To be honest I have never made gingerbread cookies before let alone from scratch. We used to get these pre-made ones that were so good and were already cut out even, you just had to pop them in the oven. But one morning I randomly came across a woman sharing “the easiest and best gingerbread […]

I loved decorating the new playhouse this year to match ‘our country home’ – it was so fun to see some Christmas lights sparkle out the back door this year, and spread some holiday magic to that new special place for the girls to create memories.

We have had our current gallery wall since we moved into our first home in Verona on Shuman Street. It looked great in our living room there for years and when we built on the farm I knew I wanted to keep our same layout but this time create the gallery up the stairs for […]
