The weeks following Christmastime are always pretty hectic around here. Mostly due to the fact that both of my boys were born within 2 weeks of the holiday! Since I had my oldest son, the plan has always been to rotate birthdays so that we weren’t trying to have more than one big party every…

Cloth Diapering for the Modern Family
One of the first things I wrote about when this blog was just starting, was cloth diapering. I had recently switched my son over to cloth after having terrible bouts with diaper rash that wouldn’t go away. Almost immediately I began getting questions from friends, family, and even strangers about the ins and outs of…
Saturday Seven
You guys should be proud. With all of the “New Year – New Me” inspiration out there … I have actually found things on Pinterest that don’t exactly line up with that mentality. OK, maybe ONE of these Saturday Seven images links to some salad recipes, but I’d say that’s pretty good considering the odds!…
What You Loved in 2014
I hope you all had a wonderful New Year’s celebration! 3 out of the 4 members of my family were sick, so we’ve been having a ball around here! Since I haven’t had a chance to do a lot of creating or writing, I thought I’d share a round-up of what you loved in 2014….
Merry Pin-mas to You!
I wish you a merry pin-mas, I wish you a merry pin-mas, I wish you a merry pin-mas and a happy new year! Ok :-) all kidding aside, I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday! My boys and I went to Christmas Eve service at our church yesterday so we’ve been relaxing…
Spiced Chocolate Nightcap
As much as I love the holiday season, I’m not going to pretend that it isn’t one of the most stressful times of the year. We’re all busier than normal with gift-getting, kids home from school, and attending events we wouldn’t normally be bothered with. Of course – in the midst of all those things,…
Saturday Seven
Happy Christmas week, friends! I hope you have wonderful plans to spend time with family and friends. I have been taking a relaxation break this holiday season. Sure, we’ve put up some decorations – and obviously we’ve purchased gifts; but, I’ve made a pact with myself to keep it simple. It’s been so fantastic! I’ve…
Sweet Gumdrop Trees
Tradition is such an important part of the Christmas season, and one of the most fun parts of my family’s tradition each year is making these sweet gumdrop trees. I’ve been making them for years with my mom; in fact, one year we even sold them. Of course they went like hot cakes!

Can you believe Christmas is just over a week away? It’s gone by so quickly, and I’m still searching for fun home ideas to incorporate into this year’s festivities. Lucky for me, you guys really brought it to the Pinworthy Projects link party last week! I mean … there were so many great ideas that…

Black and White Gallery Wall
Even though we moved into our home almost three years ago, I’m still trying to work out several of the spaces. We’ve gone through a lot of changes in the past few years, and had to move things around a lot: a new baby, new business, and design add will do that to you! Because…
Festive Christmas Treats
Good morning! It’s been so crazy around here with my husband entering his busy Christmas season at the church, holiday events, and tackling Black Friday sales from the shop. I’ll admit that it’s been difficult to get projects done – let alone actually write about them to share with you! That’s why I’m so thrilled…
Chocolate Pudding Bundt Cake
My family knows how to do holidays. We have a ton of people who love to get together and celebrate, and that always leads to a good time. One of the things we do best is food. Most of our recipes are family favorites that have been handed down for years. One such favorite is…

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you’ve all had a wonderful day with family and friends giving thanks for all of the blessings you’ve been given…I know I have! It’s been so much fun celebrating as a family of four for the first time this year, and getting to see my little guy experiencing his first taste…
