I am that mom that gets very into valentines every year. It’s a tad bit ridiculous, but I can’t help it. I still remember my excitement making my valentine’s day box as a kid. My thrill for this holiday has lasted, and as an adult, I love getting creative with all of the puns and […]

How are you all doing? Hanging in there? We have our great days, and our not-so-great days. Our days filled with different activities, and days when all I want to do is sleep or get housework done.

I’m a sucker for bunny ears this time of year. The kids always look SO adorable in them. Target sells them every year, but to be honest, I wasn’t crazy about what they had at the stores near me. There are so many cute small shops that make the most gorgeous floral ears, but because […]

Now that all of the Thanksgiving craziness is over, it’s time to start thinking about the most wonderful time of the year and I couldn’t be more excited. As much as I loved preparing Thanksgiving food for a month straight (thanks to the blog!), I’m looking forward to focusing more on the magic and joy […]

Nothing says I love you more than a heart-shaped box filled with goodies -am I right? Along with baking buttermilk pink donuts, I decided I’m going to start a tradition of giving my loves their own Valentine’s Day box each year. The idea came to me after giving Peyton her first box last year. I […]
