Here are a few cute ideas I’ve had my eye on: 01. A sweet & classic Christmas Card tree. So simple to make!
I’m just going to come out and say it, folks: I ADORE CHRISTMAS MUSIC! Once November 1st hits, I’m all for it! Despite my retail history, I STILL love listening to holiday tunes for months on ends.

In honour of my favourite holiday, I’ve put together a list of some fun Christmassy albums that’ll have you boppin’ about til the New Year! 01. A Charlie Brown…
Halloween is coming up quick, mamas — have you SPOOKIFIED your house yet? If you’re just getting started, I hope you’ll find some inspiration below. I’ve put together a collection of super simple DIYs that you and your kiddos are bound to love! 01. Glow Stick Lantern: So easy, you’ll be wondering why you didn’t think of it first! 02. Felt Wreath: Such a cute idea! Love that googly eyed little spider.
