Holiday Happenings On The Prairie

3 Dec
Spread the love
  • Tweet

One thing I love about Noblesville & Fishers is being so close to Conner Prairie.  When we first moved here I was so bummed to be so far away from the Zoo & Children’s Museum, but then I realized we had Conner Prairie literally in our backyard!  I know, I know… I always rave about Conner Prairie, but it is truly a gem.  And this year is the first year that I’m actually adventuring over there for Holiday events!  They are open year round but we’ve never been over there for any holiday events surprisingly… And they have so many to offer!  

Here is a quick recap on just a few!

Conner Prairie by Candlelight: We are heading to this one on Friday and I can barely contain my excitement!  I’ve heard it’s really cool and can’t wait to check it out!  Here’s what CP has to say about it:

During this family-friendly event, visitors will meet a variety of characters in their homes and learn how new settlers to Indiana’s frontier carried on their holiday traditions. At the end of the night, visitors will either join Dr. Campbell at his home for dancing and singing as his family rings in the holidays, or join the ‘rowdies’ and carolers to sing around the bonfire. New this year, visitors can tour at their own pace and warm up with hot chocolate (and now adults can try a variety of adult beverages)!

Breakfast and Dinner with Santa: Eat a meal with Santa, take pictures and decorate cookies.

*I have heard that certain events are sold out so this might be one to plan on for next year if you can’t get times you are looking for this time around…

Gingerbread Village:  

I love gingerbread houses.  I wish I could make masterpieces of my own, but I am a fail in the kitchen most of the time.  We usually check out the Festival of Gingerbread at the Fort Wayne History Center when visiting family, but this one is sure to be a new favorite at home!  Here you can see a variety of gingerbread masterpieces from both amateurs and professionals.

Tales at the Holidays: Letters from the Civil War:

My husband and I have always wanted to do Conner Prairie’s Follow The North Star and I feel like this will easily fall in line with that.  This two-person play uses song, dancing and puppetry to tell the intriguing story of brave mail couriers during the Civil War.

Also, don’t forget The Store at Conner Prairie has awesome goods for gifting!  I already have a few items on my list!!  You can find pottery made right at the museum, most likely by the potters (you might have seen them making some this summer), as well as Conner Prairie-made textiles and other locally and Indiana made goods. 

See you on the Prairie!   

 You can find more about all these holiday events at connerprairie.org/holidays.

A little about me…

Hey There! I'm Abby. Some people started calling me "Little Miss Martha" a few years back and this blog followed. I started it to share my DIY wedding progress, but it's now evolved to include other good things. Read More…

🐇Hop to it - It’s Easter Basket Time!!! What 🐇Hop to it - It’s Easter Basket Time!!! What are you putting in yours this year?!? ⁣
⁣
Is there a rule for Easter baskets like they have at Christmastime?! Something to wear, something you need, something you want and something you need?! If not, there probably should be 🤣 ⁣
⁣
These were fun to pull together for the girls with a few things from local shops and others gathered from wherever! ⁣

Things are starting to come together for the new h Things are starting to come together for the new house dining room! Yay! Just in time for Easter too!  Although, my pick for chairs are not available until September FAIL. ⁣
⁣
But until I either find a different chair or September comes along, I’m enjoying taking one piece in at a time and loving how all the pieces are coming together!  Today on the blog I shared sources, links, and my dining room inspiration! ⁣
⁣
And on that note, I do have a question... do you use your dining room?  Or even have one?  How do you use this space?!? I’ve never had one before and I contemplated making it an office, but I love a good tablescape so we went the dining route and I’m pretty excited if you can’t tell! ⁣

🎶Won’t you be my neighbor?!!🎶Please tell m 🎶Won’t you be my neighbor?!!🎶Please tell me I’m not the only person who’s never done this before? Neighbor gifts?  Have you received one or given one?  Just wondering...⁣
⁣
Since we were basically the first on our little end of the street to move in, and it’s been mostly yuck weather since, I thought it would be a fun way to introduce our family to those who have moved in since us!  I put together these little s’mores kits and they are headed out the door today!  Hop over to the blog to see how I did it, but it was so easy! ⁣
⁣
And now, there will never be an excuse to not have s’mores around the fires in the backyards! ⁣

Happy Sunday! We had some vaccinated grandparents Happy Sunday!  We had some vaccinated grandparents in town so that meant we better get the guest room together. ⁣
⁣
Was Olive maybe the inspiration for the room?  Possibly because I do love that color, but I found this Olive colored blanket at @homegoods and then went on the hunt {yesterday} to @target to find the rest of the bedding and I’m loving it! ⁣
⁣
I share more details on the blog later and maybe if my house survives this visit, I’ll actually share a house tour for real... but let’s be real, It’ll be a mess before I get to that!  Would you share your messy house?!⁣

Starting to get into the festive mood! I have to Starting to get into the festive mood!  I have to admit, the little flags I grabbed at @targetdollarspotfinds have really come in handy and have been out for a couple weeks now! ⁣
⁣
We tried our hand at rainbow donuts the other day and the kids all loved them!  Not to mention they look pretty cute if I do say so myself! ⁣
⁣
I shared a few leprechaun inspired treats via my link in bio that couldn’t be any easier!!! But I’m wondering... do you get into St Patrick’s Day fun?! And which are your favorite treats to make?! ⁣

I can’t wait to see what my beautiful girls grow I can’t wait to see what my beautiful girls grow up to be... right now I’m betting on Stand-Up Comedian/Artist (E) and Tatoo Artist (O) 🤪 At the moment I’m actually a little scared but I know it’ll all work out the way it’s supposed to.⁣
⁣
I watched @moxiemovie this weekend and am once again reminded that rebel girls make the world go round in more ways than one!  So I’m hoping there’s a little (not a lot) Rebel in my girls and I hope and pray they find the confidence in themselves to be who they are meant to be! ⁣
⁣
We pulled out #bedtimestoriesforrebelgirls tonight as a reminder that women and girls all around the world have been making waves forever and we shouldn’t stop now!  And there’s a link to a list of 9 Books about strong women in my bio if you are needing some more inspiring women in your life!!! ⁣

Happy March! I know, I know I’m a day late... b Happy March!  I know, I know I’m a day late... but still!  Can you believe we are here already?! How is it we are already on month three of 2021?! ⁣
⁣
March means I start thinking about St Patrick’s Day, Green things, and Easter!  So starting with some fun oil combos today my house is smelling like something over the rainbow! ⁣

Check out my recommended March blends on the blog and let me know which you think would be your fave!  Or, leave me your fave blend combo below! ⁣

Tonight we were working to finish up her room for now and I realized I haven’t shared anything about it really!  Oops!  So today on the blog you’ll find the mood board I made for her room even before we moved in, links for things I’ve picked out and more and a sneak peek at how it’s going!  But I’m wondering — what do you think is a must have in a kids room?! ⁣
⁣
I’m loving having a chance to flex my creativity again in the decor department and while it’s super frustrating at times — these tiny clients are very opinionated! — I’m doing my best with what we have and really enjoying mixing (mostly) old and new again! ⁣
