Today is our sweet, sweet boy’s 5th birthday! As much as I enjoy watching the little man he is turning into, I really just want to hold on to these younger years while I can.

I had been looking for some tall, black, simple candlesticks for quite some time now before coming to the realization that they are super hard to find! And what I did find was pretty expensive. No thank you! So instead, I decided to make them myself! Below is how I did it. 🙂 SUPER EASY […]
