Simple Front Door Makeover

I decided it was time to add something else to the front door that we recently redid .  I simply cut out some vinyl lettering with my beloved Cricut machine and adhered them under the wreath.  Cute and friendly, right?

The Kids’ Bathroom

We finally got around to fixing up the kids’ bathroom. While it’s currently adorable and fun, it won’t stay like this forever because we eventually want to have a bathroom for overnight guests to use without feeling like they are 5 years old.

Pumpkin Squares Recipes

I have seriously seriously been on the HUNT for canned pumpkin puree since last year. Apparently, there was a major pumpkin shortage because of the heavy rains and it totally ruined pumpkin crops.
