I’ve been hiding something from you. I don’t love fall as much as other seasons. I’m sure it’s because I’m in Florida, but even when I lived up north, fall stressed me out because it was a sign 8 months of winter was on it’s way! Also, I don’t like pumpkin flavors. I know. I… Read More Fall tour + 2 printables
Last year we started a really fun tradition of making a thankful chain during the month of November. Most nights after dinner, each family member wrote what they were particularly thankful for that day on a piece of paper and we stapled them together in a chain. This is a tangible way to focus on… Read More Thanksgiving craft: Family thankful chain
You know that place between sleep and awake, that place where you still remember dreaming? That’s where I’ll always love you. That’s where I’ll be waiting. The boys had the idea to do a Peter Pan theme this year. And it was a good one! We had so much fun with it. I made them… Read More Off to Never-Neverland!
I shooed out all the orange for neutral fall colors this year. I went for everything that is wood and white and natural. There’s something simple and calming about it.

Yes, that’s right… Read More Fall baby shower decorations

The boys decided this is who we should be for Halloween and you know I’m down for a good family costume! Also I got a new camera! I saved the money I make from… Read More Family Halloween costume: Despicable Me
We had some friends over for dinner the other night, and instead of cleaning the floors and bathrooms, I decorated the table for Halloween. Naturally. I stuck with black and white. If you’ve read any of my holiday posts before, you know that I always buy decorations the day after the holiday for the next… Read More Black and white Halloween tablescape
I don’t love creepy or spooky, but I still can’t help but get over-involved in a holiday. So here I am making a Halloween Spotify playlist instead of doing anything productive that really needs to get done around the house! I’m a little sissy and play scary way down. Like, even “Thriller” is a bit much for… Read More Halloween Spotify playlist (kid-friendly)
My Halloween decor is simple, mostly sticking to black and white with an occasional pop of orange. I like to essentially decorate for Thanksgiving, but then add in a few spooky things for Halloween that can be taken away after October 31. Aren’t the spiders under the lampshades fun? I did that to surprise the… Read More Simple Halloween decor
