Sit back, relax and let me hold your hand as I give you the tools and advice you need to create YOUR home. Check in weekly for the latest in design, trends, looks for less, decorating advice, easy entertaining, marriage & kids, tutorials, crafty home decor and much more.

1 – What is your favorite holiday and why?

Christmas, duh! I read this book a while back called the Seven Love Languages and of course my love language was gifts:) Now as much as I LOVE receiving them I equally enjoy giving and wrapping up a fun gift for friends and family! The entire meaning of Christmas is so close to my heart and I really do think its “the most wonderful time of the year”

2 – What is your favorite Christmas Tradition?

My favorite Christmas tradition is opening up a gift the night before!! The kids love it, I love it and Reggie does too! It’s like getting a taste of what’s to come the next morning! I also love to eat a big fat, really bad for you breakfast! French Toast, bacon, eggs, homemade cinnamon buns!!! Yummy! I also love baking for my family and friends as well! Check out this easy way to make your cupcakes SPRINKLE! Every year for the past 6 years or so I have been making Christmas Cupcakes to share with family and friends. One of my FAVORITE cupcake decorating techniques is rolling a frosted cupcake in fine colored sugar! GLITTER CUPCAKES! Super fun for the kids to make too. I just makes for a really clean and easy to eat cupcake! So here is what you need to frost the EASIEST cupcake in the world……

3 – What is your all-time favorite Christmas Movie?

HOME ALONE!!! I think this was the first Christmas movie I remember watching back to back to back! It’s such a classic and brings me right back to my childhood Christmas memories.

4 – What has been the best present you’ve ever received and why?

Best present I received? WOW!! That’s a hard one girl! I think I would have to say my family! Some might think that’s not a real gift, but I would have to argue that! I’m mean the odds of finding THE perfect mate, and having not just one child, but three is a miracle in my eyes and it’s something that I know I could never achieve on my own!

5 – Why do you blog?

I blog to help! I really just want to help other folks out! I remember back in high school I was HORRIBLE at math…like 2+2=what? Horrible. I remember there being a gal in my class who not only GOT fractions and to the whatever to the power stuff , but she was super passionate about it! She was always willing to help. I just couldn’t wrap my brain around how someone could truly enjoy something so foreign and hard for me and be able to understand it SOOO well! It wasn’t until I found my passion for decorating that I really understood! I’m willing to share what I know because it’s my passion, it’s second nature, it’s not work to me and I love it! So if your willing to learn I’m willing to teach and share!

Thanks so much for having me Kristyn! Come on over and visit me at A Place for Us anytime friends!!

Cheers!

Destiny
