There a bunch of blog “carnivals” out there featuring people showing off their Christmas decor, so I thought I would play along. My house is definitely imperfectly decorated, but there are also many parts of my Christmas decor that I love and am happy to share with you! It’s photorific, so go grab a...
*** Reminder: I’m giving away a beautiful necklace, courtesy of Tracey Jolley Designs – check it out!! *** We love Christmas music — maybe not in the malls in September, but in our home. It’s nice to have on while bustling about with all the holiday preparations. I thought I would share some of...
Tis the season! November is so busy, December always seems to sneak up on me. But we love our advent calendars, so I have to dig out the Christmas stuff in time for the kids to open them up. We have three different advent calendars in our house, which works works well now that...
We snuck in one last “Christmas” tradition tonight by driving out to see the Bull Run “Festival of Lights”. (my pictures got a little blurrier when we were moving).

Who’s cooking Christmas dinner? (raises hand). I feel like I’ve been slow to get started this December, but the menu is finally set, the groceries shopped, and much of the prep work done! This year’s menu is not too different from the last few. We like what we like and don’t want to mess...
After attending a cookie exchange party hosted by friends from church, I decided to host my own and invite friends and neighbors to attend. I had the party last night and it was a great success! Everyone brought lots of delicious cookies and their recipes and we exchanged, each ending up with a delicious...
