This year marks a milestone for my husband and myself. We’ve never been on a true “beach” vacation together… in the past, we’ve always done big city vacations like Chicago and Portland. But this year is our ten year anniversary and I told the Mr. that we are going to sit on a beach and…
With the end of the school year quickly approaching, it’s once again time to start thinking about how to honor your kids’ teachers for all the hard work they’ve done over the year. I still don’t know how teachers do it… I would lose my mind if I was in a room of 20-30 kids…
Mom deserves the very best, don’t you think? Yes, I’m mostly saying that because I’m a mom. BUT STILL. You know how I love me some handmade gifts. And every time I turn around there are more awesome ideas floating around the internet for DIY gifts for mom. So I’ve rounded up some of my…
A few weeks ago, I attended a business and crafting conference for handmade shop owners and it rocked my world. There is just something so amazing about being with your people, ya know? Especially for creatives. We just feed off of each other. Most of us are a bit quirky, a lot of us are…
We keep having funny weather here in Colorado, which is making my wardrobe completely schizophrenic. One day I’m wearing a dress and sandals, and the next I’m in a sweater, jeans and boots. It can go from 75 to 39 overnight – from sun to snow. It’s all very confusing.
Since I can’t pack away all my winter clothes just yet and my spring/summer clothes are already out for those random warm days, I am taking the opportunity with this very full closet to mix and match in new ways.
I can title this post as such because I consider myself to be one of those “lazy people” – particularly when it comes to memory keeping. I feel the draw to hold onto and preserve memories just as much as the next mom, but quite frankly I think our generation is putting WAY too much pressure on…
I hate mud. I hate wood floors and mud. I hate kids and mud. I’m type-A, after all, and messes freak me out. When we moved to Colorado from California, I realized I had a new battle to deal with: winter boots covered in snow and mud that just wouldn’t quit – oh, and 3…
Ok, so technically it is in the 30s right now and I have about 2 feet of snow blocking a good portion of my windows. But I won’t let winter’s last storms get me down; I’m thinking about sunshine and spring and backyard barbecues. It’s on its way, so I might as well begin preparations,…
// What I Wore posts exist solely to inspire you to look into your closet and mix it up a bit. When I feel good about the way I look, I’m happier and more productive, and I want you to feel the same! You don’t have to shop frequently, just play around with what you have and learn…
When I began looking up projects to do for my daughter’s art-themed birthday party, I wanted something simple, age-appropriate (4-7 year olds) and not super messy (I know, I know, but kids + paint gives me a heart attack – even at an art party in a controlled environment made for crafting…). I knew this…
