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

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.

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!
Random Thoughts & a sweet sale just for YOU!
So it's the day before Thanksgiving. THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING!! I feel like I say this every year as the holidays arrive, but seriously time flies! I guess it's a good thing we are having fun!! I'm so glad you enjoyed our Dining Room mini-makeover. I still have a few things brewing that I want to add, including finally getting an area rug for that space! We will see what 2016 brings. I was chatting with the hubby this morning, and I told him that infamous hair across my butt that shows up every now and then itching for a project ... IT'S BACK! LOL. I have a laundry list of things to do today, never mind the 6 loads of laundry I did yesterday, that still need to be put away, and you know ...

Dining Room UPDATES + a New Chandelier
So I've dropped a few hints that we were changing things up in the dining room, and I am so excited to share it with you today! Let me rewind just a little. For over a year now, I have wanted to make this change. I was tempted with it years ago, but we ended up putting up a chair rail in our dining room instead with picture frame moldings to follow. Well we never got to the picture frame moldings, so I felt like I was never really 100% invested in the chair rail. It was nice and it gave the space some character, but it just never felt complete for me. Then this one tiny little wall started to stick out to me. And then it started to drive me nuts, which brings me to about last year, when I ... Read More about Dining Room UPDATES + a New Chandelier
DIY Rustic Modern Metal
I am so excited for my friend Laura over at Finding Home! I just love seeing when someones blog, not only inspires a hobby to become a career, but when that career becomes successful, it's time to celebrate!! I would say that I don't like to read, I do like to read, but reading is not a sport of mine. As much as I love a great inspiring book, most of the time I'm just itching to get my hands into a project! I've shared before that I have a problem with sitting still. And usually that means I find busy work. Do you know someone like that? Or perhaps thats you! Well then you are going to love Laura's new book! It is packed full with all sorts of fantastic DIY projects that you can ... Read More about DIY Rustic Modern Metal
