creating home. inspiring you.
Hey there friends! Â Today’s post is not about any of the DIY projects that are always never-ending. I don’t have any crafty creations up my sleeves, and I’m not slaving away in the kitchen over the next Iron Chef recipe. Â Nope, none of that happened today, because I’m the mom. The mom of a sick toddler.

With the new year and new goals, comes a new budget plan! I know a lot of us are making our lists of all the goals we want to accomplish this year. And if you’re like me (I feel for ya!) ;) I’m ready to get the ball rolling on some new projects and knock a few things off the long list of to-dos. Some of your goals may involve beautifying your home (so that we can all be on {Read More}
It’s hard to believe that we are winding down another year! While I am already planning our goals and New Year resolutions for 2013, we are still taking time to celebrate this time with family before the holiday decorations are packed away for the year. It’s an annual tradition. Every year we travel to middle Tennessee to visit with family. We spend the first night around the table enjoying some good ol’ southern home-cooked food. Later that night, we gather {Read More}
From our home to yours, we would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas! I hope you have all the blessings you desire and that your holidays are safe and full of joy. I took some time out this morning for a little reading (Luke 2: 9-11) and once again have found inspiration and encouragement. This year and especially the past few weeks have been difficult for so many. At times, it has seemed less than a hopeful holiday season and {Read More}
I’m so happy that I managed to finish our advent calendar before December 1st! Â This is our first year doing an advent calendar. Our daughter is 18 months old so I wanted to keep it simple, fun, and meaningful. This is the start of a new Christmas family tradition! This was so easy to make and some of the items used were already in my craft supply. I used Martha Stewart’s Christmas tag pad and foam letter “thickers” for each {Read More}
It seems like it’s been forevahhh since my last post! I took a few days off to enjoy the holiday and focus on the family. It was such a wonderful time! We even got going on some Christmas decorating and few fun activities to help us get in the holiday spirit! (As if I really need much help… I loooove Christmas!) This weekend we went to the Fantasy of Trees event. This event has been a holiday tradition in East {Read More}
It’s finally here and yet, I still feel like Thanksgiving has come so fast! I’m really looking forward to celebrating the holidays this year and spending some good time with the family. Funny thing happens as you get older – you start to realize how precious this time is! We’ve already had one Thanksgiving dinner this year and it was a beautiful day! Here are just a few pictures to share from our special day. These pictures were taken at {Read More}
Hey hey hey!! How’s your week been? For the first time in a while, I’ve not had a lot of projects going on. With the transition of taking out the Halloween and bringing in the Thanksgiving, things have been kinda busy. Â But today, I may be undertaking my biggest project ever! Potty training. Yep, you read that right. No DIY projects today folks. Sorry! No frills and thrills of home decor or crafty skills going on. I will be staying {Read More}
This weekend was a great time for us to get out and enjoy the fall activities. One thing on our Fall to do list was to visit the pumpkin patch. This was our little girl’s first trip to a pumpkin patch and now I think we’ve started a new tradition! We visited Oakes Farm in Corryton, Tennessee – about an hour away from home. Soooo many pumpkins and lots of things to do for the family! We spent the day {Read More}
