I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving day I posted what we were grateful for and we kicked off our iPad giveaway. Ross was off Wednesday through Sunday and it was AWESOME! The kiddos and I loved having daddy home. We need to win the lottery so Ross can join me in stay-at-home-parentdom. We are lucky enough to have lots of family nearby and were able to celebrate Thanksgiving three times. The kiddos absolutely loved seeing so much family and playing with their cousins. I ...

A Simple & Affordable Christmas Mantle

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.

Who could have fathomed? Aside from our jar of gratitude, our table is still ...

Too early to talk Christmas? It is only 7 weeks away! Eek! I have one gift bought. I know we still have Thanksgiving, but if I wait until after than to share my ideas you will all be scrambling.
