This month I set out to make my Halloween door decoration this year, I decided to make it a little more challenging for myself. I love crafts and I LOVE Halloween, and I tend to go a tad overboard with things. So this year I challenged myself to make a…
I love to plan parties. I often joke that my love language is party planning. I had a theme in mind for my twins’ first birthday party before they were born, and while my memories of the last few years are slightly fuzzy, I’m pretty sure I decided on the…
I had so much fun making my Back to School Door Decoration that I decided to do another one for football season. I immediately ran into a stumbling block, though: which team? You see, I live in south Louisiana and there’s almost nothing we love more than football. I’m an…
For the first time ever I convinced my husband to take his vacation in the summer. He works for an AC/Heating company and this is the first year he hasn’t worked in the field and was able to do so. We had originally planned a staycation but as it got…
