Favorite Holiday Films
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, my favorite place to be during the holidays is snuggled up on my couch with a warm blanket, a cup of tea, my husband, my cat while watching a Christmas movie! I have watched many Christmas movies over the years and there are those select few that I always have to watch! I thought it would be fun to share with you some of my favorite films to watch during this time of year! Christmas Vacation “Surprised, Eddie?… If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn’t be more surprised.” Clark Griswold, Christmas Vacation Nothing kicks…

Decorating for Halloween
If you know me or have looked at my Instagram around the holidays you would know that I LOVE decorating. Beginning in September I get all my fall dΓ©cor out and mix it in with my Halloween decorations! My philosophy with decorations is to ALWAYS go for the bargain unless there is a piece that you absolutely love and cannot live without. The clearance section and the discount bins at stores like JoAnnβs, Michaels, and Target are my jam for every decorating occasion! I also like to do holiday crafts when time permits. I donβt really have a theme when it comes to my decorating, I just use what I…

Our Houseplants
Over the last year we have acquired a small collection of house plants. There is something about live plants in the house that makes it feel more welcoming and comfortable. If I had it my way our house would look more like a jungle! I am loving the ones we have now and am really looking forward to adding some new ones in the coming year!

My Bookshelf Tour
Seeing as part of one of my resolutions is to read for 30 minutes before bed, I thought it would be fitting to take a little tour of my bookshelf. My dad made this for my brother for Christmas a long time ago. As we got older my book collection kept growing so we swapped bookshelves. Over the years I have given many away and bought even more. This last year I discovered the delights of thrift store book shopping ($5 for a book that would have been $20?!?!?). Many of these have been read but there are some that I still have to work through. So…without further ado here…

Our Backyard
As a kid I was really lucky to live at a house with a big backyard. My dad has done a lot with his yard over the years and it is still one of my favorite parts of his property in Covington. When Jake and I started looking for a house to buy a few years ago one of our wishes was to have a big backyard where we could entertain guests and plant a garden. I think the second I walked out the back sliding door of this house I was in love. It’s a beautiful oasis in this suburban area that has grown by leaps and bounds as…

Our Garden 2017
Some of my fondest memories as a kid were spent out in the backyard helping my dad with the garden during the spring and summer months. My dad has quite the green thumb and his gardens have gotten better and better each year. Since I was young I have always dreamed about growing my own vegetables when I was lucky enough to have my own house. Years later and here we are. I am still learning a lot about gardening and we have two small raised beds and I think it’s a great place to start. I have also branched out to growing things in pots as well. To me,…
