Nothing makes me happier than when our house is decorated for the holidays. "Kozy" nights spent watching Christmas movies next to a brightly lit tree are pretty much my favorite thing ever. I can, by no stretch of the imagination, call myself a home blogger, but I wanted to share some photos from around our house while it is all decorated for Christmas ... Read More
Seeing Santa
This past weekend, we took M&E to see Santa. In an effort to avoid the chaos that is the mall this time of year, we opted for a different approach, and went to see the big guy in his sweet little cottage, downtown. Max was pumped about getting to meet St. Nick, and thrilled at the opportunity to talk to him. Ella seemed to be too... Every time we asked ... Read More

ONE//TWO//THREE FOUR//FIVE//SIX SEVEN//EIGHT//NINE//TEN I've been in the holiday spirit for a bit longer now than I should probably admit. This time of year just makes me so, so happy.

Our Christmas
{via} I've been a bit absent this week. I took a little vacation from the blogging world, if you will. As much as I love using this space to share photos, and ideas, and to talk about all of the items that we love, in addition to about a million and one other random things...

If anyone saw me yesterday, trying to carry boxes to be mailed, a ... Read More

Our Christmas Tree
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to cut down my own Christmas tree. Yet every year, we head to a tree stand, pick out our pre-cut tree, and lug it home to decorate. This year, with Max being 2.5, and finally beginning to comprehend the magic of Christmas, I convinced Mike that we had to make it happen. So, the day after Thanksgiving we bundled up, loaded the ...

It is officially upon us, the MOST wonderful time of the year! I love the holiday season so, so much, I can't even begin to describe the elation I'm feeling over sharing some of my favorite traditions with my babies this year! We had a lovely Thanksgiving, and then basically kicked off Christmas yesterday when we made the trip to the tree farm to cut down our tree. I have ... Read More
