Create a SIMPLE hot chocolate station in minutes!!
Christmas is coming in hot this year!!! I am still sneaking Halloween candy out of the pantry after the kids go to sleep and I am WAY behind on putting up the Christmas tree and buying Christmas presents. But whether I am ready or not…HERE IT COMES!! As my kids get older and the Christmas magic is tougher to create, I have tried to add in little bits of joy each day…ANYTHING to add a bit of Christmas cheer and extra goodness to each day leading up to Christmas. This year, I decided to create a simple little hot chocolate station for the kids to enjoy. These days it can…

Decorate with me on YouTube
I came across a fun challenge over on Instagram where a group of AMAZING vintage collectors challenged us to create a fun picnic themed space in our homes for spring. I jumped right on the challenge…a week late…because THAT is how I roll. It was so much fun to get my decor juices flowing again, and to challenge myself to think outside of the box a little bit. Come decorate with me over on YouTube to see how I created this fun vintage inspired picnic vignette. Pin for later!!

St. Patrick’s Day Book Page Banner
Have you had a Shamrock Shake yet?? Don’t ask how I know, but they make a good breakfast!! Haha. I have to be honest, I don’t do much to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. I don’t think I own ANYTHING green. I have never had corned beef…I don’t even have a clue how one would go about corning a beef. Cabbage has NEVER been on my menu…not one time since I left my mom’s house. And I actually don’t know another single St. Patrick’s Day tradition. BUTTTTT I did make a super cute Shamrock Book Page Banner and listed them in the ETSY SHOP. ORRRRR if you want to create your…
