Christmas in the Dollhouse
It’s never too late for a holiday home tour in miniature is it? I spent a lot of time getting our dollhouse “just right” for the holidays, but never got around to photographing it till now. I hope you enjoy the tour even though it comes a bit after the holiday season! Our dollhouse has been a work in progress for a couple of years, and still has some rooms that aren’t finished, but I hope to get to work on those as soon as time allows. And we have fun playing with and decorating it no matter how far along we are in the miniature renovation! This post contains…

DIY Countdown to Valentine’s Day
For the past few years, I have made an advent calendar for my children for Christmas. Each year, it has been a little bit different than the one before. They love it so much, that this year, I decided to do one for Valentine’s Day as well. I know I am a bit late in getting this post out there, but I wanted to share it with you anyways in case it might spark some last minute inspiration! This post contains some affiliate links. I may receive a small commission for any sales made through them. For this project, I decided to make handmade paper ornaments to celebrate the holiday…

5 Ways to Beat the Winter Blues (at Home)
Does the time after the holiday season ever get you feeling blue? It does for me. It’s like the bottom falls out after New Year’s and I just don’t know what to do with myself. I miss the music on the radio, the movies on TV, the lights around town. All of the decorations, the magic, the wonder of Christmas is suddenly gone. And we are stuck knee deep in the thick of winter and the long, gray days of…………blah. Well, maybe it’s just because I live outside of Rochester, NY where the sky doesn’t turn blue again until late spring and the snow has been known to stick around through…

Holiday Home 2017
It’s a little late to share a holiday home tour, I know, but better late than never right? My focus the past few Christmases has been on making our home cozy, inviting and festive to create lasting memories for my little ones. Which meant this year, I was going to take the pressure off getting the house camera ready for a holiday home tour post. I signed up for one, but ended up backing out when I knew it was just going to add stress. So here we are…the first week of January and you get to see how I did up our home for the holidays! Haha. I can’t…

Christmas Village Display
Merry Christmas! This month has flown by hasn’t it? I have been busy making our home festive and filled with wonder and excitement. We are keeping things relaxed around here this year for the holidays, so I didn’t share a big “holiday home tour” post earlier in the month. I might share some snippets of how we decorated after the rush has passed, but today, I have one vignette that I really wanted to share with you. I have always loved Christmas villages ever since I was little. The individual pieces are often quite pricey, so it always seemed out of the realm of possibility for my holiday décor. I…

White Farmhouse Christmas Dining Room
Today, I am taking you back in time again to Christmas 2010. I shared the photographs in this post on my former Typepad blog but never ended up transferring several of those posts here when I moved back to Blogger in 2013. This year for Christmas, I am not looking to make things “picture perfect” but rather to make memories for my little ones, so I am taking my time getting our house done for the holidays. It is all a work in progress with fun vignettes here and there and will probably be rearranged by little hands several times over before Christmas. As I focus on making our new…
