Around here Christmas has come down. Gone are the decorations, the printables and the pine needles. Quinn still talks about Christmas like it is coming up any day now. Guess he is going to take a little longer to get over it. I really loved the magic Quinn brought to Christmas this year. Such an exciting time when you are three! For a second there I was a little worried about the monster we had created! By the time we were on our third Christmas he knew the drill was was like, "Where are my ...
My Spaces
My Holiday Home
The home is dressed for the holidays! That is a lot easier then getting me dressed for the holidays (haha), but we are working on that!

We are always changing this up around here. So here are some photos of our living room. As we go I can fill you ...
Thrifty Thursday: Big Statement, Small Price
Today I am going to talk about how I got thrifty and made a big statement above Eleanor's crib for very little money. You can see what a big statement they make. What makes them so thrifty? Let me explain. If you are having difficulty reading that let me break it down for you. That is a screenshot of Walmart's web page. These cork 12x12 tiles are sold in 4 packs and cost $9.47. Which means I scored my eight for twenty bucks. You can use any fabric to cover them. In this case I used ...
