DIY Charm Necklace or Charm Bracelet- Supplies and Tutorial
My sister brought all the supplies to make Charm Necklaces to our family vacation in Yellowstone, it was a huge hit! She left all the supplies out on a table so anyone could make when they wanted, but we all sat and made them together one night, a few were made later and charm bracelets. Hard to do the exact math since many of the items come in multiples, but comes out to about $2 a necklace!! You can get a pack of the cutest charms for about $7, and then once you have the other supplies it is all very affordable. All the supplies would make for such a fun gift! Charm DIY Kit! Ella's ...

Finn Bedroom Most Recent Photos!
Finn's bedroom has been the room that has basically stayed exactly how I styled it when we moved in after our remodel 3 years ago. Still love it all! We call it the "green grass room" because it had green carpet when we bought this 1970's home. We kept the rug green as a sweet reminder to what it was and his comment. Finn Bedroom Before- You can tell they had major style when this room was designed! Bold and full of color, which I love. But it hadn’t been changed since 1970, it was time. We picked this room for Finn because it is a good size (about 13’x11′), has great lighting, and is ... Read More

Our Family Vacation to Yellowstone and Jackson Hole (Driggs)
For Christmas, instead of traditional Christmas gifts, my parents give the family a vacation somewhere that we can drive to. My parents pay for three nights at an Airbnb, in a house we can all fit in, they also give everyone a matching shirt too. This year we picked Jackson Hole as our main destination, we stayed in Driggs, which is about an hour drive to Jackson Hole. Some of us extended the trip so we could visit Yellowstone, and stay in Island Park because it's only about an hour away. We take turns making a meal at the house, pack lunches for the day, and do a lot of things that don't cost ... Read More
