Family
There’s just nothing like family, and I am so thankful for mine! My mom’s side of the family is from Ohio, so we go out to visit every now and then. In my mom’s immediate family there were 10 girls (yes, 10!) and 1 boy (can you even imagine??). You should hear the noise when […]
The Blissful!
Avery & I spent the last few days with my mom & sis in Ohio visiting many, many relatives and having a great time! One of the best parts of the trip was our visit to The Blissful, a French-inspired store in Canton with all kinds of goodies! Thank you Melissa for the recommendation on […]
A little bit of Christmas
I’ve been having a good time getting out my Christmas decorations and going to town with them! Here is a little bit of what I’ve been up to… These are snow balls I made with paper mache and glitter…The fireplace mantle…I hung snowflake ornaments from the curtain rod in the dining room…The centerpiece on the […]
Here comes Christmas!
I haven’t done a stitch of Christmast decorating yet, but these pictures by our friend Martha are inspiring me! I typically start my decorating right after Thanksgiving, but right now I’m in the full swing of redoing my bedroom (painting, rearranging furniture, etc.). So my Christmas trees, ornaments, and wreaths will have to wait a […]
Growing up!
My baby turned 18 months old today, so I decided to take some photos to mark the occasion! So fun…
Oprah Goodness!
Holy Moly! Did any of you see Oprah today? Wow – it was just my cup of tea! She showed homes of people who are just regular folks – and they did amazing things with their houses for not a lot of money. They look like they are right out of a design magazine! So […]
To Ikea & Beyond!
This week I spend a wonderful, child-free day shopping with these lovely ladies… My sister-in-law Heather, my sister Sara, and my mom We started our day at Ikea and can I tell you? That store sings to me. Really. (Thank you Andrea for the introduction!) It is so chock-full of fun things at such low […]
Sweetness
Since Beth has been on my back about entertaining her with another post, I thought I’d do a generic “I Love My Kid” post. She’s been my little angel that past few weeks…well, not always an angel, but she keeps me preoccupied and adds much needed sweetness to my life… I’ve been doing much better […]
Chalkboard Project
A while ago I decided I wanted a small chalkboard to hang in my kitchen. Unfortunately, I also decided that I didn’t want to spend any money for one. So I thought I’d make one out of an old window. I found one along the side of the road for free… I painted the trim […]
Magazine Ideas
I am in need of subscribing to some magazines (most of mine have expired), so I’m wondering… What magazines do you subscribe to that you love?? I need ideas! Thanks!
Fall Fashion Show
So I was browsing for some fall looks that I’m liking right now…care to join me? I really like this sweater coat from Target – looks very cozy and warm. Not bad for $29.99… And this cable knit hoodie from J. Crew looks cuddly too (although on sale for $79.50 – sadly above my price […]
