One Second Everyday in February
I mentioned in this post how I am trying to do a better job of capturing everyday life so that I remember what our life is like years from now when my memory will surely fail me. The app called One Second Everyday is a great way to do just that. You record one second […]
Wrapping up the week
It was a fun, busy week working on new things in the studio! Lots of experimenting, painting, and creating. It just doesn’t get much better than that. I’m finishing up with renovating the girls’ room, and it’s so close to being finished. It’s always that last 10% that seems to drag on and take forever […]
Reclaimed Wood Ocean Paintings
Spring is just around the corner, which means I’m starting to get a lot more orders for my reclaimed ocean paintings. These are truly so unique and fun for me to create! Hubs is a master at choosing the reclaimed wood specifically for each piece. Did I ever mention I love old wood? Well, I […]
“You’re Already Home” family sign
I have a new family sign available in the shop! The sign is available here. Happy Monday!
Wrapping up the week
A look out my studio window last week… I don’t even know where the time goes, but suddenly it is Friday again! Our apple trees were pruned yesterday, and that made it feel like Spring just might be around the corner. It is such a fun time of year to watch the outside slowly come […]
Books I’m Reading
At the beginning of the year I made a goal of reading at least one book a month. I used to read books all the time, but as more and more kiddos came along, my time got limited and I just don’t have a lot of brain space or time to read. But I know […]
Tassel Necklaces
My friend Wanda who makes the most beautiful jewelry has some new tassel necklaces available in her Etsy shop that I just had to tell you about! The fun thing about the necklaces is that they can be used as an essential oil diffuser. You can add a drop of oil onto the leather fringes. […]
One Second Every Day
I have a really terrible long-term memory. I can’t tell you who my third grade teacher was. Or how we celebrated New Years Eve last year. Or how much my kids’ weighed when they were born. In fact, I can barely remember their birth dates. I know. Enter this really great app I found through […]
How to make a hanging side table DIY
On my bedroom makeover post, I had showed a fun DIY project I made for a hanging bedside table, and I thought I’d show you how I made it. I was searching for the perfect sized desk, table, or dresser to put beside the bed, then it occurred to me that I could make one […]
Wrapping up the week
We celebrated Sawyer’s third birthday on Monday! It felt like a pretty big milestone in our journey since we brought him home last April. He is a tiny little guy and looks like he just turned two. He still wears 18 months clothes and because he isn’t able to talk much yet, he seems much […]
Wedding Signs
I have a collection of wedding signs now available in the shop! The signs are customizable and can be made in any of our available colors. The “Mr” and “Mrs” signs can be hung on the back of chairs or propped on a table as shown here. You can find the signs on my website […]
What I’m listening to {podcasts}
So I’ve often written about my love of podcasts on the blog, but I had friends who recently asked what my favorites are and since I’ve added some new ones lately, I thought I’d share them here. I often listen to podcasts while I’m driving or painting. I typically don’t listen to them while I’m doing […]
