To try to atone for our misdeeds, I have compiled a lovely collection of Easter decor. I know, [...]

Baby you’re much too fast…..
Are you totally lost? Don’t worry, I’m known for random tangents and awkward segue {Case in point – I learned how to spell “segue” while sitting next to G in a COLLEGE lecture. He wrote it in his notes {yes, I was reading over his shoulder}. Previously I was sure it [...]

Check out this house near my parents’ – these photos don’t really do it justice (G was using our point-and-shoot in the dark, and my father almost ran over him in the process…..) The lights and, um……decor…….are on all sides of the house. Now THAT’S Christmas decorating!

Yes, my loves, welcome to ANOTHER Christmas decor post. Tis the season, and I can’t get enough. The subject of today’s rambling? Garland, of course.

Good morning, lovelies! I thought it was high time to update you on my quest for a neutral, natural Christmas. First, here are a few more photos I’ve tracked down and tucked away for future inspiration.
