GIVEAWAY {Milk & Cookies Pillows}

GIVEAWAY {Milk & Cookies Pillows}

I was browsing around for new pillow covers recently and happened upon the etsy shop Milk & Cookies.  I immediately fell in love with Misty’s work because she has pillows in so many amazing fabrics!  I ended up ordering this green and cream Kelly W trellis print. . .  and Misty was kind enough to offer this pink and white geometric beauty!  The quality is awesome- much better than my primitive attempts at sewing! I love that she has affordable and designer fabrics available in her shop.   Y’all are in for a treat because Misty is giving away two ($20) pillows from her store to one lucky reader!!

Preparing for Houseguests {& Silhouette Giveaway Preview}

Preparing for Houseguests {& Silhouette Giveaway Preview}

It’s so great to have my husband’s parents in town for the holidays.   They are super nice and since they live out of town, we’re lucky that they’re here for a week this time.  In preparation for their visit, I got some new white sheets for the bed (to go with the Z Gallerie duvet and Wal-Mart pillow covers), added some fresh flowers to the nightstand, and included a little jar of treats (Hershey Kisses Meltaways- Jimmy’s mom’s favorite!) The guest bath got a little boost of freshness too with some flowers, new buttery yellow towels, bathmat and shower curtain from the Restoration Hardware outlet.

HWH Christmas Home Tour

HWH Christmas Home Tour

I think we’re ready for Santa to visit us!  It’s been fun decorating our new home for Christmas and enjoying the season with a little baby.  Most years, by the time Christmas is over, I’m ready to put the decor away, but this year, it feels like it just went up!  Here’s a look at what we’ve done in our home.  Made wreaths for the front door; Set the scene for Jesus’ birth Adorned the staircase with garland, bows, and ornaments; Dressed the tree in aqua,

A Little Christmas at Home

A Little Christmas at Home

Have you been adding little touches of Christmas around your home?  A Santa figure here, a reindeer there?  Or some ornaments gathered in a bowl or vase?  I’m realizing that our holiday decor is really pretty simple.  We’ve decorated our staircase, put up the tree, made some wreaths, and created a vignette in the bar area.  I’ve yet to hang the new stockings I found and I’d like to get a live little tree or greenery to bring in that fresh holiday scent.  Other than that, it’s little touches here and there that say Christmas in our home.

be merry, be jolly

I decided this year to include a picture of James in our Christmas card, so yesterday, we did a little photo shoot on our back patio.  I warn you that this may be a post that only a mother could love, as it contains nothing but pictures of my adorable baby.  It just cracks me up how many expressions this kid made in about 5 minutes!  So hard to decide which one to include in the card, but I’m thinking the last one might win out.  I love that it shows his big blue eyes, teeth and dimple- and the message on the pillow is showing:)
