I think it's time to start talking about Thanksgiving!! I love this holiday, because it's all about spending time with family and just being thankful.

It's fun to try new ones every year, along side our traditional favorites. 22 mouth-watering Thanksgiving Side Dishes Sweet Potato Casserole from ...

One Room Challenge Girl’s Room | Week 2
Week 2 of the One Room Challenge is officially over for me! I decided to take on an extra project that I hadn't planned on in my original design... a wall treatment. As I mentioned last week, my daughter chose white for the walls (I didn't even have to nudge her to that decision! ;) ). After I painted and moved all the furniture, I decided that it felt too flat.
