Last weekend I went on a quick trip to Ohio with my sister, mom, and my Avery to hang out with some family (my mom is from that area) and what a blast we had! Had brunch at this always-fabulous little bistro. I think I have over 80 cousins on my mom’s side of the […]

I’ve decided to join The Pleated Poppy in her “What I Wore” series. Not because I’m proud of my clothes. Or think I have a great fashion sense. THAT is laughable!! But I think it’s fun to see what other people are wearing, so I thought I’d throw my hat in the ring too. I […]

Have you heard of Leen the Graphics Queen? They have some awesome vinyl wall graphics in their shop! I was completely flattered when I got an email from Leen saying that they created a new product inspired by the painted lettering that I did in my nursery here. And here is the design that’s available […]

…an expert poo picker-upper, mom to two littles plus a bouncing one in the belly, and wife to one hard-working guy. I gotta warn you – my life is not very exciting, so you may be bored to tears! Let’s see what happens! Tuesday, July 6 7:00am – Wake up and hear Jack babbling in […]

I promised to give you some sneak peaks of Jack’s nautical-inspired bedroom, so here you go! I’m not finished yet, but I’ll show you some of what I’ve been working on. This old, peely, chippy, blue wooden hook-thingy (aren’t I technical??) is what started it all. Literally. I bought it at a barn sale for […]

Eleven years. This weekend the hubs and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary. And I cannot believe it’s been that long. Time flies, doesn’t it? We got married when I was 20 and he was 22. We spent the next 7 years figuring out how this marriage thing works (still working on that!), doing lots […]

Ok, so remember how I said a few days ago that painting ceilings is kinda like torture? I was wrong. So very wrong. I learned this weekend that painting diamond patterns on a hardwood floor is much, much closer to torture. Much. But I got it all DONE!! What a fantabulous feeling. And here’s how […]

I wasn’t planning on working on any major projects this week, but, as often happens, inspiration hit. Full force. And when I decide to work on something, I go all the way. Until it’s done. Without thinking about how tired I will be at the end of the day or how neglected my dear children […]

Add one gorgeous cabin (yeah, not very rustic, eh?)… Plus swimming in the lake with new friends… Plus one dirty little boy who likes to dig in the sand, put sand it in his mouth and hair, and who just learned that playing in the water is quite possibly the most fun he’s ever had… […]
