I’m trying not to have a panic attack. But honestly, how is it already May?!? I swear 2017 just started, didn’t it? Although I can’t even remember what my resolutions were… did I have any? Anyway, I digress. Mother’s Day will be here before we know it, so it’s probably a good time to start…
My heart is so happy. I had an incredible 5 days away at Craftcation where I created, learned and formed a new strategy for my business going forward. Beyond feeling re-energized, excited and inspired, I feel confident. I feel empowered. Tiffany Han gave our closing keynote and made us repeat these words: “I am a person who…
The title of this post basically encompasses everything I am passionate about when it comes to home decor. Give me shiplap and give it to me on every wall. That’s how to make me a happy lady. So when we moved into our home 2 years ago and the walls were all textured, blank and…
I don’t know about you, but as spring unfolds, all I want to wear are florals, pastels, and light and airy fabrics. Often times, I am lying to myself about how warm it is outside and my thin white crepe dress has left me with permanent goosebumps. But, whatever. I look good, I feel good…
Finding Easter basket fillers can sometimes be challenging; not only do they have to be items small enough to fit inside a basket, but I also don’t like spending an arm and a leg on them. I try to include a compilation of things that my children both want and need, while still making it something special and different each year.
That’s a lot of thinking to put into one little basket…
A couple of weeks ago, my family flew to California for both a family wedding and my mom’s retirement party. That makes two retired parents for me, which is great because it means I don’t have to throw any more retirement parties (ha ha). My dad retired a few years ago, and now my mom…
I talked about my desire to simplify in 2017 when I blogged about my daughter’s birthday party and how I threw all the rules of today’s party-throwing society out the window. It was the opposite of Pinteresty and it was entirely put together with Target goods and Papa Murphy’s pizza. It was glorious. That’s just…
Friends, I have been wanting to write this post for a while because I am so in love with this product. This is not sponsored, and I’m not getting paid to rave about it, I just really like it. photo via Glamour.com, Emily Kemp Back story: I don’t like makeup. I mean, I like how…
I’m declaring “non-Pinteresty” a new word. Somebody call the Urban Dictionary guys. One of my goals for 2017 is to simplify and back off of social media a bit, and I don’t think I’m alone. It seems like moms (and women, in general) are reaching their limit with the fake facade presented on social media – it’s…
This year seemed to come and go quickly; probably because I was so busy for most of it. Slowing down has never been my strong suit, and I’m actually learning that it’s a real problem for me! But in the midst of work and raising kids and new hobbies and new commitments, I feel like…
