Spring Dresses

April 11, 2017 | Leave a Comment

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…

Sprucing up the outdoors for spring and summer

March 23, 2016 | Leave a Comment

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,…

Jumpsuits for spring

April 15, 2015 | Leave a Comment

Jumpsuits are mah jam. I mean, how much easier can it be to get dressed when your shirt and pants are already connected?? With spring on the way, I’ve already purchased two jumpsuits and don’t plan on stopping. I’m a fan of pants or floods and tend to feel weird in rompers (with shorts), but…

{ note: I wanted to post this earlier this week, but my internet provider decided to turn off my internet on Wednesday… hooray! So here I sit at a coffee shop the day before Easter and I realize that it may be a little late to shop for Easter dresses, but shoot – it’s never…

Maxi Dress & Denim [What I Wore]

March 18, 2015 | 4 Comments

In two more days it will officially be spring. Hallelujah! We are already reaping the benefits here in Colorado; this weekend saw temps up to 77, and it. was. glorious. I can’t tell you how good it felt to have the sun on my skin again! And I broke out the dresses even though my…

Wearing pastels for spring { a little pinspiration }

April 24, 2014 | Leave a Comment

I’ve got another fashion obsession… they come and go, in case you haven’t noticed. My most recent have included kimonos, maxi skirts, and menswear looks. But with the recent start of spring, I am drooling over pastel looks.

WIWW: Kimonos are my best friend.

April 9, 2014 | Leave a Comment

In the last couple of months, I have had no desire to wear anything form fitting. It’s all elastic waists over here, my friends. So when I started seeing kimonos popping up at different stores, I got pretty excited. Not only would it suit my needs for loose clothing, but anytime I can find regular,…

DIY Easter bunny treats and gifts

April 4, 2014 | Leave a Comment

Every Easter I love giving small gifts to family and friends. In the past, I’ve given away little Easter baskets, DIY beanbag chicks and bunny tails (marshmallows), and this year I was inspired by all the cute bunny treat bags and gifts that I’ve come across. Who knew you could make an apple look like a bunny?

Free spring printable & a new Easter photo card

March 25, 2014 | 3 Comments

I have a feeling Easter will be here before we know it. I am hoping to be on top of it this year and start gathering Easter basket goodies now and prepping Easter cards, but good intentions aren’t always enough… In any event, I did get a new Easter card up in my Etsy shop that would be perfect to showcase your little bunnies:

WIWW: A revived purple dress

June 5, 2013 | Leave a Comment

Hello, friends! After a long, busy weekend of traveling, I am finally home and have gotten a spare moment to write. Our trip to Colorado was tiring, but I feel so excited and content with our upcoming move. We found some areas we really love and are hoping to find available housing there in the coming months; at which point we will pack up and take off!

I get it. It's a little weird. But the girls I've I get it. It's a little weird.
But the girls I've seen do it best, look adorable.

I think it looks best with an oversized tee or sweatshirt, tennies or slides, and a small crossbody bag.

You can't argue with comfort.

For the record, these are women's sleep shorts that I've had a couple of years from Old Navy. If you buy actual men's boxers, you might consider sewing up the pee pocket 😜

Don't spend a lot on this trend; these shorts are made from the thinnest of fabric and shouldn't cost much. Don't be fooled by a retailer that wants you to spend just because it's trendy.

But if you see some cute boxers and want to give it a go - then do! Bonus - if/when the trend ends, you'll have pajamas on the ready 👏

It's solid weekend wear, but I'm not going out to dinner in it...

Another project down in my son's room! I knew I w Another project down in my son's room!

I knew I wanted some sort of built-in feature in this bedroom, but it was hard to figure out what, because we turned it into an active space where he could run and play and needed a lot of room.

So I settled on a built-in bookcase with the slatted design feature, which I'm in love with!

The best part about it is that if he ever decides to upgrade his bed, the space will also accommodate a full or queen size bed going in the opposite direction. It adds so much interest to this room and hopefully will be here for a long time!

One of the things I love most about DIY projects is figuring out how to make something - it's like a giant puzzle. I saw photos of these slotted wall room dividers on Pinterest and just figured it out as I went. All in all, I had very few hiccups and it only took me a few hours to put together. I think I only cursed once?!? And so I call that an extreme DIY win...

Now that the sports wall, the climbing wall, and the built-in feature are complete, the last thing to do in here is some additional painting. I'm thinking of using a contrasting blue color for the closet doors and back side of the built-in, and perhaps trimming out the window with it as well. Then I need to switch out the light for a fan and this.room.is done 🙌

Details: I used two IKEA billy bookshelves, screwed together and secured to the wall. Then wrapped them in white oak plywood. I ripped down 2x4s into 1.5x1.5" square dowels (heavily sanded!) and used pocket holes on the back side of each to secure to the bookshelf and the 1x4 in the ceiling. It's very sturdy!

This climbing wall took half a day and cost under This climbing wall took half a day and cost under $100!

We are lucky enough to have 13' ceilings in our bedrooms, so a climbing wall seemed to make sense in my son's room as we worked on the remodel.

He is a super active kid with #ADHD, so his room redo has involved lots of activity spaces! Go back in my reels to see past projects and follow to see me finish this up!

I added very subtle striping to the wall to mimic a soccer field and keep things classy. ⚽

Stick around to see the next project - a climbing wall!
