Christmas 2013 was filled to the brim with family, happy kiddos, relaxing, and more family time. So fun. Hope you and yours had a wonderful Christmas as well!

I’ve worked with the folks at Kohl’s on a few projects, and I have to say, they have always been awesome to work with. A few months ago they asked me if I’d like to be involved in a campaign to give some needy families much needed essentials for Christmas. I thought this would be […]

Every year around the end of November when the Christmas orders are flooding in and I’m realizing that December is going to be a really busy month, I threaten to myself that I won’t decorate my house for Christmas. This year was no exception. I was overwhelmed and vowed that I wasn’t going to get […]

I’ve always been fascinated by hardware stores. And my dad’s wood shop. And tools. And how engineers figure out how to make tunnels under water, and how the internet works, and airplanes, and why yeast makes bread rise. But, I digress. Every year over the Thanksgiving weekend, the girls in my family have a craft […]

  Oh, how I love Thanksgiving. Spending quality time with my very favorite people on earth (who happen to be my family). And eating the best comfort food ever. I really believe that having a grateful heart is the answer to SO MANY issues that we have. Despite what we might be going through, we […]

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? I am a last-minute person and can hardly make myself do any shopping or decorating until Thanksgiving is over. And I just LOVE Thanksgiving and hate to lose it in the Christmas frenzy.  This Christmas season I’m so excited to be teaming up with Kohl’s and United Way […]

I added a few new signs to the shop this week! One of the most fun things for me is to come up with new designs – it just never gets old! Here are a few new winter signs… I love all things nautical, so this sign is one of my current favs. We found […]

This morning I was taking some product photos and snapped some of my favorite little spots around the house. Totally random, but that’s ok. The entryway. I’m still loving the crates and baskets for the kid’s shoes. It works really well. My favorite parts of our 1920 house? Arched doorways, glass door knobs, and original […]

Hi friends! November is here and will be gone before we know it. In the midst of the busyness of life, I’m so thankful for the changing seasons. A reminder that we aren’t in control. Some seasons are cold and hard and some are sunny and carefree. Let’s embrace all of it and be grateful […]

Hello Monday! Hello cool, crisp autumn air that I’m not quite used to yet. Hello gearing up for the rush of holiday sign orders. Hello apple cider (this kind is my fav) and all things pumpkin-flavored. Hello fondue! I haven’t gotten out my fondue pot since the late ’90’s, but a few weeks ago we […]
