Y'all probably remember from my post the other day, Snow Filled Mason Jar Holiday Hurricane, that I like to keep my holiday decor cheap and versatile. I am not dropping mad cash to get a holiday home for one month. None-the-less I want a festive home. What's a girl to do? Get crafty! That's what. So my glitter Christmas trees aren't exactly versatile...well, unless you ask Quinn. He said that it should be princess hate for Eleanor. But cheap they were. My quest for a snazzy tree started when ...

Snow Filled Mason Jar Holiday Hurricane

Our Thanksgiving Weekend & Christmas Shelf Updates

If you follow me on Facebook you know that I was stoked about having a weekend with NO PLANS! I don't remember the last time that happened. With three Thanksgivings this week and the holidays around the corner, it is just ...
Free Christmas Printable: Meet Me Under the Mistletoe
Time to get into the Christmas spirit! Deck the halls with this free Christmas printable. This weekend our city had their annual holiday parade. Local high school dance teams, marching bands, dogs in antlers and Santa, of course, all make an appearance. Quinn was very excited. He remembered the Grinch from last year and couldn't wait to see him. Eleanor didn't know what she was getting into, but she loved it. After every dance or marching band she would say, "more" while signing more. ...
