DIY Dreamcatcher Station


I love how it turned out…despite the small hiccup when  I fell off a chair while putting the fairy lights and had a minor concussion… but it’s all good now. 🙂 Oh…the things I do…

Dreamcatcher Party Design Board

I’m planning Chloe’s 11th birthday (yay!) and the theme she chose this year is “sleepover”. So I came up with dreamcatcher as an inspiration to design the invitation and decorate the house.

Sunday Funday

Sunday, October 22nd, 2017

Came home after Shane’s soccer game and we baked an apple cake and apple muffins. 

Apple cake made with whole wheat and no sugar. Not very pretty and not popular amongst my family but my mom and I like it. Not-so-guilty pleasure… 😉

We sat outside on the porch to carve pumpkins, enjoying this beautiful fall weather.

Taking a break!
