Last week my daughter turned 11 and I threw her a Bubblegum Party at the ‘Candy Escape Room’. Her name is Aurora but she also goes by, ‘Bubblegum’, or at least that is what she went by as a baby to an older toddler. She mainly goes by Aurora but at random we’ll still call …
LOVE with Family
I grew up near Big Cottonwood Canyon in Utah. I lived just a few-minute walk away from the bus stop that took me to my all time favorite ski resort, Brighton. When I was in Jr. High school we were able to buy $50 student seasons passes. I scraped together the money for a pass …
Christmas 2024 I decorated a Peace on Earth Themed Mantel. If you want to see a close up shot of the mantel please watch the 2024 Christmas Home Tour video of it found on this page. You can fast forward to 2:45; that is where I show a close up of the mantel. I tied …
2024 Christmas themed tablescape for kids was Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Every year I host a Christmas party for my husband’s family. I love choosing specific themes. Especially if they are cute, fun and nostaglic. I choose Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. I remember growing up each Christmas a TV specials calendar would be released. …
Christmas Nativity Tablescape I am playing catch up on posts I should have gotten to last year. This tablescape is one I did for Christmas 2024.

Candle Thanksgiving Mantel. Here’s how I decorated my mantel for Thanksgiving in 2023. I love decorating for holidays however, I didn’t use to. For many years, I’d decorate by putting the same item in the same area every year. I started to get burned out and bored with decorating. Then I decided I would make …
Hello Kitty Birthday Party My daughter Amelia turned six and we had a Hello Kitty birthday party for her. We held the party at a jump house called Kangaroo Zoo, and they allowed us to pick our party room and so I kind of planned the colors around their existing decor. Since she has always …
Our kids had Grogu, BB8, Rey, and Mandalorian Costumes (Halloween 2021). Usually, I make one if not all of my kid’s costumes but since we are in the midst of a remodel and I’ve been crunched for time, I bought them. The star of the show this year was our 6 month old boy, Brighton. …
Modern Rustic Thanksgiving Mantel Thanksgiving is a few weeks away and I’m getting a late start on decorating. I haven’t even brought the official Thanksgiving/Fall decor bins up from our storage room in the basement. Yesterday, I took down this Halloween Spider-Themed mantel decor and was looking at our blank mantelpiece wondering how I should …
Pampas Thanksgiving Door Decor This is my Thanksgiving door decor this year (2023). I love the autumn colors. In fact, viewing fall colors is one of my favorite things to do. The trees in front of my home have turned a beautiful orange and yellow and match my copper gutters. I sealed the gutters (tutorial …
