Ohmygosh, I am so happy that I splurged on a ten dollar box of ornaments last year! I bought them on a Black Friday sale and was debating about the price but hello, cheapskate me, just $10 for a whole box of ornaments!? I know…why did I even hesitate?! The important thing is that I’m [...]
It’s hard to shop for certain people, isn’t it? I love my dad but I feel like I can never get him just the right thing to let him know how I feel. And my mom..don’t get me started! She’d be happy with a 12 pack of Diet Coke, lol! I thought it’d be fun [...]
We’ve decorated with embroidery hoops before. I mean, why not?-it’s not like we know what their real purpose is for, lol! This was an easy craft to create…I wanted to use a pretty piece of white fabric for my backing. Buuut, my 9 year old daughter had chopped up my last scrap to make mini [...]
I’ve never done an advent calendar or Christmas countdown, what kind of mother am I?! I finally made one and love it! My kids will now know when Christmas is for themselves and will have fun taking turns moving the magnet! We thought it’d be fun to gather all the 2012 advents we’ve seen in [...]
It’s about time I make a Christmas countdown calendar for my kiddos since my oldest is pushing 10! I love all the fun advents out there but since we travel to Utah for the holidays, it would be difficult to transport. And anyway, AZ is so hot…the chocolate ones would be eaten by me melt [...]
I love the holidays! Family, food, the spirit of Christ/Christmas in the air and DESSERT!!

My family attended a neighborhood trunk-or-treat Halloween party this weekend. It was so fun seeing all the kids we attend church with dressed up as their favorite characters.

It’s an awesome go-to site!) We created a simple Halloween project that was not only inexpensive, [...]
Well y’all, it’s officially FALL for me in northern Arizona. [For Kelli, much to her relief, it's still warm summer-ish weather with cool nights in central AZ.] But fall for me equals scarfs, cardi’s and flats: my fav! I saw this easy peasy tutorial on Sweet Verbena to make an single loop infinity scarf so [...]
