Eleanor, along with every other child, is obsessed with Frozen. She knows every word to every song. The soundtrack is on repeat in our car. She also knows every hand gesture, hair flip and stomp of the Let it Go scene. Elsa is her favorite, because "she has the powers". Like every other soon to be three year old she also knows what she wants and she wanted a Frozen Birthday party. I tried to talk her out of it, but it wasn't happening. There just isn't a very big variety of Frozen stuff and ...

I made a Christmas tree for free out of wrapping paper, glitter Christmas trees (still have to blog about those bad boys), filled frames with wrapping paper, cut and ...
Halloween Chalkboard Art
We are hitting mid-October and my chalkboard has been sitting blank for weeks. I finally got around to getting a little something, something up there. I found the trick to writing on chalkboards is to keep the board wet. The chalk goes on much more smoothly and much more vibrantly. It may not seem so at first, but once it dries it is going to be amazeballs. Promise. This little chalkboard vignette is in addition to our spooky Halloween mantle shelf. Let's be real folks...like I ...
