  • Know me Better 11/10

    Know me Better 11/10

    It’s thursday, time to get to know me better! 
    This is a meme hosted by I Am A Reader Not A Writer
    1: If you were stranded on a desert island what three things would you want with you?  My first thought to this question is always a boat…but I guess that would defeat saying stranded. So I’d want plenty of food, like a cellar in the ground that Jack Sparrow has.  Matches to make fire. And good company, so my family would have to be stranded with me.
    2: What is one book everyone should read?  The Book of Mormon.
    3: If you could have any superpower what would you choose?  I’d be super fast! That way I could clean the house every morning, and then spend the rest of the day crafting, and playing with my kids!
    4: Harry Potter or Twilight?  Harry Potter. I do enjoy the Twilight books, but I’ve only read them once, while I’ve read Harry Potty multiple times.
    5: Gum or breath mints?  breath mints. Chewing gum severely hurts my jaw.

  • Holiday Decorating

    Last week the Princesses were begging me to put up the Christmas tree.  I was baffled, because Halloween was just barely over! But how can you resist 3 cute faces, wanting to help decorate a house?  So we put up the Halloween stuff, and out came the Christmas decor.  We did compromise though, the tree is still packed away!  We don’t have a whole lot of Christmas decor, so I’ve been browsing pinterest for some more inspiration.  Check it out!

    Aren’t these all gorgeous?!  I wish I was hosting a holiday party so I had a reason to cover the chairs all pretty.  The window display I’m changing up a bit and we’re going to hang paper snowflakes in our bay window, with some help from the Princesses. 

    I suggest you check out Trulie Scrumptious for some more fun holiday inspiration!
