We have been busy filling our jar with gratitude around here. Quinn loves telling me what he is thankful for. Every morning he asks if I can write down what he is thankful for and everyday I fall more in love with my little guy. I swear, as a mom, you think you love your kids more than anything in the world and then you start to love them more and more and more and you didn't even know more love was possible. Who could have fathomed? Aside from our jar of gratitude, our table is still ...

Let's be real folks...like I ...

I have a lot I want to share, but today I am just going to focus on the dessert table/feature wall. The wall went from fall: to Pirate Party: To Halloween: We ...
Halloween Mantle
Me and my shelf are like that (picture me with fingers crossed). We are always hanging out, switching it up. Just this fall, the shelf went from: fall, to decked out for Quinn's pirate birthday (I'll share later), to Halloween.

The tree cut outs, tombstones and spider webbing were all dollar store finds. The ...
