If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you know I have been geeking out about my latest project, my front entryway. How about a sneak peak? I got the chance to shop the Life of Pi Collection from World Market and I spiced up my front entryway with their accessories. After all, accessories are the spice of life ;). I'm loving these stainless steel Indian cups, part of the Life of Pi collection. They make the most gorgeous vases. The ivory bone jewelry box is so simple and neutral, ...

Christmas Table
The other day Ross came home to a clean house and a beautifully set table. Don't get your hopes up buddy, I just set the table for blog photos and there is no dinner. Yes, while the children napped I cleaned up and then played around with setting a Christmas table and taking photos of it. This table is super simple.

My quest for a snazzy tree started when ...

Bruce, our Elf on the Shelf, is back. He was a gift to us last year. We had so much fun with him, he is officially a tradition around here. The kids love it. The kid's are encouraged to tell Bruce what they want for Christmas, much like writing a letter to Santa. We often refer to Bruce as a stinker and we certainly don't use him as a form of parenting. When we started doing Elf on the Shelf last year I really didn't know anyone doing it or much about it. It seemed like fun, much like decorating ...
Snow Filled Mason Jar Holiday Hurricane
As much as I love decorating for the holidays, I have very little actual holiday decorations. Of course there are the ornaments, two wreaths, stocking and stocking hangers, rummage sale Christmas plates and three strings of garland. I truly believe you can create a holiday home without investing a ton of money in holiday stuff. 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 ...
