Because I’m a wee bit crazy and because I looooooove decorating and decorating for parties – I volunteered to help out with the decor for our church’s annual Women’s Christmas Event. The wee bit crazy part is because I kind of, sort of forgot that Christmas is like thebusiesttimeoftheyear. But it’s okay because it all [...] Read more »
My {Hypothetical} Thanksgiving Table
I’m not hosting Thanksgiving this year, but because I’m a little bit zany, I thought it would be fun to set a small Thanksgiving table just for kicks! Welcome to my rustic, nature-inspired, elegant Thanksgiving! {Food pickin’s are slim, but we do have mixed nuts and chocolate…} First, I decided on who of my fake [...] Read more »
Party Like It’s 1981 {Or 30 Years Later}
Cue the disco ball, ya’ll… I turned 30 on Sunday. {Sarah and I are birthday twins!! So cool!} And, yep, it’s a little strange. {Yep, it’s taken in my visor mirror in the car. No worries, Nolan was driving.} I mean really, really it’s not that big of a deal. But I admit, it’s going [...] Read more »

Jenna Doings and Sweet & Simple Coffee Invites
Do you ever feel like you’ve got a pretty empty plate, then *bam* it’s all filled up and your head is spinning wondering what happened? That was me these last couple of weeks.

Snake Guy Photo-Op {a how to of sorts}
Sarah sent me this link to a do-it-yourself cardboard cutout photo-op dealie-whopper {yes, I really do talk like that} as an idea for T’s party. When I first saw it, I was totally like “nah, that’s far too much work.” But…once the idea rattled around in my brain a little bit, I knew I had [...] Read more »
