Only 5 more days till Christmas! Do you have any traditions you’ll be keeping in the next 5 days? We have one more family time: Christmas Eve! I’ve been doing a bit of baking for that party when our kids, and now granddaughters, come over to open presents, play games and just relax. After lots of [...]

It’s the week before Christmas and all through the house… What’s happening at your house this week? Are you doing last minute planning for a Christmas get-together? We had our family party on Saturday and in the interest of simplifying, I did an easy take home party favor… I try to pick a theme every [...]

I have to repost this just in case you have an extra 10 minutes during this super busy time! I’m going to pull this together for Ellie to do! xo I got a few pine cones and slathered them here and there with peanut butter, rolled them in birdseed and tucked some cranberries in the [...]

(I got really sick) Whatever the [...]

Inspiration comes from the oddest places… “Gigi, it’s almost Christmas and it hasn’t even snowed yet!” Imagine a two year old lamenting in the saddest of voices. I couldn’t bring myself to tell her that we live in the deep south and if we get even one snow day a year it’s a miracle. Sigh. [...]

I’ve been sick for a solid week. I’m talkin fever and coughing till I’m sore sick. So my Christmas fun has come to a screeching halt while I rested. Never fear, I was meandering around Pinterest while in bed and here are some of the simple delights I found…enjoy! ***** Are you up for some [...]

Happy December! How are the holidays going for you? Are you ahead of your to-do list or are you already feeling behind? I remember when I was younger and decorated my house with four little bundles of endless energy underfoot. I had this vision in my head of what I wanted everything to look like [...]

Aren’t these AH-dorable!? I mean…seriously cute. I saw these babies at Anthroplogie the other day and I kid you not, I stood there in front of the display in awe of how very happy something so simple could make me. Here are the Anthro Mason Jar Snow Globes! (The Anthro version: $25.00-$35.00!) Here’s my [...]
