Christmas Cards with Tiny Prints
Christmas cards are tradition in this home. There is nothing I love more than sending & receiving Christmas cards. All year long I'm a giddy girl going to the mail box but come December I'm a crazy girl going to the mail box - literally praying for Christmas cards! Haha.

But before Bruce and I were ... continue reading...
Escape Room
Bruce and I love games and game nights. It is funny in fact because we don't talk about them all the time here on Oak + Oats but they are a huge part of our friendships and marriage.

Advent Calendar
This is my fourth year picking up an advent calendar from Naptime Diaries ( 2013, 2014, 2015) but this year the company has a new name - Amen Paper Company. I couldn't find the new name more fitting. Four years ago I picked up the advent guide because I so desperately wanted to make the Christmas season more intentional. It is one of the most magical times of the year but it is also filled with so much noise and so much rush. I wanted a way to intentionally celebrate. To begin traditions in my ... continue reading...
