Here is a list of creative Halloween ideas for all of you out there who, like me, don’t get very excited about decorating for Halloween. My kids are always begging me to ramp it up. And we get over 600 little trick-or-treaters coming to our house every year (that’s a fact), so the pressure is…

Make Something + Love This {three}
It’s time for my monthly (ish) round-up of the things I’m loving these days: Love This {three} 1. This post from comedian Kelly MacLean about surviving Whole Foods is hysterical {and true}. 2.

Every year at about this time I wish I had one of those houses where you change the slipcovers, drapes, pillows and linens…
Ribbon Jar
I’ve had ribbon jars for years, ever since the girls were little. I love being able to see all of the ribbon that we collect. I used to have a shoebox, but that wasn’t very pretty. Now the girls go to the ribbon jars almost every morning for their hair. And the boy uses the…

And with the added elastic cord, they are a perfect bun topper! This post contains affiliate links. Thanks for your support! The tutorial on…
