I’m sitting on my porch watching the roses literally bloom right before my eyes! So incredibly beautiful!

We took a quick trip to New York City last weekend with our friends Kent & Sheila. It’s my second-favorite city (next to Paris, of course!) and it was fun to do some exploring and lots of eating! We left Avery at home with her Grandma and took Jack along. He loved all the walking! […]

I have such a weakness for finding a good bargain! I’m telling ya, it’s addicting! Here are the latest… My mom found this cute little bedside table for my nursery at Goodwill. It was a little banged up, so I banged it up even more (distressed it) and painted the handles dark brown (they were […]

Summer is just around the corner! I can feel it! Corn on the cob, barefeet, trips to the beach, walking to the park, eating ice cream cones, hearing the birds chirp, smelling the flowers blooming, opening the car windows, cotton skirts, fresh strawberries, riding bikes, bbqs with friends… Ahhh! Can you tell I LOVE summer?! […]

My mom’s birthday and Mother’s Day are always close together, so this year my sister and sister-in-laws and I decided to take my mom out for tea to celebrate at Ye Olde English Shoppe. We had such a fun time drinking tea (orange squash for me!), eating some amazing scones, laughing, and planning our upcoming […]

I recently finished this skirt that I started last Thanksgiving. I know, I’m a speedy seamstress! Don’t look too close – you can tell a beginner made it! But at least I’m trying! (and please forgive the pasty white legs!) My favorite parts of sewing are fabric shopping and designing what I want to make. […]

Last weekend I made the trek to Ikea in Philly with my sister-in-law and some friends and what a fun day we had! I can never resist that store! It calls my name!! Here are a few goodies I got… A set of hooks for the front entrance… and a wine glass holder for underneath […]

I found this adorable skirt at Goodwill last week and just HAD to have it! It was a size 0 and, ahem, let’s just say it didn’t even begin to fit me! So I tried to think of a way that I could use it for something else and came up with a summer dress […]

A cute purse/diaper bag that I luuuurve…found on clearance at Tarjay. Little missy peeking out from the “tent” she made out of a blanket and a table. She was either playing or pooping…probably pooping. She enjoys pooping under tables, in closets, under couches, in corners…anywhere BUT the toilet. So lovely. She’s turning into quite a […]

Here is a little photo book that I made for Hubs for his birthday, which was yesterday. Originally, I was going to make it for Valentine’s Day but I didn’t get it done in time, so I thought it would be a good birthday gift. And he loved it! I used Shutterfly to make the […]

So how do you like this beauty of a room? What’s that? You can’t believe your eyes? You want to see more pictures? Ok, here you go… Isn’t it lovely? My favorite parts? The 1970’s paneling, the tiles on the ceiling, the “vintage” ceiling light, the concrete floor…need I say more? This strange little room […]
