How to Make Easy European Farmhouse Style Christmas Ornaments
Sometimes in this rat race, I call my life I can get so wrapped up in doing "all the things" and then when I look back I was so focused on the "doing" that I wasn't actually "being". This is actually part of the reason I wanted to make these Christmas ornaments so much.

How to Hang Christmas Garland on Stairs| Easy & Beautiful
Hanging Christmas garland on the stairs is easy and adds so much Christmas magic, which is why it’s one of the first things I decorated! Is it me or does a staircase decorated with garland have such a magical effect? There is just something classic and simple about a banister with Christmas garland draped on it. We don’t have a long banister on our stairs, but we have one. So I have to drape it with garland to usher in the Christmas season. Last year one of the first things I did was a DIY Christmas wreath and some evergreen swags. Basically, anything with greenery is first on my Christmas…

Mint and Pink Floral Shared Girl Bedroom | Beautiful & Functional
I’m so excited to finally get to reveal the final phase of our shared girl bedroom with you! It’s the perfect balance of function and beauty. It’s been a long time coming. We worked so hard to get it done before Summer arrived, but unfortunately, we didn’t meet that deadline.

But, now that the garden is winding down and we are almost ready to start cleaning up the yard for winter, we decided it was a perfect time to pick up where we left off.

How We Ended Up with This Cabinet Last week I shared about our adoption. If you missed it go check it out! We finally know if we’re having a boy or girl! But because we are getting closer and closer to bringing home our baby, I am starting to “nest”. I fought it with my first two. People would tell me I was “nesting” and I’d be like, “No way!

This is that cabinet I bought at my favorite vintage shop in town a few weeks ago. When I first brought it home I shared a post about what we think it is and why I love it so much.
