As I was getting ready for my weekly “spa night” (this is a gross overstatement, btw), I was thinking about all the “little happys” in my life right now. And I’m sure you have many, too. Things that just bring you little bits of joy throughout your day and week. So I made a list: […]

I was asked to decorate the bulletin board for our church’s Women’s Ministry, and I thought I’d share the results in case any of you need some ideas for a memo/bulletin board. Here’s what the bulletin board looked like – very generic and straight from the office supply store… And here’s what it looks like […]

Here’s an idea on how to make a winter wreath that’s fairly easy and costs next to nothing. I bought rectangular pieces of foam from the craft store, cut them to size to make a square, and hot glued the pieces together (an electric bread knife works great for cutting foam). Then I hot glued […]

Ok, so I have a little bragging to do, but don’t worry, it’s not about me! My sister Sara is the proud new owner of a little coffee shop that she bought a few months ago and I couldn’t be more happy for her! This has been her dream for a few years and considering […]

Did you guys catch Rachael Ray’s show last Thursday? She interviewed model/athlete Gabrielle Reese who talked about the benefits of having close friends to talk to and to give and receive advice. Here’s what she said… “If you plug into three or four great friends, they’re like the bees on the honey line. You can […]

A beautiful young bride, a handsome young groom, and love was in the air! What more could you ask for! I coordinated this wedding for Faith & Jordan in August and thought I’d just share some snapshots of their beautiful day. They had large extended families and lots of friends that were so much fun […]

I’ve been off the blogging radar a bit more than usual in the past few weeks, and I just wanted to let you know that I’m alive and well – just very busy! *NESTING!* One word explains it all! I’ve been stocking up on the baby essentials like diapers, bottles, blankets, all that good stuff. […]

Avery’s new “big-girl” room has been a work-in-progress for me this summer, and it’s been so much fun! I’m not quite finished yet, but I thought I’d share what I’ve done so far.I decided to go with a vintage look with lots of pinks and neutral colors. Originally, this room had the most hideous John […]
