I love giving dad something sentimental from the kids for Father’s Day. There’s no better time of year to remind him just how special and loved he is. If you look around, there are plenty of free downloads on the web for Father’s Day, but this year I wanted something different that I hadn’t done or seen in…

I’ve said many times on this blog, “I don’t like Halloween.” But man, this year was so.much.fun. My kids continue to teach me that there is joy in so many little things. And taking them trick-or-treating this year was a blast. The Mr. and I both thought that this year seemed like the first “real”…
I’m totally on top of Halloween. I’ve totally finished my kids’ costumes. Halloween could be tomorrow and I would so be ready. Er…. Maybe not so much. Maybe I haven’t started any of it. But I did make this cute sneak peek board for you to look at, so that counts for something, right?!? Can…
The snow hasn’t started falling – in fact we’re still dealing with 80 degree temperatures here in Denver (which is just wrong, by the way) – but I’ve had Christmas on the brain for a few months now. That’s the beauty of selling Christmas cards; you start working on them in July so it’s all…
When we first moved into our Colorado home last year, it had been completely redone on the inside and sold as a flip. Obviously this had its perks, since we didn’t have to put a ton of money into fixing anything right off the bat. It was also a blank slate for me to decorate,…
At the beginning of the summer, I sought out to overhaul our patio a bit and make it more of a livable space. Over the years, the Mr. and I have had lots of talks about extending our living area by creating outdoor spaces to hang out. We love the idea of a smaller house…
This is one of those easy DIYs that is totally worth the time and effort. I know, I know. Right now you’re all “shut up with your annoying Pinterest-inspired chore chart that you claim is a lifesaver.” Ok, I get it. I’m annoying. But I swear I’m just like you. I’ve barely rolled out of…
Hard to believe, but another year gone and another birthday party over with. Last year, we celebrated my two boys with a joint birthday party (since both boys’ birthdays are in June) that was pirate themed. This year, we had another joint party but this time we went with a superhero theme. I have so…
You may have heard me complain a time or two about the color of our house. The outside is painted the blandest beige I’ve ever seen. And the trim is another shade of beige (yay). It’s just middle-of-the-road and boring. Even our front door was beige, which left the outside looking so flat and one…
