I am not the greatest at decorating. I have always admired people who can decorate and make their homes look super comfy. I wish that I had those skills, but I just do not. I am determined to get better though. I cannot possibly get worse, so there is really nothing to lose. Something that …
Not only has my fireplace made me more of a homebody, but it also has made me a much more avid reader There is nothing like coming home to a nice, toasty house. I’ve always thought of myself as more of a career woman than a stay at home type, but the older I get, …
My husband and I have five beautiful children, and that means we drive a large fifteen passenger van when we go on vacations. We’ve often tried to take trips with the family in our minivan, but it never ends up well. There just isn’t enough space for all seven of us plus our bags and …
I love getting new things! Ever since I was just a little girl, I have loved surprises. I had the best dad in the entire world, and he tried his best to surprise me with something about once a month. It wasn’t always something that he bought, sometimes it was simply something that he made …
