I'm just a twenty something stay at home mama trying to do my very best to be awesome at my job. I love Harry Potter, crafting, coffee, red wine and stretchy pants. I used to be a world traveler but I've settled down (for now) to have babies. I'm married to my best friend James and I'm a dog mom to Niko (Goldendoodle) and Rahksi (Chinese Crested). Read More…

DIY project #2...I gave our IKEA Lätt table a MUC

DIY project #2...I gave our IKEA Lätt table a MUCH needed face-lift. It was G R O S S. Now it's BEAUTIFUL.

I actually wrote a blog post on it (first blog in months...oops) and I also got one about the fireplace done too! See them both on Littleprinceleopold.com.

I wish you could see this in person, it's even prettier! It's got shine, it's got glitter, it's even got glow in the dark paint in there!

Oh, Nugget Tree, Oh Nugget Tree 🎄 Sometimes one

Oh, Nugget Tree, Oh Nugget Tree 🎄
Sometimes one Christmas tree just isn't enough 😆. Bonus, this one is also a fun tunnel to hide under/crawl through! Still glad I got my Nugget last year about 3 days before they were nearly impossible to score 😝.

I caved! I was trying to wait to decorate but then our shiny new tree from @kingofchristmas came and I couldn't wait any longer! (Gifted)

It was so easy to put together! Check out my stories to see the hyperlapse of me and @katillacjack building it.

Another reason I could not wait to decorate was because look at my fireplace!! Ever since we moved in to this house I've been saying I want to update it...well 2020 is the year of home projects for a lot of us and it only took me one weekend to get it done! I LOVE IT. It brightens up the room so much and feels so much cleaner (also because it IS so much cleaner.) Swipe to see before/during/after shots!

It definitely lit a fire in me, and I can't wait to show you the next couple projects I'm working on! Have you done any home projects lately!?

Have you taken your vitamins today? We got sent these @rdnaturals elderberry gummies last week and we are all hooked! I've always tried to keep up with my vitamins but this year I've gotten really good at it 😂. The kids get regular gummy vitamins each day and now they get these too! I take chocolate vitamins "for her" as well as zinc, omega 3s/fish oil and vitamin C every day. 💪🏻What vitamins do you take regularly?

These elderberry gummies are so yummy and so good for you! I love that they are local to me too, as the company is located in Charleston, SC!

I'm sensitive about the term "stocking stuffers".

I'm sensitive about the term "stocking stuffers". (Ad) I think it gets advertised too frequently and WHY would we need to buy stocking stuffers as parents when DUH Santa fills the stockings! I'll never forget seeing "stocking stuffers" in my mom's check registry when I was maybe 7 or 8. I thought, but why would mom need to get stocking stuffers? Then it hit me like a punch to the gut. The rumors about Santa must be true...So naturally I'm triggered by that phrase to this day 🙈.

Anyway, whether it's you or Santa filling the stockings this year, @mindwaretoys has you covered! Shop early to get the best deals and get your packages in time for Christmas! Get free shipping on a $49 purchase, plus 10% off orders $99+ with code EB10EM.

Do your Christmas ornaments tell a story? AD// Or

Do your Christmas ornaments tell a story? AD// Or do you prefer to stick to a color scheme or theme? One of my favorite parts of decorating for Christmas when I was a kid was pulling out all the fun ornaments and playing with them or remembering why or where we got each one. @oldworldchristmas sent us a few ornaments and I thought I'd choose some that represented our 2020 and our hobbies. Of course I also needed to get the Niko ornament! ⁣

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘭- we have cooked out more this year than we ever have! It was a nice way to make weekends feel special when there was nothing else to do. Once we started seeing family again, we really enjoyed hosting cookouts every couple weeks. James even bought a big grill like this one! ⁣
⁣
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘢- this has been my hobby for a while now (@littleprincephotos) but it was during quarantine that I was reminded by @wearingmomjeans to "capture the ordinary". It kept my creativity flowing and my sanity almost in place 😆.⁣
⁣
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦- my husband bought an embroidery machine this year and almost every night I find him watching tutorials, studying embroidery, and practicing with his machine. It's actually pretty darn sexy to witness 🥰. ⁣

Is it too soon to see Santa?? Never! I like to jump on these things as early as possible because ⁣
1. The longer I wait the busier we get and ⁣
2. The closer to Christmas the longer the lines! ⁣
⁣
Obviously I was also a little nervous this year about how seeing Santa would go down and if it would be as easy as it usually is to pay him a visit. When I saw @jamesandeloiseboutique post that Santa would be at their store last weekend I didn't hesitate!
⁣
They store Santa in a huge plexiglass box (swipe to see better) and you can chat with him a bit and then sit on the bench and have your photo taken. Santa was so nice and Leopold got stage fright and requested "a tree that has pine cones you can take off." 🤭🤔 Lucky for him we have plenty in our yard! I think Finley appreciated not being put in Santa's lap, honestly! ⁣🎅
⁣
🤶 Mrs. Claus meets you at the door and takes temperatures, you're given hand sanitizer, and masks are worn until you get to Santa for photos. There are marks on the floor to help you stand an appropriate distance from the people in front of you as well. ⁣
⁣
Thanks @jamesandeloiseboutique for keeping this tradition alive! If you're local to Columbia, they are in Lexington and will have Santa come back a few more times. Check out their page for full details!

Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? (Ad

Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? (Ad) I am ALMOST done, for the kids at least. Largely thanks to @mindwaretoys and their super fun and engaging toys and games. One of our family favorites is the "Dig it up!" Line of toys. The digging process keeps Leopold busy for a while and mom and dad usually get a turn or two mixed in there 😂. Then there's a toy when you get to the middle! I've got a few more #MindWareToys tucked away to wrap up for Christmas, like crystal growing dinos, a dinosaur piggy bank you can paint, and scented putty! ⁣

I tend to stick to our "Day after Thanksgiving" Christmas decorating tradition. My decor is all hand me downs or second hand, and I don't have a lot of shelf space to put stuff anyway. This 7.5 foot pre-lit yorkshire fir from @kingofchristmas is our first tree that's just ours. It didn't belong to anyone before us and I didn't find it at Goodwill 😂. I'm pretty excited about it so I know y'all will understand if I cheat my traditions just a wee bit! (Gifted) Tell me about your Christmas tree if you have one!

Finley and Eimmie were fast friends! (Gifted) @playtimebyeimmie sent us Eimmie and she's Finley's first doll that she can match with! She came in a special case wearing a pretty summer dress with a change of pajamas, and we also got this month's subscription of Club Eimmie! Club Eimmie is a subscription that's $12.99/ month and will send matching outfits each month. How cute are they in these Gingerbread cookie apron & hat set?! A club Eimmie subscription is the gift that gives all year long!

Here's to actually having stuff to put in my planner in 2021🥂. (Gifted) I have loved my @inkwellpress planner the last two years and I'm so glad to have one again for the next year! The layout is super clean and pretty, and it has everything I need to stay organized and on track to reach my goals. Are you a planner person?

Swipe to see Finley + my planners over the last 3 years 😭 who stretched her out so much??

Despite everything, Halloween 2020 was probably our best one yet! A fun festival, a successful trunk or treat, and yesterday traditional trick or treating with a few quirks, like "candy launchers" and more bowls on the porch. Grateful for friends who let us tag along to a very festive neighborhood! It was the first year Leopold has gone trick or treating with kids his age (and that he will probably remember). Last year was a complete dud because of storms so I'm glad we made up for it! Now what to do with all this candy 🤔? I'm loving seeing all your kids in costume! It's one of my favorite "scroll IG" days of the year!

Happy November!

This Leslie Knope quote fits this girl perfectly! Little Leslie says Happy Halloween! Have fun and don't forget to go vote! Most importantly, be kind. Ron and Leslie had totally different views and they still managed to get along! ⁣

How I'm feeling about the fact that our a/c went out (again...it does this far too often) yesterday and it's currently 80 degrees upstairs where we all sleep. 🥵🥵🥵. I still spent the whole day busting my booty cleaning house but doing that with kids present is seriously like brushing your teeth while eating oreos. Dang near pointless. I did try the baking soda/essential oil trick on the carpets and it was amazing! I used peppermint and Finley kept asking if she could have ice cream because the whole house smells like mint ice cream now ☺.

Swipe to see a wide range of Finley faces 😁🥴😒🤪😖😊. My little ballerina!
