My Ornament.

“Every true cross-bearer learns to carry his cross as if it were an ornament rather than a burden, and finds after a time that it carries him. It gives more strength to him than he gives to it.”  - Mrs. Charles Cowman The other day a dear friend texted me this quote. I haven’t been [...]



The Last Big Thing. Sort of..

hanging ornaments for the first time

It hasn’t really felt like Black Friday today. Maybe because instead of getting up at the crack of dawn to fight crowds and parking spaces and stand in lines that barely move, I was hauling little man from his bed to ours. He usually walks over to us, sometime around 4-5 in the morning (and [...]

I can’t quite put my finger on it (seriously, I’ve tried) but Christmas just didn’t FEEL like Christmas. That is until Christmas Eve. I was wrapping gifts for my side of the family, as we (Pete, Bubby & I) had opened and exchanged gifts Christmas Eve morning because we knew Christmas Day would be full [...]

Christmas Card Hanger + More Ornament Ideas

Christmas Card Hanger

This past summer Hobby Lobby had a blowout sale on these fabulous cast iron hangers. They were something ridiculous like 60 cents. So I grabbed five. Because five is the number that I default to. It’s a Jenna thing- she was born 5-5, her first and middle name have five letters in them… :) Anyhoo… [...]
