Hocus Pocus Halloween Sign + Sanderson Sisters Brewery Cut File

Are you a fan of Hocus Pocus? Use this Sanderson Sisters Brewery cut file to whip up a quick reverse canvas Hocus Pocus Halloween Sign or t-shirt! I’m a child of the 90s, so naturally I grew up with Hocus Pocus. While I was a little young to see it in theaters when it first came out (I think I was 7 or 8?), once I was a little bit older I remember watching it on network television every year around Halloween. There’s something about that movie that makes it fun for all ages…it hit […]

DIY Fabric Covered Pumpkins

Create beautiful and unique DIY fabric covered pumpkins to match your decor using faux pumpkins, fabric strips and Mod Podge! I have such mixed feelings about the change of seasons from summer to fall…on one hand, I *love* all-things-fall and can’t wait for crisp clear autumn days, sweaters with leggings and boots, football games, fall festivals, and pumpkin spice flavored everything! On the other hand, it’s sad to say goodbye to the warm sun, cook-outs, evenings on the deck and lazy summer days. I think for that reason, my transition from summer to fall decor […]

Fall Centerpiece with Chalk Painted Pumpkins

Many of you have figured out by now that I am totally infatuated with neutral fall decor…all you have to do is look back over the last month of blog posts and you’ll find a pattern! Even though my house is totally decorated for autumn, I have almost no orange, yellow, or red worked into my seasonal decor. I don’t have anything against those colors, but I much prefer softer colors and neutral and natural elements for this season. I started pinning away all kinds of autumn decor inspiration in August, and I even rounded […]

Free Ornament SVGs – Merry Christ-mas Cut File

Handmade Christmas ornaments are the best kind, don’t you think? I love how every handmade ornament tells a story. Pulling them out of the box to put on the tree each year causes you to pull that memory out along with it. Some ornaments represent a very important memory – like a wedding, birth of a child, graduation, or another special event. Others bring to mind the person who made the ornament – like a dried macaroni ornament from your youngest grandchild, or an ornament you made with a dear friend. And for some ornaments, it’s the memory of the… READ MORE

10 Tips to Create a Temporary School Room at Home

This is the time of year when trending Pinterest searches are supposed to be back-to-school supplies and first-day-of-school picture ideas.

10 Things to Do With Your Kids When School is Cancelled

Thanks to a global pandemic, here we all are in an absolutely unprecedented situation. Schools and universities closed for weeks, many places of business encouraging people to work from home, sporting events and concerts cancelled, even Disney World is shuttered. I don’t know about you, but the prospect of being stuck at home with our kids for several weeks (or maybe even longer??) is a little bit overwhelming. It’s one thing to do this in the summer time, when the weather is warm and we have places we can go – the library, museums, parks, day trips, etc.… READ MORE
