I’ve shown you the fireplace mantel and our advent tree, so figured I’d continue the Christmas tour of our home. 🙂 Today’s stop is the dining room! I kept it super simple because that’s what I like and what is comfortable to live with. We eat dinner in our dining room, so I knew whatever […]
Christmas 2013 Mantel
I’m so so so excited to share our fireplace mantel with you! It may not seem that exciting to you, but let me tell you, I’m ecstatic about it! If you read this blog, I’m sure you’ve gleaned that we try to be very frugal. We will wait..and wait and wait and wait…to buy things […]
Advent Tree
I’m so excited it’s finally Christmas time! It’s my favorite time of year! We picked and decorated our tree the day after Thanksgiving and have been busily decking out the rest of the house in Christmas decor! Love it! Now that our little man is getting older and understands what Christmas is all about, we’ve […]
Christmas Snapshot
Happy New Year! Hope you all had a fantastic Christmas! Hubby has had the past 2 weeks off which has been glorious! I was so sad to see him go back to work yesterday. 🙁 We had a really nice Christmas at home this year! I was sad to take all the decorations down, especially […]
White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge

Enjoy the recipe! Ingredients: -1/4 cup butter, softened plus about 1 1/2 tsp butter for greasing the pan […]
Soft Christmas Cookies

Christmas Tree Crafts
As I was decorating our fireplace mantel, I was struggling to find something large to put up on one side. I was thinking about doing these wire trees, but was afraid they wouldn’t feel substantial enough for our oversized fireplace. My friend Amy posted a picture of her fireplace and I caught a glimpse of […]
DIY Christmas Tree Skirt
Last year on after Christmas sales, we snagged a big variety box of silver ornaments at Target for 50-75% off. I’m really loving the silver on our tree this year! Bad news, though, for our $6 gold, cheapie Christmas tree skirt that we bought our first married Christmas. It looked awful with the silver/red Christmas […]
Sweet and Simple Christmas Centerpiece
It’s starting to look a lot like Christmas at our house! I still can’t believe it’s already time to put up Christmas decorations, though. I feel like it’s still July… I’ll post later about our tree soon, but in the meantime, I’ll show you our table centerpiece. Ta da! I left the table runner I […]
