sharing my passion for all things home
Christmas is over and I'm itching to get started on some new projects. But, first, I wanted to go back to see a little of what I accomplished in 2013. Here's a quick re-cap of some of my favorite makeovers and projects this past year: 1. Tween Girl's Room Makeover: My daughter and I worked on this room together -- she … [Read more...]
I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season! I had all of these grand plans to blog over the holiday, but it has been so busy! I've been relaxing, planning projects and trying to get organized. My Christmas decor is still up and it will be until the New Year. I might even share a few more pictures of it because I got some … [Read more...]
I like to make holiday meals a little special and fun. I think one of the easiest ways to do that is to put something different on the holiday table -- something like Christmas crackers. Have you every used these before? If you're unfamiliar, they're little packages filled with tiny trinkets, a paper crown and maybe even a quote or a piece of … [Read more...]

Today, I'm not only sharing a round-up of those fantastic recipes, but we're offering a link party for you to share your favorite cookie recipes! The link party … [Read more...]
I'm a little embarrassed to admit it but, when I showed you my holiday home tour last week, it wasn't completely done. I still had a few tweaks and finishing touches to make when I got hit by a stomach bug which had me down for a couple of days. By the time I was back on my feet -- sort of -- I didn't have time to get it all done in time … [Read more...]
Do you love cookies as much as I do? Today is going to be a lot fun for me because I'm sharing a cherished cookie recipe as a part of this wonderful "virtual" cookie exchange: Some people are sentimental about things, others are sentimental about holidays but I am really sentimental about food. I know, it may sound weird, but eating, … [Read more...]

Fa la la la la! Tis the season for crafting and making fun hand-made things to add to my Christmas decor. I absolutely love making crafts at Christmas time. And, honestly, I can't remember a time when I didn't make Christmas crafts each year. That's why being a part of the "Creating a Handmade Christmas" holiday tour was a … [Read more...]
I absolutely love the fresh greenery of Christmas. And, I especially love fresh Christmas wreaths made from evergreen cuttings. Sure, I could buy them, but it doesn't feel quite like Christmas without a craft or two and it costs next to nothing to make them yourself. I made a couple of green cypress wreaths for my front porch for about … [Read more...]
There are two things that I love in the world of home blogs: the holiday season and home tours. So, what could be better than both of my favorite things all rolled in to one? Today, I am so excited to be participating in a holiday home tour that is kicking off today. I'm joining 29 other bloggers this week who are sharing their homes all … [Read more...]
