So I’ve been seeing all these posts floating around about an awesome idea to read a Christmas story every night before bed. As I let my mind wander and think about how fun it would be sitting in our pajammies and sipping tea while listening to a Christmas story each night, I came to the…

At this time of year, I just run out of ideas. Sometimes, I just can’t think of something! I don’t enjoy getting gifts….just to get gifts. I like to take the time and make it memorable! I like the person receiving my gift to think to themselves, “this rocks!” My job is done when I…
With just over two weeks left in the Christmas season, my family is knee deep in holiday traditions. And. I. Love. It! Yes, it can be busy and hectic at times, but even the kitchen covered in cookie making messes is worth it! Earlier this season I shared with you one of my favorite Christmas…
Are you in the holiday spirit yet? For us, it doesn’t come until after the tree is up and decorated. As you noticed, we were a little behind on getting our cards done this year. I couldn’t stop with just that, we were behind on getting the tree decorated as well. Decorating the house for Christmas…

If you remember when I shared about my new favorite back-to-school workbooks for my children, you might also remember that I discovered them in a fantastic bookshop in Athens, Ga called Avid Bookshop. A few weeks ago I discovered a very exciting thing about Avid. They have a book subscription program! With this service you’ll…
Snuggling up and reading a Christmas story surrounded by the lights of the Christmas tree is our new favorite family tradition! My little guy eagerly anticipates pulling a book from the “Christmas basket” each night and sitting in my lap while I read a bedtime story to him. I love filling his thoughts with…
I love sending out Christmas cards each year. Not only do I send cards to friends and relatives, but I also keep a card for each child so they will be able to look back at each of our yearly cards. With young kids, each card looks so different than the one before. What a…
In October, I shared Chasing Fireflies with you all. My little ladies sported some seriously adorable costumes this year (and last too if you missed that post, or if you are a newer reader!!) Every single time I have purchased with or been gifted items from Chasing Fireflies, I have loved it all! Not once…
Christmas-time babies are so much fun! There’s few things sweeter than a newborn baby at Christmas. My oldest daughter was just four weeks old when we celebrated her first Christmas! But shopping for a newborn or expectant mother during the holidays can be quite tricky. After all, you know they’ll get most of the items…
