This time of year I start craving that quintessential winter drink -- hot cocoa. But not just any hot cocoa -- hot cocoa on steroids. I'm talking hot cocoa with marshmallows and peppermint and chocolate chips and caramel and whipped cream. Now that's hot cocoa. And what better way to appreciate the winter staple that is hot cocoa than by creating a place dedicated to just that? And it's nice to know you can do it with what you may already have on hand in addition to some inexpensive items from your favorite Dollar Tree and/or Target Dollar Spot. So welcome to my Christmas Hot Cocoa Bar Reveal.

Pom pom garlands are a fun way to decorate for the holidays, but they've become quite expensive since gaining widespread popularity. Last Christmas I made my own DIY pom pom garland for the small, flocked trees in our foyer. This year I thought I'd try the same thing but on a much bigger scale as winter white mantel decor. Like last time, I got a little help from the Target Dollar Spot and their premade indoor snowballs.

DIY Target Gift Sack Christmas Pillows

November 20, 2018

Welcome to Our Hopeful Home's DIY Target Christmas Pillow Extravaganza! Let's be honest, I'm a sucker for Christmas pillows. But I'm not a huge fan of their high price tags. So each year for the past 3 years, as well as this year, I've DIY'd my own Christmas pillows with nothing more than Target placemats or flannel gift sacks and some filling. Super simple and super inexpensive. So before I unveil this year's creation, let's take a trip down memory lane, shall we?

Welcome to Farmhouse Friday, friends! Today's project? How to make a magnolia wreath for less than $25.00. Magnolia trees are a common sight mainly in the southern United States. And those gorgeous farmhouse-style magnolia wreaths that are all the rage these days are a common sight in most self-respecting modern farm homes, thanks to Chip and Joanna Gaines and the show Fixer Upper. Unfortunately, the cost is staggering. So today I'm sharing a tutorial on how to DIY a faux magnolia wreath and avoid the huge price tag.
