Decorations for Our Home

Do you ever start a project and then take forever to finish it? Well, that's where I was at a couple weeks ago. We moved into our house in Ohio LAST JULY... and I just finished getting the photo collages I had planned on done.

That said, they are still not hanging up anywhere in our home, and at this rate, they won't be by the time we move again in March.

I am so excited to have all five of them finished, though, that I had to share! The first three I made a couple years ago to use for decorations at our wedding. I just added the last engagement session photos and our wedding photos.

I can't wait to make a new one once we have our maternity photos taken in July and make one of Baby Cookie's first year later on. Soon, our home is going to be completely overtaken with photo collages... oops.

Where would you hang these? All together or separately?
Do you also slack on getting projects finished quickly?

A Colorado Springs Staycation Guide

Today, I'm guest blogging over on Hope's blog about the top ten things to do in Colorado Springs for a staycation... in my opinion! I may not live there anymore, but the four years I was fortunate enough to, it felt like home.


Be sure to check out the post here and give Hope's blog some love!

Anniversary Trip: Smoky Mountains

After we left Nashville and Lynchburg, Dan and I drove to the town of Pigeon Forge! It was... interesting. We weren't huge fans of the town itself, but the scenery nearby? Definitely worth going for. We have been missing Colorado like crazy for the beautiful mountains... and while the Smokies aren't quote the Rockies, it was just what we needed!

We spent most of an entire day driving through the mountains and stopping every once in a while to hike around, once up a gigantic hill that I thought was going to kill me - yes, pre-pregnant Janelle would have made fun of me. Ugh. But the hike was worth it for the views!

I'll stop talking now and just let the pictures finish...


























Have you been to the Smoky Mountains?
Are you a mountain person like me?
