When we moved into our house, there were some things I wanted to change as they were pretty outdated. One being our fireplace. I am not against red brick; in fact, certain types of red brick are making their way back, but ours was not the case. And that gold vent cover… Before With a little […]

Post composed by my mom! (A few years ago) One of my family’s Christmas traditions is the opening of “Christmas Poppers.” Whoever gets the bigger end of the paper tube, wins the prize. Contents usually include a paper crown, a silly joke and a little gift of some sort. Since my kids have grown […]
One of my favorite holiday traditions is getting into our jammies, sipping hot cocoa and driving around looking at decorated houses and Christmas lights. Well, a while back my friend, Kristen shared how her family created an award to give to their favorite decorated house, and I just LOVED this idea and we have done […]
I recently turned thirty-two, and it started out a little bit rocky. The day began with a nice birthday wake-up by my babe, Frankie, at about 11:30 pm. And then I guess he just really missed me and wanted to make sure he was the first one to really wish me a happy birthday because […]
We recently celebrated our little baby turning one. And GOSH! It was such a bittersweet day! He is our baby and this “official” birthday party just sealed the deal. He’s growing.

Our babies are getting old! Insert crying mama face. 🙁 Months before Gwyn turned six and Cal turned four, we attended a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese where Gwyn and Cal learned that only the birthday child is able to go into the Ticket Blaster. It was then that these two deemed this event […]
A while back I blogged what I would like our baby’s room to look like if we had a boy and what I would like it to look like if we had a girl. (See that post HERE) Well, we had a boy! So a rustic woodland theme it is! And to kick off the […]
With a new baby on the way it meant one child needed to have a new room, and since Gwyn’s room is already complete, that meant it was finally time for Cal to have a big boy room. We decided to give him this room, which is actually the biggest of the two available, it’s […]
Our bedroom is long. And until recently, about half of it was never used. With a new baby on the way, we decided this would be the perfect space for a little nursery until baby is old enough for his/her own room, and then it would be turned into an office. So, after some […]
