Holiday Fun!

Little ones seem to make the holidays so much more fun! Everything seems simply magical. From lights, trees, Santa, ugly sweater parties, and ice skaters... B seems to be excited by it all. 

We are keeping our decor simple this year, but we have a darling little 4 ft planted tree, lights galore and a yummy smelling fresh wreath.

Pinterest Round Up

Thanksgiving Projects and Inspiration 

This poor, neglected blog. The last posts were in July and coincidentally that was the last month before returning to work. Having a lot of time off this month, I was able to complete a few of my Pinterest projects I'd been eyeing for awhile: 

Toddler Table

B and his table (Target): 

How cute does he look on that tiny chair? 

Fruit and Cheese Turkey Appy: 

(Honestly, it only took 20 min) 

Festive Holiday Garlands for B's Playroom 

 

I couldn't decide... I liked them all so I made a couple of each: doily, countdown chain, bunting, and polka dot glitter garlands! Very fun and festive holiday decor... the best part is that he can't pull them down or knock them over.

It's not up yet, but stay tuned. 

Can't wait for another round of projects during Winter Vacation. It always feels good to actually complete projects from my wish list/pin board.

Fun with Paint
