Fun fact: My sister is a photographer. What can I say? The creative gene runs in our blood. Since we're neighbors, she offered to take some family photos for us and to say I'm thankful is an understatement. I'm excited to display them in our home for years to come to remember this season of life. I get emotional when I think about it too much, haha. Honestly, I love having photos of us/loved ones to cherish and look at every day. I particularly love getting them around the holidays. These ...

Artificial Christmas Trees Under $200
I had a slight epiphany this year and realized I wanted to invest in an artificial Christmas tree. In the past, Eli & I have always opted for a real tree. While I love the look (& smell) of a real tree, they've been a bit more of a hassle than I really wanted this year. I was hoping to avoid the clean-up and constant watering with a beautiful faux tree option instead! After browsing the internet, I found lots of options that I wanted to share with you guys in case you're in the ...

I figured that one last DIY for the season couldn't hurt, especially if it costs under $10! Here's how I did this mod podge pumpkin DIY project on a budget.

Simple Thanksgiving Tablescape
Never have I ever decorated for Thanksgiving. Are you as shocked as I am? In the past, I've just kept my fall decor around for Thanksgiving but this year I wanted to put together a simple and earthy tablescape. The inspiration behind this table decorating: The painted leaf stoneware.

Instantly, I loved the brown/rust color of the hand-painted ...
