THANKSGIVING

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We hosted dinner at our house this year. Both of our families came. It was so nice to have everyone together. 

A tradition in my family is to have a Thanksgiving tree. I had everyone write what they are thankful for on a leaf and hang it on a branch. It was my centerpiece for the food table.

I got to use my great-grandmother's china which made our thanksgiving dinner extra special. I used pinecone ornaments for my napkin holders. 

My pumpkin bouquet I made for under $15! I went to Hobby Lobby the day after Halloween when all of their fall decor was 80% off. I bought a fake pumpkin and fake flowers and floral foam. I cut the top of the pumpkin off. Inserted the foam. Then put the flowers in. 

We have so much to be thankful for. We are the most thankful for our beautiful miracle baby who was born earlier this year.

Now that Thanksgiving is done, Christmas decor is coming soon!

Nichole's Nursery

My favorite room in the house is my daughter's room. We had a hard time getting pregnant so decorating her nursery was extra special. I wanted her nursery to be absolutely perfect. Only the best for my little girl!

The nursery has a girly woodland animal theme. I was inspired by the fawn clock I purchased from Etsy. We painted the room pink, of course! I kept it simple with the bedding, choosing plain white sheets and my grandmother made the sweet crib bumper.

What little girl's room is complete without a chandelier and a pompom canopy?! It's my personal opinion that every girl should have a chandelier in her room. We all deserve to feel like a Princess. I made her canopy myself with a hot glue gun, pompom trim, cheap white curtains, and an embroidery hoop.

My favorite items in the nursery are her fawn clock, her canopy, and the little butterflies on the walls. I think the butterflies add such a sweet whimsical touch.

Halloween

This year for Halloween, I was a deer, baby girl was a bunny, and my husband was a hunter. Sadly my husband had to work the night shift so he wasn't able to go trick-or-treating with us.

I made our bunny/deer head pieces. I purchased the headbands from Hobby Lobby (wedding section), and hot glued fake flowers to it. I made the bunny ears out of felt and the deer antlers out of pipe cleaners and floral tape (tutorial here). 

For my fawn makeup I used: 

• Benefit Hoola Bronzer on my cheekbones, forehead, and on the sides of my nose.
• Black ELF gel eyeliner for the nose
• Maybelline Cover Stick in White for the spots and highlight on top of nose
• MAC Haute & Naughty Mascara
