Friday Letters

  Dear AG, Oh, where do I start?  This week you rolled over for the first time.  I was so happy I was there to see it and even happier that you did it again for your dad when he got home.  Lately, you've had a bit of an attachment to me and sometimes I feel bad when you have your "I need mommy" moments.  Even though I love being able to soothe you, I want you to love going to everyone.  I'm also super stoked to get you your own tree this year. You already have quite the collection of ornaments.  I'm looking forward to this tradition and many more that will come.                        ... read more

Saw it. Pinned it. Did it.

Thursday?  Already!?!  Honestly, I have no idea where these days go.  I can't believe December 1st is just a few days away.  Part of me is ready and excited and the other wants time to slow down.  I have so many things I want to do, especially for Christmas. I've already started working on my Christmas Bucket List and I'm busy thinking up goals for December.  It's already at the point of losing sleep at night because I can't stop my mind from spinning.  I REALLY want to make this Christmas the best yet...no matter how much sleep I lose. Today, I'm linking ... read more

Christmas Bucket List

It's the most wonderful time of the year!  Thanksgiving has come and gone, which means it's officially Christmastime.  I wish I could go without sleep this time of the year.  I wish the days and weeks were longer.  I just LOVE this time of the year and can't get enough of it!  I struggle with getting everything done that I want to from Thanksgiving to Christmas. There's so much to do, so many places to go, presents to buy and lots to bake.  To help me keep track of it all, I've decided to create a Christmas Bucket List.  My fall bucket list was a ... read more

Thankful

I've spent everyday this month thinking about everything I'm thankful for. Most days it's hard to put into words how full my heart is. Today is not only Thanksgiving, it's my 29th birthday. It's a special day. I wake up each morning and thank God for this life I've been given. It hasn't always been easy.  But, nothing in life worth having is. I have a loving family and wonderful support system. I have a beautiful daughter and one of a kind husband that I can't get enough of.  I have friends that stand by my side through it all. I'm thankful for crafting, sewing, coffee, ... read more

Thanksgiving Dinner

Thanksgiving is two short days away.  Even though my family makes the traditional Thanksgiving dishes, I always look for something new to add to the table each year.  You can find some of my past recipes here.  I've made so many that I've loved and always say, THIS is the one I'll be making from now on.  But, my love of trying new recipes just doesn't allow me to make the same thing twice.   Here are some of the things I'll be adding to the table this year...

Friday Letters

Dear Hubs, I love you. Dear AG, You have officially slept in your crib for an entire week.  You've been down by 9:30 and we don't walk back in until you wake at 7.  We are so so lucky/blessed that you love your sleep, just like your daddy.  Mommy is taking you to Barnes and Noble today to get a book to celebrate you sleeping in your crib, she's going to write a sweet note to you inside so we can remember this achievement.  Now tonight, we're taking away your swaddle.  Hopefully you'll do just as great with this new adjustment. Dear Thanksgiving & Birthday, I'm looking forward to you ... read more

saw it. pinned it. did it.

Today, I'm linking up for saw it, pinned it, did it.  I've been pretty crafty this week and have a long list of things to make for the holidays.  This turkey wreath was my number one goal to finish this week, since Thanksgiving is right around the corner.  It was so easy to make, honestly took me less than an hour.  I'm more than pleased with how it turned out.   My Creation The Pinspiration Source: babyrabies.com via Leah on Pinterest What I did different: Instead of buying anything for this project, I used card stock.  I used card stock for ... read more
