I’m copying this post over from my old blog. Sorry if you’ve already read it, but I wanted to have it all in one place. And, let’s face it, I love these cookies! They’re worth two posts! π I am super picky about my Christmas sugar cookies. I donβt like really crispy, crunchy cookies and […]
Christmas Tree Crafts
As I was decorating our fireplace mantel, I was struggling to find something large to put up on one side. I was thinking about doing these wire trees, but was afraid they wouldn’t feel substantial enough for our oversized fireplace. My friend Amy posted a picture of her fireplace and I caught a glimpse of […]
DIY Christmas Tree Skirt
Last year on after Christmas sales, we snagged a big variety box of silver ornaments at Target for 50-75% off. I’m really loving the silver on our tree this year! Bad news, though, for our $6 gold, cheapie Christmas tree skirt that we bought our first married Christmas. It looked awful with the silver/red Christmas […]
Thanksgiving Recap and Our Real Tree
I’ve been a slow blogger lately. Fail! π My family came in town for Thanksgiving, which was super fun! We ate a yummy meal together with our friend James, then my mom and brother and I hit the stores at midnight for Black Friday specials. We found some great deals! I felt so spoiled while […]
Sweet and Simple Christmas Centerpiece
It’s starting to look a lot like Christmas at our house! I still can’t believe it’s already time to put up Christmas decorations, though. I feel like it’s still July… I’ll post later about our tree soon, but in the meantime, I’ll show you our table centerpiece. Ta da! I left the table runner I […]
I’m Digging It: Second Edition
More random things that have made me smile. 1.) Young House Love. John and Sherry Petersik’s blog Young House Love is an absolute favorite of mine and I’ll admit I got really giddy when they announced they were writing a book and pre-ordered it the first day it was available for ordering. I got even more giddy […]
Fall Decor: Simplified
So when we left off, this is what parts of our house were looking like all decked out for Fall: Festive Tablescape… Decorated Mantel with Burlap Banner… I liked it and enjoyed it, but… when I’m busy, I can’t stand lots of stuff around. Messes stress me out and I go on a de-cluttering spree. […]
It’s a Slippery Slope, People
Remember when the Snuggie first came out? Remember watching that ridiculous commercial and yelling at the people on the tv to just put on a flipping jacket already?! I mean really, right? Here’s a refresher, just for kicks. My favorite is the guy that looks like Grand Moff Tarkin off of Star Wars. π Anywho… […]
Playroom Progress: Kid Made Art
Every year during the holiday season, we put ourselves on a spending freeze to save money for gifts. This means that home improvement projects get put on hold until after Christmas. I have a long list of house projects I’d like to get done soon, so I’ve been contemplating how to do some of them […]
Money Money Money
So, let’s chat about money, shall we? Hubby and I have a divide and conquer type attitude when it comes to managing our finances. We made up a budget together, then split up the sections and both took a share to manage. Hubby takes care of paying all the regular bills like water, electric, mortgage, […]
