I'm smack dab in the middle of what I would call a busy season in my life. Juggling the schedule of a SAHM of 3 kids is only one facet of my life right now. I'm also a blogger and shop owner. A volunteer librarian. A worship singer. And helping upstart a new women's ministry. All good, good things. But also things that force me to function one … [Read more...]
Christmas in July
You know when you hit that part of the summer when you've really had just about all you can take of the hot, humid weather and you just want to enjoy something completely opposite of the season you're stuck in? Well, we hit that mark here this week and decided to have a little fun with planning a Christmas in July day! I've actually wanted to … [Read more...]
Patriotic Summer Living Room Decor
Happy Belated 4th of July! It's hard to believe we've already come so far into the summer. Typically by the 4th of July, I start to feel a little depressed because I know we're on the "fast downward slope" to the end of our vacation and before you know it, we'll be back to school in August. The department stores around here are even putting school … [Read more...]
Spring Family Room
I'm not sure why, but this year spring seems to be slowing creeping its way back into Wisconsin, and in no hurry whatsoever. You know the sloth from the movie Zootopia? If spring were an animal, it'd totally be that sloth. The cold weather and lack of sunshine is sticking around a little longer than it should be. I decided our family room needed … [Read more...]
Vintage Button Valentine Art
Something about the word "vintage" just automatically has me seeing googly-heart eyes all over the place! So when I decided to create a cute little Valentine's Day canvas using some vintage buttons, I knew my heart would be going pitter patter. Major crushing going on! I started out with a simple white canvas I found at Walmart in the craft … [Read more...]
Rustic Christmas Eve Crate
It's finally here! In 2 more days it will be Christmas! Ironically, to me it seems like this season has just flown by, while for my kids, I am sure it has crept as slowly as molasses to get here. With all the hustle and bustle, it's easy for the real meaning of this time of year to get lost in the chaos. I seem to always want to cling to those … [Read more...]
Christmas Eve Dinner Table
We're in the final countdown to Christmas this week! Are your gifts wrapped yet? Got all that baking done? Not so much? Well, that's ok, me neither! Might as well just roll with it, because Christmas will be here in 7 short days whether we're ready or not! I stole a little time last night when the kids were winding down, brushing teeth and … [Read more...]
Making a Home for the Holidays
Last weekend I had the opportunity to receive a pretty incredible Christmas gift early. I got to do something that I've literally dreamed of doing for the last 20 years. I got to go back home. Let me explain... When I was nearly 15 we moved from the only house I had ever known - the house I was born in, grew up in and never wanted to leave. It … [Read more...]
A Christmas Carol DIY Artwork
Hi friends! Remember me? The blogger who went MIA almost 2 weeks ago? I certainly had not intended on taking such a long hiatus from blogland, but alas, sometimes life happens and time slips away from us. We spent the first weekend in December traveling to visit some out-of-state family, meeting our new sweet baby niece, and driving home 7 hours in … [Read more...]
DIY Kitchen Plate Stand + Hand Soap Giveaway from Mrs. Meyer’s
This post is sponsored by Grove Collaborative & contains affiliate links, however all opinions are my own. There's something about the smells of fall that make this season so distinguishable. Burning leaves. Hot apple cider. Pumpkin pie. One whiff and your nose knows...it's fall! That's why I was super excited to find out that my favorite … [Read more...]
