EASTER 2019: BABY'S FIRST EASTER BASKET

one // two // three // four // five // six // seven One of the things that I was most excited about in becoming a momma was getting to celebrate holidays and create our own family traditions.

HOLIDAY MANTEL

Sooo…I have a confession to make...I put my Christmas decorations up before Thanksgiving every year.🙈  What can I say?! I LOVE Christmas so I want to enjoy the season as long as possible.

I knew that painting the fireplace white would brighten up the room and give a good contrast to the dark floors. Dane usually trusts me when it comes to design and decorating,...
