2014 Holiday Season Recap

Posted by:


So as I stated, the end of 2014 was filled with some great highs and some sad lows. We lost our beloved cairn terrier Pabst in November. He was a always mischievous, very lovable and at the end pretty much toothless dog.  He was my first baby, having adopted him on Halloween in 2000. He had eighteen full years of life. I only hope we gave him as much love and memories as he gave us!

Happy New Year!

Posted by:


Happy New Year!  It's been a while since we've shared.  Homeschooling, kids and work seems to have occupied most of my time, which did not leave much time for posting.  But it's a new year and I have vowed to find balance!!

The Novak Family has been quite busy the last couple of months.  Some good things (a couple of fun trips) some sad things (the loss of our beloved dog Pabst).  But we believe in cherishing the good and learning from the not so good. So that's what we've done and now we are looking forward to what the new has to offer!

In the next couple of weeks we will recap 2014 and share our hopes for 2015. Hopefully you will continue to enjoy spending a little time with us as we enjoy spending time and sharing with you!

Decorating for Fall Inside and Out

Posted by:

As I mentioned we LOVE Fall. This being said we also LOVE to decorate for falls. From the dining room table and side board to the coffee table and fireplace, you name it we decorate it! We don't stop with the inside. The outside is just as important. When you come to our house there is no doubt what season it is.

So take a peek at what we did this year. For inside we used a combination of silk flowers, pine cones, fresh and glass pumpkins and gourds to start. We then added glass lanterns and votives mixed with some iron like items. Candles and kids don't usually mix, however battery operated LED candles do the trick. And I actually like them better because many come with remote controls and/or timers. Super easy and super convenient.
