J.J. Cole Nursery Storage ONE DAY Giveaway! $75+ Value!

  I've been trying for this baby for years. Years. In that time I have been collecting some of my favorite products from some of my favorite companies.

Of course JJ Cole Collection had a collection of products that were on both their lists. I … [Read more...]

My husband would kill me if I stuck thumb tacks all over the walls so they left me to taping them in the doorways. It looked great but come every January I cringed taking them down praying to God that the stain didn't come off with the tape and I'd live to … [Read more...]

Yet every year I have a list of wants but I can just never be the type of girl to say this, this, and this when it concerns me. Why is that? When it comes to ou kids we can usually tell each family member a list for each child and make sure that no one gets duplicates. Tell them … [Read more...]
