The Growing Pains of Downsizing

I’ve had this post in my head for a while now, and just haven’t had the energy to actually  sit down and write it out! Fortunately, yesterday BuzzFeed shared my Black and White Gallery Wall project which gave me lots of new visitors and – conveniently – the gumption to share this mini-novel of a…

Printable Robot Glasses Valentine Cards

This year has been one of the most fun for planning Valentine’s for me. My oldest son is five now and has friends at school that he is thrilled to give treats to! He’s actually getting “into” the holiday which just makes it so much more fun. I’m still a horrible procrastinator and literally finished…

My “Brave Boys” Birthday Party

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….

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!

  • It was such an honor to work with all these incredible people these past few weeks! Sounds of Christmas and Jingle Jam were both amazing nights to help kick off the Christmas season!
  • Today marks the second week of advent where we light the faith candle. As a family we’ve been lighting our own advent wreath each evening, and it’s been an incredible way to connect and center ourselves ... to remind us of what the season is all about! In this crazy time, what do you and your family do to refresh?
  • We love our little town! The lighting of the Christmas tree is one of my favorite traditions! @franklintn @visitfranklintn
