Our Plaza Carriage Ride...

I believe I am a city girl at heart...
I love the hustle and bustle...
Crowds...
Festive window displays...
And of course the shopping...
So yesterday we drove to Kansas City and let the boys experience the County Club Plaza...







I was so excited to see they have added my very favorite clothing store...


And the festive trip wouldn't be complete without a carriage ride...



{Of course I could have done without the horse in front of us backing into our horse which meant we backed into a car!}
But in the end memories were made and who knows maybe a tradition began...

Decorating for Christmas ~ The Living Room...

This year Aidan Kale was a huge help decorating for Christmas...
I enjoyed and reveled in his excitement...
Our living room is silver and gold...
Here is our finished product...
{I used other great bloggers advice and used what I had}



This is half the tree...
The mantel was a different story...
For the last 8 years I have used glitter candles and they have slowly lost their shape and glitter...
This year the candles had to be retired...
And I had to be creative...
A stocking we don't use stuffed with plastic bags...
Gold and silver ornaments...
My Believe sign {day after Christmas purchase last year}...
What do you think?



And my sofa table...



More to come...
All Things Heart and Home

Shutterfly Christmas Cards...

I seriously LOVE Shutterfly...
Shutterfly had me from the moment I found it's website...
I created Aidan's first year photobook from Shutterfly...
Thank you cards for Kamden's first birthday...
Calenders for Nama and Mema every Christmas...
In fact Shutterfly's products are incredibly high quality and you can always find INCREDIBLE deals...
I just made a photobook of all our photos from Halloween...
So when I found out Shutterfly was offering 50 FREE Christmas Cards to bloggers...
I could not resist!!!!!!!
Here are some of my very very favorite cards this year...{how will I ever choose}
Do I want to use one single classy family photo?


Or several adorable and candid photos...
Loving the monogram!!!


Are you a blogger?
Would you like your own 50 FREE Christmas cards?
You can go here to sign-up...
I have used several photo sites to create things and Shutterfly far surpasses them in every way...
Even if you aren't a blogger you have to visit Shutterfly...
If I weren't getting these cards for FREE I would most certainly pay for them just as I have all my other creations...
