Original and Meaningful Family Tradition: Passing On A Legacy of Love
Every year, in preparation for Thanksgiving Day, my family holds “Baking Day”. This began a few years ago and has become very important to our family. This is one of our most meaningful family traditions and is nearly prized as much as Thanksgiving Day itself. Thanksgiving Day has changed over the years. Especially now that we kids grew up and started families of our own. I remember Thanksgiving Days with over 40 people in my parents’ house. I remember Thanksgivings where I spent half the day with Mom and the other half with Dad. Now my husband and I alternate Thanksgiving between his family and my family every other year.…

A Simple & Beautiful Thanksgiving Table to Inspire Conversation
Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays around here. We gather with our friends & family and enjoy delicious food while we engage in fun conversation. So I created a Thanksgiving table that inspires more of this. We have been honored to host Thanksgiving at our house a couple times since we moved back home. We love every minute of having family over for the day. Although, I’m not sure my family enjoyed being at my house for Thanksgiving! Two years ago, I made them all drop their phone in a basket as they entered the house, and then I took the basket away and we literally spent the entire…

A World Where There are Octobers: An Ohio October Picnic
Winter is quickly approaching, so I’ve been doing my best to prioritize outdoor time with the family. One of the easiest ways I can ensure we do that is by eating dinner outside. I put together a fun October Picnic with all the Fall necessities, hoping and praying that it’s not our last picnic before the snow! I can’t get enough outside activities in the Fall. This year we’ve been less busy with Fall festivities than usual, BUT to make up for it, we have been eating dinner outside quite a bit. Today I want to share a fun outdoor picnic I put together for the “A World Where There…

How to Create A Dried Floral Wreath Reflecting Creation
Lately, I’ve been enamored with creation. Fall is just so beautiful, cozy, and calm and I wanted to bring that into our home for our Fall decor. So I decided to DIY a dried floral wreath. The Inspiration In the recent Fall Home Tour, I shared a super simple wreath I made from a leaf garland. I like it, but it wasn’t created from leaves I found outside. You know me, I love bringing the outdoors in for my decor. I kept seeing all these beautiful and neutral grasses blowing in the wind EVERYWHERE I went. But every time I asked my husband if he thought the strangers who owned…

A Simple & Romantic Fall Picnic that Reflects the Season
Having quality one-on-one time is something my husband and I have struggled with since having children. But recently, the girls had a slumber party at gramma and paps house. I knew I wanted to do something special for Justin to remind him amid the busy schedules and honey-do-lists, he is still my number one. Summer picnics are a ton of fun, but I prefer a picnic when its cooler. The truth is I prefer cooler days to HOT days all the time. When Summer begins to turn to Fall I throw parties! Fall is such a beautiful time to be sitting outside taking in all that nature has to offer.…

I wanted to share some time management tips that have been the biggest help to me managing my schedule instead of my schedule managing me. Time management is such a tricky thing, isn’t it? We want to fit all the things into each day, but we never have enough time. In an effort to offer some encouragement, I thought I’d share my favorite tips to reach goals yet keep your sanity. I’ve learned if I squeeze nothing but productivity out of my days I become drained and exhausted. But, if I let my schedule run wild I look back and realize I didn’t get anything done.
