The perfect recipe for romance: soft music, chocolates and a whole lotta love. …

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…

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…

Christmas Past
Welcome to the second month of Town and Country Living’s Cozy Living Series! I am excited to have the opportunity to join these talented bloggers and share our personal versions of how we do cozy throughout the year. And what is a cozier time than this? This is my favorite time of year! It has changed a lot around our house with three little ones and become much more colorful, fun, and I’ll admit it: even a bit cheesy. Not even kidding…we have a huge inflatable elf in our yard as I type. The kids love it. I am still working on getting our house decked out for this Christmas…

How We Gave Thanks
I hope everyone who celebrated Thanksgiving last week had a wonderful time with family and friends! We hosted for the first time in our new home with my mom, step-dad and aunt and uncle. It was a small gathering compared to what we are used to, but it was a great time overall. Not stressful or hurried. Just peaceful and filled with good food, kindness, laughter and joy. The kids were very excited to wake up and watch the parade. A tradition I have always enjoyed. Even if I don’t fully watch it, I like it on in the background. Hazel and Owen love the balloons. So much so that…
