Get out your violins, freebs, a sad story is coming. Since our house is still for sale, we are having to skip our annual Halloween party this year…and pretty much any form of fun Halloween decorating. Sigh. I feel like I’m cheating on Halloween with beige. The only perks in this dreary situation is 1) my…
…and POOF! Christmas is over. Did that fly by for anyone else?? Even though we decorated early and tried to squeeze every second out of the Christmas season, it still flew by. It’s been forever and a day since I’ve done a wrap-up post, so I thought I’d start by wrapping up our Christmas week with…
I had 4 or 5 posts that I’ve been dying to get out to you these last few weeks…but as life would have it, there just aren’t enough hours in the day. It KILLS ME to fall behind on blogging. If I could, I would write every day! But I can’t. So I’m learning to…
Let’s be honest…we’re all busy, aren’t we? But whether you like it or not, Christmas is about 2.3 seconds away. (Yay! Freaking out. Hooray! About to cry. Yippee! I think? I can’t decide how to feel…) Lucky for you I’m showing you a whole hoard of adorable, creative, cheap, easy, and simple LAST-MINUTE neighbor gift ideas. Not…
Happy Holidays, everyone! It’s Mel and Steff here from Find it, Make it, Love it. We are thrilled to stop by FCF and share a fun tradition we have for the New Year! As we all know, kids grow up fast. It’s so fun to document some of the little things they like and do from year…
Yesterday I looked at my calendar and it hit me for the first time that December is only a few days away! (yes, I’m a little slow this year. Can you blame me??). I bought our first Advent Calendar on clearance last year. It’s a large door-hanging one with large pockets. I plan to put…
Hey! It’s Mel and Steff back from Find it, Make it, Love it! We are so excited to share this super easy Christmas Advent Calendar with you today! It is seriously the easiest Christmas craft ever – no special skills required, and uses very few materials…all you really need is some cute scrapbook paper to…
EEEEEEEK…Can you feel it? Halloween is COMING! I’ve been a bit on survival mode with Bubba being gone for several months and my being reeeeeally pregnant (only 7 weeks to go! woo hoo!) so I haven’t had two seconds to think about Halloween…until now. Don’t you worry, I plan to bring you tons of fun,…
Howdy! Sorry (yet again) for all the crickets over here. The kids and I decided to take one last spontaneous trip back home to Oregon to visit my folks for Labor Day. Sure, my daughter is missing her first 5 days of preschool (first day of school, whaaaaaa?) but with Daddy being gone for work…
Tonight we enjoyed another fabulous LIVE Q&A! (To see how these work and to see past Q&A’s click HERE). I got a HUGE flood of incredible questions tonight that covered everything from how much to spend on Christmas gifts, anniversary gifts, and babysitting, to paying off debt, budgeting for daycare, and how to afford having…
This post was brought to you by my friends at Walmart, but all writing and opinions are 100% my own. Duh. I have a confession to make…I am THE WORST gift-giver on the planet. No really, like, it’s a miracle I’m still married, bad. So naturally, I break into cold sweats as Father’s Day approaches,…
