Merry Christmas

No matter what you’re doing, or how you do it, I hope this Christmas puts a smile on your face and warms your heart. We are having a great Christmas already with Lily taking on everything from baking Christmas cookies to saying Ho Ho Ho. I’m sure that come Christmas morning, she’ll be more than […]

Let It Snow Mat Wallpaper

We have a pretty cool Christmas snowman doormat and thought that it’d make a nice desktop wallpaper too. So I took a picture. Instead of re-sizing it, I just uploaded the full size picture (3264 x 2448) for everyone to enjoy. Feel free to re-size it as you need to. You can grab it on […]

Are these festive?

Do Christmas lights need to be on the tree or are they fine in a pile on the floor?

Protecting the Christmas tree from Lily & the cats

Christmas is a fun time of the year, but having a little girl pulling ornaments off the tree, or taking it down, isn’t one of the fun parts. That’s why we put a gate around our Christmas tree. We purchased a North States Superyard XT Gate Play Yard and wrapped it around the tree. It fits nicely and […]

I’m thankful for Thanksgiving with the family.

Plus there will be all the food that I’m sure she’ll just gobble right down. See eats pretty much everything these days. I’m thankful this Thanksgiving, […]
