Eggtra Special Easter Gift Basket Ideas
Easter is just around the corner and I’m already preparing for the big event! This year, we are headed to Goblin Valley, Utah for a camping trip! It’s fun to camp in this area of the United States during Easter because there are tons of weird rock formations. Perfect for hiding eggs. But not only is the egg hunt a special part of the holiday for my kids, but the Easter gift basket is also just as special! Keep reading to see what I plan on putting in my kid’s baskets this year!

Valentine’s Day Decorations: Sewing projects are always fun, but even more so when they’re holiday themed!

Valentine’s Day Crafts for the Adult That You Will Love
One of my favorite holidays of the year is quickly approaching: Valentine’s Day! I love the day of love and all that it stands for. I love spoiling my husband and kids even more! I start decorating (and crafting) for Valentines Day at least three weeks before February 14th is actually here. As I crafted over the years, I noticed that it was incredibly easy to find Valentine’s Day crafts for kids, but a little trickier to find Valentine’s Day crafts for adults! Fortunately, I’ve completely scoured the internet and I’ve found a list of Valentines Day crafts fit for ANY adult. If you love Valentine’s Day, you’ll absolutely adore…

Red and White Feels Just Right (For Christmas Decorations)
When it comes to Christmas decorations, I like to keep my color scheme completely traditional. While some bloggers like to fill their Christmas trees with schemes of colorful ornaments, I prefer to keep mine red and white. Not that there’s anything with colorful Christmas decorations! There’s just a little something about that classic red and white color scheme that feels so Christmassy to me. This last weekend, I spent my Saturday adorning my home in all things red and white and it felt so right! Hey, what can I say? Now that I’m done, I feel officially ready for the holiday season! It’s incredible what a few decorations (and the…

DIY Christmas Stockings Even Your Husband Can Do
This year, I’ve decided to retire my family’s old Christmas stockings and update them with some easy-to-make handmade stockings, instead! Of course, I’ll keep the old stockings hidden away in a plastic bin…I am sentimental, after all! With 4 children and several “adopted kids” that live at my house, you could say that I have a pretty large family. I hand-knitted our set of old stockings, and I knew that I needed an easier DIY Christmas stocking project so I could make enough in time for Christmas. Keeping my time crunch (and my number of family members!) in mind, I began searching for the internet for super easy DIY Christmas…

DIY Giant Christmas Ornaments That Will Have You Bouncing With Christmas Cheer
In my home, one can never go too far when decorating for Christmas. In fact, all of my kids were bummed last year when I skipped out on applying the fake snow around the windowsills! We regularly have snow here on Christmas…so who knew they would be so bummed out when I skipped decorating with the fake stuff! It’s probably pretty obvious that we take the holidays very seriously in the McCoy household. We like to fill every spare corner with a bit of holiday cheer! Needless to say, sometimes regular-sized ornaments just aren’t enough for my Christmas-obsessed family! We like to decorate with ornaments as big as they come!…

Eucalyptus/Lambs Ear Wreaths For the Home
It doesn’t matter what season it is, I love a gorgeous eucalyptus wreath or a lambs ear wreath any time of the year! Their rustic charm is something that I consider to be always appropriate! However, now that Halloween is officially over, these gorgeous wreaths are even more seasonally appropriate! Whether you make them yourself or purchase them from one of your favorite home decor stores eucalyptus and lambs ear wreaths are all the rage in home decor this season. Let’s get decorating!
