Whew! Merry Christmas Aftermath! Christmas evening, I looked over the sea of strewn toys, to the sprawled-out, PJ-clad bodies of our children watching a Christmas movie, and caught my husband’s eye… I mouthed with wide eyes, “We did it. I can’t believe it!! We actually pulled it off!!” We air high-fived with big, goofy grins,
All I Want for Christmas
Truly. These four, little munchkins, and the Love of My Life, are all I want for Christmas. I’ve kinda felt like a single mama the past several months, as my husband has been spending every spare hour on our new home, trying his best to get us moved in before Christmas. I’m so beyond thankful
Red Lace
I’m on a blogging roll, this morning!! Wanted to get these up before we take down and move my computer station (no telling when it’ll be set back up in our new house)! So. This. Red. Dress. It’s hands-down my favorite red dress I have ever, ever worn!! Like, in all my life. Donna Morgan
Li’l Elves
We moved into our new farmhouse, this past weekend!!!! Cannot even believe the day finally arrived – it’s been a looong, challenging, two+ years. If you’re a newer follower, you probably don’t know the backstory of this whole building thing. Just over two years ago, my li’l fam and I were getting ready to move
Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year!! Hope your year is off to a great start! Most of us are still sick (all but Dad), but we still had fun ringing in the New Year (east coast time – we cheated), playing card games in our jammies. That may sound super boring, but we had the best time! The

Last Sunday Best of 2016
Soooo late to get this post up, but better late than never, right? Here’s our very last “Sunday Best” of 2016! I’ve had this coat a few years now, but I shopped a bunch of blush and ivory toned faux furs for you, below, for a few solid reasons: A faux fur coat isn’t super

Hi, We’re The Parka Family
We had brunch with Santa last weekend, and had the best time! If you live near the Sun River area, I highly recommend it. Loads of good, buffet-style brunchy munchies, and tons of the best hot cocoa ever. It’s held in a cabin-lodge setting, complete with chandeliers, Christmas music, and a roaring fire in a huge, stone
Dreamy Ivory + Velvet
Home-stretch time, ’til Christmas! And I am feeeelin’ it – whew! Hope you’re hangin’ there!:) So today, I have the pleasure, amidst all the crazy chaos, to partner once again with lovely Lilla P in this post. It’s no secret that I loo-ha-ha-oove their sweaters. I seriously don’t own anything softer, or comfier – they
