I've been wanting to put some shelving in my bathroom niches for a while now. Above are some of the images that have been inspiring me to go ahead and get some bids. 

My bathroom 

I think I should be able to pull off some white floating shelves. 

I think shelves will make a big difference and add some pops of color in my bathroom. My husband I wanted a spa feel when we were picking out our options. I love the marble against the glass tiles. This is one of my favorite spots in our house.

Enjoy the weekend!

heart day

I made these cute little lollipop cards for Jordyn's class. I left out her name in case you want to download it for your own. 

You're welcome. 

They were really easy. Once I printed them out, I folded them in half and cut three slits.

Then pushed the lollipop through the slits. 

Make sure you use heavy weight card stock otherwise the paper will rip. 

Valentines Day isn't too crazy over here, but I do like to have little subtle hints of love around the house. 

I got two banners made this year since I wasn't feeling like Martha Stewart.

I brushed the dust off my wreath I made two years ago at craft night and decided to finally finish it. I added the flowers on the left and called it a day. 

This morning the kids woke up to tin cans filled with suckers, cotton candy, I love you straws, and little dancing and singing Valentines day stuffed animals. 

Tonight will be date night with my love. 

Can't wait. 

Wishing you all lots of love!

Are you looking for Valentines Day decorations? I am. 

While I was searching around I found these adroable framed hearts. 

I would even keep this one up year round.  

Enjoy.

Jordyn's Room

Trying to figure out how to decorate your kids room is stressful! Right now my sister in law and I are trying to put together my daughters room. It's taken a lot of emails and online searching, but I think we've started getting the general idea and color scheme.

This Brooke Rug rug from Madeline Weinrib  in hot pink is a must for her room.

Plus I've always been in love with these poufs from Serena and Lily. 

I love the idea of a book shelf. This one is too cute. Although I can totally see Tyson climbing all over it.

Can't wait to get this project started... and finished!

Christmas Eve Tradition

At Ramos House.

can't go wrong with their hot cocoa and homemade marshmallows. 

huckleberry coffee cake... delicious. Although the apple cinnamon beignets are my favorite. 

Love the atmosphere here. They always have the quaintest decor. Simple and elegant. 

 Perfect start to the Christmas weekend. Also got to see my new nephew. Can't wait for tonight.
Wishing you the Merriest Christmas of all. 

Sweet treat

This year I wanted to make rice crispy treats for my neighbors, since it's super easy and we have a ton of kids in the neighborhood. So when I came across a instagram post on adding cake batter, I had to try it. 

They are delicious. I can't believe I haven't tried these scrumptious treats before!

Cake Batter Rice Crispy Treats

• 
  

3 Tbsp. butter
1 (10 oz.) bag of mini-marshmallows
1/3 cup yellow cake mix
6 cups crispy rice cereal
1 (1.75 oz.) container of sprinkles

Method: Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat and add marshmallows. Stir until they begin to melt, adding in cake mix one spoonful at a time so its combined. Stir in rice crispy cereal so it is completely covered with marshmallow mixture. Sprinkle in half of the sprinkles and mix. Press into a baking dish (any size will do) and top with remaining sprinkles. Let sit for about 30 minutes before cutting. 

Unfortunately I have to go to the store and get more because my kids have inhaled most of them. 

 Just watch out for the sticky fingers. 

Santa's Message

So I discovered this very important Santa Clause message that every child should get a chance to see and hear. Click here to see one of the videos I sent to my child. Or click here to make your own. My kids are obsessed and have watched it possibly 30x's today. I cried the first time I saw my kids watch the videos. They are amazed.

Enjoy!!
