I’m am currently in the wonderful state of Wyoming, I’m a Melanoma survivor, wife of a wonderful man, and mommy of twin girls and another little girl who I swear is a 14 year old in a 4 year old body. We are currently expecting our first little man to our bunch and cant wait for that adventure. (He has to come out sometime right!?) We just finished building our first house and I cant wait to make it into our home. I have so many ideas running through my head sometime I cant sleep!

Neighbor Gifts For Christmas

I hope you are all enjoying your Holiday season so far! I feel like it’s going by way to quickly and I need to slow down so I can enjoy it a little more!

Are you all needing some last-minute ideas for neighbor gifts?

Can I just tell you how much I LOVE neighbor gifts! I love all the treats that accumulate on the counter from your friends and the cute Christmas cards I get to hang on my wall for a little while. Now, the downside to that is that I have a hard time coming up with something to give back. I am not a baker and sometimes I get these great ideas to make some treats for everyone and they come out of the oven looking like poo! How can I give something that looks like that to other people!? So I try to stay away from making treats for everybody. Well, this year I came across potpourri. What is potpourri? Well its a mixture of ingredients that you let simmer in a pot or small crock pot to make your home smell wonderful! I knew this was something I could handle. I assembled small bags for friends that they just have to throw in a pot to make their homes smell like Christmas!

This season I am really loving hot chocolate! I am not a coffee drinker, but Starbucks has some YUMMY hot drinks, you gotta try, so I included a $5 gift card to Starbucks!

Lindor Truffles, needs no explanation!

I recently found some of this cute chevron burlap ribbon and it quickly has become on of my favorite things! Just think of all the things you could use this for!

EOS chapstick! It gets really dry here in Wyoming and this has been a life saver for me. I love the shape of it and when I am searching in my purse for it, it is really easy to find.

Urban Peach Earrings, these are so cute! I have this exact pair and I LOVE THEM! They go with everything!

No Sew Play Tent

OH MY GOSH it is freezing here in my small town, -4 degrees!!

I  really hope you are all staying warm wherever you are!

I don’t know about you guys but my kids make forts ALL THE DANG TIME!

and I know it’s a right of passage as a kid to make forts out of whatever you can find, but my OCD has a hard time with all the junk lying around.

So to help make me and my kids happy I made this!
