It was so hard to go back to work this morning after having four wonderful days off! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! The husband and I went up to my mom's lake house for Thanksgiving and my in-laws and sister-in-law joined us too. I was too busy eating to take any photos other than of my mom's adorable country table. And yes, ... Read More

How to Make a Gallery Wall
I'm finally ready to share my gallery wall with you! It's still a work in progress, but for now I LOVE it! First, here it is BEFORE:Nothing really wrong with it...but I never really loved it. I didn't like that large black frame with all the wedding photos in it...and I was sick of black frames. Our house is filled with black frames. Plus this ... Read More
Chevron Pillows

Baby Girl Crafting Extravaganza
Since my best friend Erin is pregnant with a baby girl we decided that during her visit we needed to get our craft on. And boy did we ever. First up was baby clothes dividers for the closet. These are used to separate baby Lexi's clothes according to size (0-3 months, 3-6 months etc.) Probably completely unnecessary but beyond cute regardless. ... Read More
Oh the Weekend….
The weekend went by way too fast. I had the best time with Erin visiting! I wish she lived around the corner from me like in college....instead she's a plane ride away and it makes me sad. So we had to squeeze all of our fun into just a few days. You know what's great about having a best friend visit? You don't have to try hard or impress anyone. ... Read More

Now that it's November it's time to start thinking about our Christmas card! I LOVE sending and receiving Christmas cards.

I'm thinking about making photo books out of them so that we can display cards from ... Read More
