Christmas Home Tour

December 21, 2015January 8, 2016 - Sarah 5 Comments

For me, Christmas brings about a sense of home and family. It’s a time to cherish one another and spend time together. I love turning our home into a cozy Christmas wonderland during the holiday season to make the experience even more special. I typically end up adding a few things to my collection each year. This yearRead more

Peanut Butter Balls Recipe

December 17, 2015August 25, 2016 - Sarah 2 Comments

Want a healthy treat this Christmas? Well, despite natural peanut butter being the main ingredient, this is NOT it. These peanut butter balls are D-I-V-I-N-E and worth every calorie! We made them during my family cookie baking party last weekend and cannot stop eating them. They are best made with a group because rolling all thoseRead more

Last year, was Evelyn’s first Christmas but she was only 6 months old, so opening gifts for her was really for mom and dad’s enjoyment and not so much for hers. This year, she’s 18 months old and I cannot wait to see her open her gifts as she is just old enough to get excitedRead more

December 7, 2015January 8, 2016 - Sarah 7 Comments

When you have a young family you get to decide what will become your own family traditions. Traditions that your kids will grow up knowing and remembering when they look back at their childhood.

Christmas Frame Crafting

December 2, 2015January 8, 2016 - Sarah Leave a comment

My mom has perfected making her home feel cozy and appropriately decorated for every holiday. She changes out pillows, blankets, table and mantel decor, the works. One of my favorite spots to check out each holiday is her table of old photos. She has an array of themed picture frames that host memories of pastRead more

Eat, Drink & Be Thankful for Today

November 25, 2015January 8, 2016 - Sarah 2 Comments

In a world that moves so fast it’s easy to get caught up thinking about tomorrow and planning for the future, but today I’d like to slow down and be thankful for the memories I’ve built and the moments happening right now. We’re all guilty of constantly thinking ahead – the changes we can make,Read more

Playing with Pumpkins

November 18, 2015January 8, 2016 - Sarah 4 Comments

It’s not too late to play with pumpkins this fall! Evelyn loved picking out pumpkins for the family at a local farm down the road from our home. It was one of those perfect fall days for being outside – colorful leaves, a cool breeze, but warm sun and that scent of autumn in theRead more

And yes it’s true. These baking sheets are incredible. I’ve tested them side by side with other pans and the difference is real. Cookies bake more evenly, slide right off, and cleanup is effortless. I truly can’t say enough good things. I love my cookware and bakeware so much.

Next on my wish list the double burner griddle and round cake pan 👀

I bought two plain cakes and decided to trust the vision… and somehow a whole little fairy garden came to life 🧚✨

Nothing fancy, just sprinkles, shimmer, and a little imagination. Watching it all come together made it feel even more special than ordering one.

Would you ever try decorating your own birthday cake, or are you team “leave it to the pros”? 🌸

Happy birthday to my sweet Olivia Jay 🌈

Happy birthday to my sweet Olivia Jay 🌈

My rainbow baby, such a special part of our family. You love dancing, your baby doll Mandy (never forget Mandy 💕), and relaxing with your thumb and a little hair twirl. Your favorite color changes by the hour, but your love for French fries? That’s forever 🍟

You can craft with me for hours and never want to stop, and you are fearless in everything you try - swim, gymnastics, ballet… you jump right in with that brave little heart of yours.

Everywhere you go, you light up the room. You ask everyone their name, introduce yourself, and somehow leave every store with a new friend. You love your Disney princesses, baby dolls, Barbies, dresses, and all the fancy shoes.

You tell me you’re a big girl now… but sweet girl, you will always be my baby.

We love you more than words could ever hold. 💖

I thrifted this box before vacation… and I have ZERO memory of what’s inside 😅

All I remember is it felt heavy, breakable… and apparently I was already in a Christmas state of mind 🎄

Is it too early to thrift Christmas… or is this actually genius?? 😂

This could be the best haul or a full “what was I thinking” moment. Let’s find out together 👀

Don’t worry about the ones who aren’t happy for you…
some people are still searching for that within themselves. 🌊

For YEARS I’ve tried everything to keep birds from turning my patio into their personal bathroom… a fan running nonstop, fake snakes, dinosaurs (yes 😂), all the flashy things… NOTHING worked.

But I think I finally found the solution 🙌🏼

My dad used this owl all last summer and swears by it — no more mess on his black Adirondack chairs by the fire pit. So I’m giving it a shot! Right now she’s just sitting on my chair (temporary placement lol), but I’m adding a stake and moving her into the landscaping ASAP.

And let me tell you… I had JUST put my cushions out and they were already covered in poop 😩

I’m already planning to grab another one for the front yard because apparently my driveway + basketball hoop is also prime bird real estate 🫠

You don’t understand how excited I am about this 😂 If this works, it’s a GAME CHANGER.

Comment “BIRD” or “OWL” and I’ll send you the details 🦉✨
