My Christmas gift from my (well, one of my sets of) parents this year was a new kitchen table. Let me just tell you: It is all kinds of awesome. Oh and we’re talking about the table today, not the kitchen, so just ignore the mess! This is exactly the big heavy table with black […]

I finally have a solution to my no mantel/no stocking holders issue! Yeah, I could just buy some stocking holders and stick them on the fantel, but I never seem to find any I like and it doesn’t seem like very much fun to be out $100 for something that I’m not that excited about. […]

When I look back on pictures of our house from Christmas last year, I really think it looks kind of sad and pathetic.I mean, that’s good right? It means we’re making progress and the house is coming along! The only thing is, I don’t think it’s entirely accurate and that kind of bugs me. I […]

OK, so you may think it’s a little late to be sharing ornaments seeing as most people probably have had their tree up and decorated for a few weeks now, but hear me out! I saw at least 3 different trucks with trees in the back this weekend. And those are just the “real tree” […]

My friends, I have never owned a tree skirt. I’ve always just bunched up a length of whatever fabric I could find that looked good or a table cloth into a sort of fluffy tree-base cloud. It’s always been fine, especially because it usually lasts about 5 days until it’s all covered by presents anyway. […]

Can you believe I’m in a for real actual live (e)cookbook? I mean, yeah, I feed my family and bake a tray of cookies every once in awhile, but a food blogger, I am not. Not even close! You know what the kicker is? It’s a really really good e-cookbook. It’s filled with tasty recipes, […]

Red and white at Christmas is my very favorite. So why do I use so many other color-schemes too? Well, I also love those and I just want to enjoy it all, but red and white is at the top of the list. I picked up just two of these snowflake napkins at Target last […]

Well, I realize the time for advent calendars started five days ago, but I wanted to share this fun idea today anyway. If you still want to make something like this, you could even do a 12 days of Christmas thing and have plenty of time left this year to get it together. Let me […]
