Ohhhh how I love Thanksgiving! When I was a kid, it meant we were finally allowed to listen to Christmas music in the house (after dinner, of course – my mom always believed in One Holiday at a Time!). It’s a little different now…we usually host at our house and there’s a lot of prep …
Now is a good time to announce that I wrote a book, y’all. I am so excited about it (like, sooooo excited…I’ve wanted to be an author since I was eight-years-old!). I got to make lots of fun stuff for it, and one of the things I made was this set of printable vision board …

I love to read, which you probably know if you are a return reader…I love talking about books! And you also may know that I love Outlander. This post contains affiliate links. The Outlander series books by Diana Gabaldon are, without a doubt, my favorite books. Whenever I finish one, I feel a giant black …
Halloween. Is. Almost. Here. I feel like Halloween is the gateway to Christmas, and for that, I love it. But I also love it because my kids love it. Before I had kids, I wasn’t super excited about Halloween – we didn’t get trick-or-treaters where we lived at the time, and it just seemed like …
