The halls are decked, Christmas music is playing {well, only when my hubby’s not home…he hates Christmas music. #bahhumbug } and the coffee is pretty much always on {or the morning’s coffee is still in the coffee pot and needs reheating but if you came over, I would brew a fresh pot just for you!} […]
Building Your Seasonal Home Accessory Collection
With seasonal decorating upon us, I thought I’d share how I have built up a collection of home accents and accessories to use for years to come. Just a quick {maybe not so quick} timeline on accessorizing, styling, etc… I learned long ago from my mom about decorating for each season. She has a way […]
Christmas at Our House
Merry Christmas Eve! Better late than never to share Christmas at our house this year! Hopefully next year I will have it together and get these pictures up earlier :) I’m looking forward to today and hanging out with family, baking, church and time with friends. I always have this idyllic image of how things […]
Burlap Wreath Tutorial
I recently shared some fall wreath ideas on Facebook and with October just around the corner, I thought I would share our “spooky” Halloween wreath I made a few years ago that still gets good use in the month of October around here! I went into this craft project thinking I wanted just natural burlap […]
Happy Easter
Ahhh, spring time. Nothing sets the tone better than spring flowers, a beautiful Easter dress, and a basket filled with brightly colored eggs. I guess it’s the girly girl in me, but I love Easter. This year I’m going to try something different when I dye my eggs. I found this great idea on an […]
Valentine’s Day Inspiration
Typically, Valentine’s Day isn’t that big of a deal in our house. I get a bag of Hershey’s Hugs for my hubby {a little thing I’ve done since our very first valentine’s day together} and call it a day. But things have changed now that I have a little guy in preschool who will be […]
Happy New Year

Christmas Wrap Up
We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Everyone is napping around here so I thought I’d do a quick post to wrap up some Christmas cheer. I made Pretzel Hugs for preschool teacher gifts. I got the idea from my absolute favorite blog, The Sunny SIde Up blog. Erin, the author of the Sunny Side […]
Traditions
Hope everyone has had a great weekend. We have had an extra long weekend and it’s been great! Last week my hubby (Jason for those of you who don’t know) had a conference in San Francisco so we decided to pack everyone up and fly up for a few days. Our boys got a chance to […]
‘O Christmas Tree!
Jill’s Tree One of my favorite things about Christmas is definitely the tree. There is just something extremely comforting about a beautifully decorated pine in the living room. Maybe it’s the ambiance from the soft white lights. Or maybe it’s that every ornament is a reminder of a camping trip, a family vacation, our wedding […]
