifts, but I am not sure I can let them all go. Look how lovely that calendar looks on [...]
