I like to share a little recap of my week at the start of each party:

On Monday we celebrated Halloween! Nathan was the grim reaper (with a voice changer!) and Autumn was Wonder Woman! It was a beautiful night, we didn't even need coats! Thanks to my Invisalign, I haven't been tempted to snack on candy all day... maybe it's a good thing I am going through orthodontics right now. ;) Ok, not really.

On Halloween, we also lost our little Nugget (Nuggie) hamster. We thought perhaps he had an ear infection, but the vet (yes, we took him to the vet) thought since the antibiotics weren't helping that it was indeed a brain tumor. Poor baby. We got Autumn a new hamster (Marshmallow) on Halloween to get her mind off Nugget. It was a sad day for Halloween... but, the new hamster will be loved. The day after Halloween I went to Main Street in St. Charles to do a little Christmas shopping and lunch with some friends I've known since high school. I had a steak sandwich and lobster bisque for lunch.

In running news, I ran on the unpaved part of the trail by my house and it was gorgeous with the fall leaves. BUT, I think I'll stick to the paved trail... I just can't run fast when there are sticks, mud, dips, etc. all over the place. It was worth checking out, though. I also received two copies of the Chicago Tribune in the mail this weekend and my name is IN it for finishing the Chicago Marathon! How exciting!

5 Ways to Bring Spring Into Your Home

The weather here in St. Louis has gone from 70 degrees to tornado watches/warnings and now to possible snow/ice this weekend. Whew! I am SO ready for Spring and for Daylight Saving Time. Today I'm sharing with you how to bring Spring to your home sooner with 5 Ways To Bring Spring Into Your Home . Bringing a little Spring into your home is rather easy. You don't need to change up your entire decor, at least not yet... What I try to do is add little touches here and there. 1. Spring Wreaths One way that I bring Spring into my home is by placing a Spring wreath on my front door or on some of the interior doors in the home. My absolute favorite Spring wreath that I've done is my Split Pea Wreath below, but I'm currently working on a Tulip wreath which I'll be sharing in a couple of weeks! I'm also sharing a couple of other Spring wreaths that I've made below: Split Pea Wreath with Burlap Bow Some other Spring wreaths I've designed:   Simple Spring Hoop Wrea

Princess Smart Mirror {My Knight and Me}

I’m so excited to tell you about the adventure-packed new medieval animated series for kids from TeamTO,  My Knight and Me ! I'm also sharing a craft that you can work on with your little Princess- a Princess Smart Mirror! This mirror isn't really 'smart', but it is sparkly, wrapped in ribbons and even monogrammed with your favorite princesses initial! In the cartoon  My Knight and Me  they do have a smart mirror and this mirror will prompt your child with plenty of imaginative play! This show is currently airing on the Cartoon Network weekdays at 12 p.m. My Knight and Me is for kids ages 6-10 and follows the quests of a colorful and charismatic trio of knights in shining armor: loyal, street-smart Jimmy the Squire; daring and determined Cat the Princess; and bold and courageous Henri of Orange, Jimmy’s dad and a charmingly inept, yet passionately chivalrous knight who might not be the most efficient protector of the realm – but sure is the funniest! Together, the kni
