Christmas Home Tour!

Our house has been beautified for the holidays since the day after Thanksgiving! Inviting you inside has been long overdue!

But I was determined to find an alternative...so I was on

We're Ready for Halloween!

I know, I know...we're not even through September yet and I'm talking about October and Halloween. But I'm super excited this year as Ilah is older and she can have a little fun getting dressed up and toting her Halloween treat bag around ; )Towards the beginning of the year, my mother-in-law bought Ilah a Halloween outfit on clearance at Dillards after Halloween was over. It's not a "costume"
