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.

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

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.

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

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

One of our favorite thrift stores moved, so come with us to check out the new space! πŸ›οΈ Some of the prices were AMAZING, and others had me wondering what happened there πŸ˜‚

Has anyone else noticed thrift stores raising their prices based on what things are selling for online? I’m curious if it’s just me or if you’ve noticed it too!

A little reading update πŸ“šβ˜•οΈ

⭐️ The Calamity Club by Kathryn Stockett was SO good on audio. Five stars from me!

πŸ’• I was reading Happy Place by Emily Henry, but I just wasn’t getting into it, so I set it aside.

πŸ“– Then I picked up The Night We Lost Him by Laura Dave and flew through it! I really enjoyed this one.

Now I need YOUR help deciding what to read next! πŸ‘€πŸ“š

✨ Option 1: A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas β€” fantasy/romantasy πŸ§šβ€β™€οΈ

✨ Option 2: Conform by Ariel Sullivan β€” dystopian πŸ“–

Thanks to @bradylockerby for putting Conform on my radar!

πŸ‘‡ HELP ME CHOOSE! If you could only pick ONE, which would you tell me to read next β€” A Court of Mist and Fury or Conform? And convince me in the comments WITHOUT spoilers! πŸ‘€ I want to know which one will have me staying up way too late turning pages!

Some nights, our family dinner table is the car! πŸ˜‚πŸ” Between hockey, ballet, gymnastics, swim and all the after-school activities, this time of year gets BUSY. I still love finding little moments for us to sit together, catch up and enjoy dinner, even if we’re squeezing it in between stops.

And tonight is extra special because our local @awrestaurants is giving back with a school fundraiser! ❀️ A good dinner, time together and supporting our community, too.
