Walking in a Winter Wonderland. In the meadow we will build a snowman and so on the song goes… It sounds like so much fun. Frolicking in the snow. Growing up in Fresno, California there was snow once in my whole childhood. And it was a day I was out of town and it was closer…
The Christmas season is one of the best seasons of the year. But it is also one of the most stressful. And then if you are anything like me, you then feel guilty for being stressed and annoyed with the world. It is a nasty cycle;). (by the way, if you don’t have this issue……
I admit it, I don’t decorate for Halloween or Thanksgiving. I think each of those are such short seasons that it isn’t even worth decorating for. Each “season” is less than a month but if you tie them together! Then you have a time period worth decorating for. So I sought out 5 DIY decor…

But the calendar isn’t the only thing that spell spring around here everything is blooming!!! The air smells of orange blossoms in the evening…
I can’t believe it is already going into May!!! Where has this year gone! Once of the funnest things about the beginning of May is Cinco de Mayo!!! And the best way to celebrate is to plan a little celebration! So I have found a collection of great resources to help us all have a…
