2015 sure brought some fun and exciting things in my life regarding this blog and the business that goes with it. It's been almost 4 years, and even though I still struggle with saying the actual word "blog" (still sounds weird to me) I finally tell people that I have a blog, LOL! I love looking back each year, and reflecting on all that has happened. It always sparks feelings of accomplishment, and even more so gratitude. Because without you here, there really wouldn't be much of a blog, and so for that I am SUPER grateful! Grateful for this online community, and friends that I've made. Grateful for a place I can unload all my design thoughts and ideas into a circle of well receiving ... Read More about Highlights from 2015
A New Year | Finding the Quiet
I don't know about you, but during the last week of the year, I can't help but think and plan on things I want to do and accomplish in the new year. Reflecting on the past year, surfaces thoughts on all the accomplishments and things the year brought. I think sometimes I can fall into the trap of feeling discouraged or disappointed on the things I wanted to accomplish but didn't. That's when I need to take the reigns of my thoughts and focus on all the good the year brought. I've talked about comparison before, and for me that's one way the door can crack open on falling into the trap of comparison. So I do my best to recognize it right away, for what it is, and surround myself with ... Read More about A New Year | Finding the Quiet
Merry Christmas from me & some friends!!
A very Merry Christmas Eve to each and every one of you!! We are soaking up every bit of Christmas that we can this week, and have had some surprise family guests come to stay with us, which make Christmas traditions even more special. So it's been a little quiet over here, just because we are soaking in time with family, and I hope you all get a chance to slow down a bit, and rest, and enjoy being with loved ones as we celebrate the holidays! I asked a few of my blogging friends what their favorite Christmas tradition was, to share with all of you, just to enjoy this holiday season! I have loved reading each one of the things they love most about the holidays and think you will too! ... Read More about Merry Christmas from me & some friends!!
Keeping up with Christmas Traditions & a Giveaway!
Once all the decorating is done, and the boxes are back in the basement, it's time to start up with the Christmas traditions. Other than decorating, it's one of the things I look forward to most during the holiday season. From baking, to Christmas movie watching, driving around and looking at Christmas lights in our pj's. We have so much we enjoy doing each year to soak in everything about this holiday season. One tradition that I grew up with was making home made gingerbread houses. My grandmother was a cake decorator for many years, so going to her house was always a "sweet" treat, especially around the holidays. Gingerbread houses for us was an all day event, that started with many days ... Read More about Keeping up with Christmas Traditions & a Giveaway!
Flocked Christmas Tree
Every time I hear the word "flock", I instantly think "flock of geese", "flock of seagulls", "flock of sheep", but not so much trees? Never mind thinking of Christmas trees when I hear the word flock. However flocked Christmas trees are slowly stealing the show. And while I love me a real tree, in all it's beautiful, traditional glory, I wanted to share more of our new flocked Christmas tree with all of you! I'll be honest, I thought I would be a real tree, all green, kinda girl forever. Growing up in New England, with plenty of places to "cut your own", people would wonder why you would get anything different. And while I love the tradition, and their fragrance, the last couple years have ... Read More about Flocked Christmas Tree
Decorating with Table Top Christmas Trees
So it's no secret, I like to decorate with Christmas trees. Any size, real or faux, I'm really not that picky, but I think I look at mini christmas trees like some people look at puppies or kittens. You know a dog or a cat may be nice, but when you see a little tiny baby one, you start talking to it all cute-sie, woot-sie, and it makes you smile. Yeah, I kinda fall for little christmas trees that way too! We have a running joke around here about how many trees will it be this year? Which I always reply to - you can never have enough! With that said I think right now our running count is about 67. UMM yes, you are reading that number correctly. My husband jokes, so one night in a bet, he went ...

Christmas Ornament Centerpiece
Thank you so so much for all of your kind words from yesterdays Christmas Tour. It was truly an honor to be apart of Jennifer Rizzo's Holiday Housewalk this year. A blogging goal of mine for many years, and a dream come true! Today I'm going to share with you how I put together the centerpiece on our coffee table. I'm a big fan of using trays, or baskets, and bowls for coffee table decor. Especially if you don't have a large coffee table, and you want the convenient of having something styled on your coffee table, but that is also easy to remove quickly if little hands are around, or you want to put your feet up! Today I'm teaming up with some crazy talented blogger to bring you another ... Read More about Christmas Ornament Centerpiece
Christmas Tour | Holiday Housewalk 2015
Hello and WELCOME!! I'm so glad you are here, and joining us for our Christmas House Tour this year. To say we are thrilled to be apart of this tour is an understatement. I can still remember everything, as if it were yesterday, when I found out I was going to be apart of this years tour! Our lovely host Jennifer Rizzo started these dreamy christmas tours just as I was starting to get into blogs. So you can imagine my dream as a new blogger to one day be apart of such a beautiful tour. I look forward to them every year, and after linking up last years christmas tour with fingers and toes crossed, I about fainted when I found out I had been chosen. Well maybe not fainted, but there were ... Read More about Christmas Tour | Holiday Housewalk 2015

New Sheets for our Bed & a GIVEAWAY!
*This GIVEAWAY is now Closed.*Raise your hand if you have purchased bed sheets before only to get them home, wash them , and after a few nights of sleeping on them, you were not that impressed?! When we first got married, we inherited our bed from a family member who bought a queen for her guest room, it hardly got used, and then she down-sized and had no need for the bed. Perfect timing for us, because we were just starting out, and I know you've heard this song and dance before, and "we ain't got no money". So we were thrilled we didn't have to go out and buy a bed. Well fast forward 10 years later, and this bed is now 15 or so years old, neither of us were sleeping good, or through the ... Read More about New Sheets for our Bed & a GIVEAWAY!
