I have some rules for gift giving. Gifts should always be something that the person really wants, but that they would never buy for themselves. Either because it is too frivolous, too expensive or because it’s something that they never even knew they wanted in the first place. For me, Anthropologie always checks one or …
When I was a kid, the best thing ever was decorating the Christmas tree. We had a room with cathedral ceilings which meant we could get, like, a 12 foot Christmas tree. My dad would buy the tree, bring it home, let it stand on the back porch for a few days to let the …
I’ve been hosting Thanksgiving for many years. The one thing I always forget about is that for kids, it’s not really the most exciting holiday. That’s where the kids thanksgiving crafts come in. This year for Thanksgiving I’m going to have one teenager, a 10 year old, a five year old and a 3 year …

So, I think I am officially off my crafting rocker. I’ve got three adorable Dollar Store Pumpkin Makeovers for you today and… I’ve named them. And made up personas for them. It’s not my fault, they are very cute pumpkins and they just sort of spoke to me. Have I lost my mind? …
