After walking through a vintage shop last weekend that sold handmade little girl dresses, I got totally inspired to make one for Avery. I looked online and found really easy instructions for making a very basic dress, using leftover fabric from the birthday party I threw for my sister-in-law. These are some shots I took […]

Last night we had friends over for a cozy little dinner and I had to share some of the recipes I used. So, so, so good. Perfection. You must try it. Drippy Swiss cheese melted on French bread, floating in onion soup deliciousness..I’m mean, come on! Tyler’s Ultimate French Onion Soup Ingredients:1/2 cup unsalted butter4 […]

So I saw this fabric flower tutorial on Rhonna Ferrer’s super-creative blog and of course my head started spinning. I have to try that!I am such a copy-er. Isn’t it cute? All it takes is a piece of satin ribbon or fabric, some needle and thread, and hot glue. It’s as easy as that! I […]

Thank you so much to Layla at The Lettered Cottage and Rhoda at Southern Hospitality for featuring my nursery makeover on their blogs! I am beyond flattered and excited that so many people love the space like I do! I thought I’d answer some questions that a few readers had about the room… Q. I […]

I am such a girl. I’m a skirt wearin’, French-inspired, headband lovin’, pink adoring, party planning, ruffle obsessing, GIRL! And I believe my little girl is following in my footsteps. Yesterday at Ikea (her first time since she was a toddler), she shrieked at the sight of the decorated rooms. She kept saying, “I could […]

Aaahh, the room I have been waiting to show you for over a year! Yes, it really did take that long to finish (actually, it’s not even quite done yet). And, no, it was not supposed to take that long. Three months at the most. But you know how it is when you do all […]

So my little girl turned 4 yesterday and to say that she is proud is a complete understatement. She keeps saying, “Now I’m taller! And I’m going to school soon!” She is positively itching to go to school like her bigger cousin Anna. In awe of the cake. And boy was it simple to make! […]

We are lucky enough to have friends who are pilots (well, the hubby is anyway) and so we get the privilege of flying to different parts of the Northeast with them on quick trips. We’ve gone to Niagara Falls, Boston, Atlantic City, and this weekend we headed to Cape May, NJ for the day – […]

Today was one of those days. One of those pivotal days in my life. This morning I went to the doctor for a routine 14-week prenatal visit. I had confided in my sister-in-law Andrea last night that I was feeling nervous about going. For the past week or so, I just haven’t felt as “pregnant” […]

Can I just say that for the past few weeks I have been sitting out on my porch and staring at my roses – willing them to start blooming! And they have started!! So FUN! Oh, the things that get me excited! I wanted to do a bunch of container plants on the porch but […]
