Dollar Tree Fall Haul and DIYs
This year was the first that I was truly disappointed in the fall section at Dollar Tree (if I’m being totally honest). It was underwhelming and stocked with droves of chitzy stuff that seemed a waste of a dollar. FEAR NOT! That makes for a great opportunity to create your own gorgeous fall decor. While standing alone these items are nothing to write home about, together with a bit of glam-factor, they can be a beautiful addition to your home (or kitchen! or hair-styling routine!)
Looking for Krylon Looking Glass Spray Paint? Yes, it’s expensive everywhere, but a little bit goes a long, long way!

Easter Vlog!
I love being able to share some more personal moment with you, and I love daily vlogs, because of all of the videos I make, I actually look back upon these frequently. To remember what life was like. Things change so quickly with little ones, and these moments are so special I never want to forget them.
Happy Easter, everyone! God bless. He reigns!
Valentine’s Toddler Craft | “Stained Glass” Windows
I love getting crafty during the week with Carson. That hands-on time is so important for filling our day (and I really think it helps him rest better for naps and a night!). One of my favorite go-tos for craft ideas is the Dollar Tree.
They sell self laminating sheets (5 for $1) and they make awesome stained glass windows with tissue paper!

Store & Organize Christmas Lights | 6 Easy Tips
My grandmother always said you can tell a person’s true character by seeing how they deal with two things: lost luggage and tangled Christmas lights.
Lucky for you, you will never again have to deal with the latter 😉
Here are my 6 favorite tips for storing Christmas lights and decorations in general. I hope they inspire you and help you for next year (and this year!)
I don’t know about you, but I always struggle so much to take my lights down. It always make me so sad. The clutter of the decor I am always ready to ditch, but the lights. Man, I just love ’em.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

BUDGET GIFT-WRAP ORGANIZATION & STORAGE
I LOVE how we have stored our gift wrap for the last year. It works. And it’s cheap. All you need is the back of a coat closet or spare bedroom closet, some Clear Vinyl Storage Garment Covers and some gift wrap! Bodda-big-botta-bang! Done.
Cheap, easy, and you will not regret it! How do you like to store your gift wrap?
JUST 5 PRESENTS FOR CHRISTMAS
What’s your stance on Christmas gift-giving? We are celebrating the birth of our savior, and I think simplicity is perfect. So, this year we settled on a 5 gift limit (this seems like a lot to me!!). We set a $70 budget and came in at $60.
