One of our holiday traditions is to fill the kids up a mug of hot chocolate and head out on a holiday decoration adventure. This year I decided to create a fun scavenger hunt checklist for our adventure. The kids each got their own holiday scavenger hunt checklist (a picture one, because I have little ones) and a mug of cocoa and we were off! I also decided this year to upgrade our cocoa experience and I created a few different cocoa melts. The really nice thing about these is that you ... Read the Post
Hot Chocolate and Holiday Scavenger Hunt
Staples Holiday Cards
Hi, my name is Ashley and I don't send Holiday Cards. It's not because I don't want to. I really, really do. Sometime around July I start thinking about them. I plan fabulous, handmade, layered cards. With sparkles, and photos and magic oozing from them. Then November rolls around and I remember these fabulous plans and they turn into store bought cards with updated family photos, except I haven't scheduled family photos. Then December rolls around and I realize that I never bought store ... Read the Post

Printable Tea Bag Tags for Mother’s Day
I am an avid coffee drinker (some might say it fuels me completely) however I know a lot of mom's who love tea just as much. With that in mind I decided to make a quick and easy mother's day gift that is the perfect way to show that special tea drinker in your life that you care about them. I personally am going to be giving this gift to a good mom friend of mine who works long days (and nights) and who I know appreciates a good cup of tea. If you have someone in your life who is a tea drinker ... Read the Post

Wooden Toolbox – Pottery Barn Knock Off and Gift
Today I am sharing a super easy knock off tutorial AND a fun way to put it to use! It all started when I saw this neat wooden tool box in Pottery Barn's catalog, but when I saw the $45 price tag attached I knew that I could do better. I had picked up this wooden tool box from a garage sale last summer for the ridiculously low price of free. I have been staring at it since then trying to figure out what to do with it, but once I saw that picture I knew it was meant to be! I started off ... Read the Post
