This is my 2025 Traditional Christmas Mantel Design. My favorite part about this design is having the nativity front and center. I did this last year and I absolutely loved it! While I try to change up my decor each year. Going forward, I’d like to always keep a nativity or something to remind my …

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 …
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 …

Catching up on 2024 Christmas… this is an Elf on the Shelf scene I didn’t post last year. I have a few I missed because the days were spent mostly with family. Years ago my kids came home from elementary begging for me to ask Santa for an Elf on the Shelf. They were sad …
