Silhouette Pillow
Last week I made this fun little pillow for Avery’s room. I’ve seen these silhouette pillows floating around blogland and decided to try to make one for my own. I made a really basic pillow cover (I’m a newbie to this sewing thing, so it is really basic!). To make the silhouette, I took a […]
Snow Day Ramblings
Once again we woke up to a delicious thick blanket of snow on the ground. It is so stinkin’ pretty!! Here is the house right across the street from us. I’ve always thought it was such a stately, beautiful house. It has a balcony above the entrance that I just love. Isn’t it pretty? You’ll […]
The {Unplanned} Haircut
As probably 95% of little girls have done, Avery gave herself a lovely little haircut this week, much to the dismay of her mama. And when I say haircut, I mean she chopped off about 1/4 of her long curly hair, plus she gave herself a 1/4″ bang smack in the middle of her forehead. […]
Puttering
This is how I spend mornings when Jack is napping and Avery is watching a video. I putter. I’m a putterer. And I have a thing for mirrors. I also have a thing for little tables, fun dishes, cozy blankets, old books, and vintage aprons. But that’s a whole ‘nother thing. I saw this mirror […]
Sometimes there are no words
My heart is so heavy right now for my good friend Beth. She is 32 weeks pregnant and just went to the hospital to deliver her baby, who is not expected to survive. Beth and her husband have two adorable kiddos and the last few weeks have been an absolute nightmare for them. You can […]
Swap Par-tay!
So I held my first “Swap Party” last week, and it was so much fun! I invited about 10 friends to come with up to 10 items each to swap. And the items could be anything. We had clothes, shoes, books, pictures, jewelry, vases, the list goes on and on. I had clothes pins for […]
Destruction
And that’s when she discovered that she should put her office things out of reach of her children. If you need me, I’ll be in my office…organizing. Happy Thursday peeps!
Baby Love
My brother Kyle and his wife Heather had this beautiful little baby girl born on Jan. 14! Just two days after Jack’s birthday! She really is amazingly beautiful isn’t she, but I suppose that’s what you would expect since she looks just like her favorite aunt. Oh, yes, that would be me! That was a […]
Birthday Boy
My littlest turned one year old last week, and we had fun celebrating! Jack is such a sweet little guy!! He’s pretty mellow, laid-back, and easy to care for, and we love him to death! Auntie Sara going in for a squeeze… He wasn’t sure what to do with his cake, but after awhile he […]
What I’m Listening To
Do you use Pandora? If not, you must. It’s a website where you can set up your own radio station for free. Right now I’m listing to my Edith Piaf station – romantic French music. As I send out an endless amount of emails to clients. Makes me feel like I’m sitting in a Parisian […]
My name is Aimee & I am a snob
Well, I’m not an overall snob (at least I hope not!). I’m just a little snobby when it comes to certain areas. Yesterday I was making pancakes for lunch with Avery (yes, they have lots of nutritional value!), and I realized that I’m a pancake syrup snob. I must have real maple syrup with the […]
Flower Power
My Frenchy pillow was looking a little bare, so I added these little posies I made from the leftover fabric and a hot glue gun. They are cute, shabby, and I just love ’em! I woke up to this beautiful scene this morning. GORGEOUS! Why don’t you come over, grab a big old yummy mug […]
