You guys know how much I love a good themed toddler bookshelf. St. Patrick’s Day is no exception! Obsessed with this vintage simple shamrock garland I purchased on Etsy. I love the subtly colored rainbow in the middle! It’s great quality. The Etsy shop is is named Colorado Farmhouse Addict (COFarmhouseaddict). Here’s a link to …
Valentine’s Day Themed Playroom Bookshelf
Having two boys doesn’t hold me back from putting up some pink, red and white hearts around the house. I love decorating their little rotating bookshelf for the next upcoming holiday. These super cute string heart lights are from the dollar store! They are short, but perfect length for this shelf. This felt heart garland …
Festive and Delicious Yule Log Cake
This festive and delicious Yule Log Cake is so delicious, beautiful and made from scratch! The Yule Log Cake (or Bûche de Noël) is a tradition originating in France that dates back to the 19th century. The cake represents the yule log that families would burn starting on Christmas Eve, symbolizing the new year to come …
My Favorite Personalized Christmas Ornament
Our main Christmas tree at home is filled with meaningful ornaments. I love that every one has a special memory attached! One of my favorites is this hand painted family portrait that I ordered from a really cool shop on Etsy. I ordered this when I was pregnant with Logan. The owner had me send …
Cookie Tin Tips and Recipe Roundup
I was so pumped about last year’s cookie tins, I just wish I had thought to take better photos! Every year I get some cookie tins (usually from Michaels) to hand out some baked goodies as gifts. Try and round up some tins after the holidays when they are on sale! I try and include …
Favorite Toddler Christmas Books
I love switching out my toddler’s books as the seasons and holidays change. For Christmas this year, I added some battery operated lights from Michaels. These gold mercury glass ones are great and I have them multiple places throughout our house! They have a timer too, so come 4pm everything turns on automatically. I added …
Cozy Kitchen Window Christmas Village
On December 1st all the plants on my kitchen window ledge were told to hit the road to make room for my little Christmas Village. “Told to hit the road” sounded catchier than “lovingly transported to another window after fertilizing and watering”. I love my plants. The kitchen window ledge is the ideal spot for …
Delicious Gluten Free Apple Cider Donuts
My oldest son is allergic to wheat (and peanuts!), so we have had to make some adjustments to accommodate his diet at our house. We all wind up eating gluten free a lot of the time just to make things easy! I’ve made quite a few gluten free baked goods, and these donuts are up …
Toddler Thanksgiving Book Nook
It was 70 degrees out today here in New England, my toddler wore his Halloween costume to the park, I’m still dipping into his candy haul and I heard Christmas music on the radio today. You know what that means – Thanksgiving is coming. We don’t skip over Thanksgiving and head straight for Christmas at …
Halloween Themed Bookshelf for Toddlers
I decided to decorate the bookshelf in my boys’ playroom with the seasons/holidays. As they get older I hope it’s something they look forward to! The playroom is right off the kitchen and it’s fun (and easier while they’re stuck in seats at the table) to grab a book while they are eating and read …
