Welcome Fall Party

If having a Welcome Fall party wasn’t a thing, this year I certainly made it one! I’ve been wanting to throw a little shindig like this for ages and I’m so thankful for my in-laws for lending me their space to do it! This is another one of those posts where the pictures did not […]

DIY Painted Mugs & Vase

Note: the paint used in this tutorial is non-toxic but not food safe. It is not recommended to paint where your mouth will go on the mug. Of course I learned that after painting mine, so I’m helping you to learn from my mistakes! I was itching to get creative and after remembering we had […]

March Book of the Month | 2014

Last year I started my series of reading a book a month, attempting to read books that had long been stashed in my personal library.

It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

I must admit that I am arriving very late to the party with Charlie Brown. I would occasionally catch the specials on t.v. while growing up, but for whatever reason it never became a big priority during the Fall season or Holiday season as catching Hocus Pocus or Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Those […]

Things From My Childhood | T.V. Shows Part 1

I figured I would pause on the Fall related topics and move onto something fun and nostalgic. Nostalgia is one of my favorite things and I love to look back on when I was little and see fun reminders of growing up. Thanks to Youtube, we can view all of our favorite old shows (even […]
