$30 Walmart Christmas Tree
Time for part 2 of my Christmas Tree Fail!!! (Click HERE to read) I’ve already mentioned we’re going to chop down a live tree to enjoy this Christmas but until then (since live trees don’t last forever ?) I needed a little something to begin the Holiday season. Who would have thought ol’ Wally World (Walmart) would come to the rescue?! On a side note – Walmart has some major Christmas tree game. ? I left with a 6ft flocked tree for $30. WOAH! Once I got home I thought it was a little short and that I needed to elevate it a bit. So I grabbed an old galvanized bucket and wedged the tree base in the…

Christmas Tree Fail ?
As a blogger, I have these mental visions of exactly how my home should look in every season. I begin planning months out for each season, holiday and event. I’m a planner by nature; nearly to a fault. I. Had. A. Vision. ? Late one September night, Christmas came to me. I saw this gorgeous green tree (To be specific the 9ft tree that was currently in my attic) and it was COVERED in tiny white lights. No ornaments, no sprays and no garland.?? Simply white lights. After explaining the goal for our Christmas tree to Aaron, he became concerned with the amount of light I had in mind for…

Fall/Winter Picture Outfit
It’s that time of year we’re all taking our Fall/Winter pictures. Those same pictures will be sent on a cute Christmas greeting card. Aaron and I do this tradition every year. Mid December I’m always picking up a stack of greeting cards with our image from Walgreen to send to our family and friends. Arranging outfits, picture day, picking out the card design and pressing stamps to those white envelopes.. I enjoy the whole process. Family, friends, coworkers and ex-coworkers will all be seeing these little cards. Needless to say, I wanna look C U T E! Many times I’m on Pinterest looking at adorable outfits weeks before.

Spooky Flying Bats Dining Room Décor
Halloween is nearly here so I decided to play in the (fake) spider webs.? ? Honestly, this was my very first time decorating for Halloween and I had a blast! ? I was inspired to bring elements of the outdoors inside on this project. What I used – Tree Limbs (Our backyard) Clear Fishing Wire Finishing Nails Fake Spider Webs (Target Dollar Spot) Paper Bats (World Market) What I did- We hung tree limbs from our ceiling with clear fish wire and finishing nails. Our goal was to make the tree limbs to look abstract around the chandelier. Next, I intertwined the fake white spider webs into the tree limbs.…
