Walt and I like to have friends over but I always feel like our house to be complete as in fully decorated and organized. Well, if I'm honest with myself that will never happen. My tastes are always changing and we are always tweaking something. So a few weeks ago, we had a few friends over (using Cinco de Mayo as an excuse). We planned to just have a few friends and neighbors over to play but then the weather changed and we were stuck inside. I was a little concerned about how I'd fit 10 adults … [Continue reading...]

 To be honest, I’m a little uncomfortable with Mother’s Day. It brings mixed emotions for many and isolates others. There are women who embrace their mothers and others who miss theirs. There are women filled with love that hug and kiss their children and others that yearn for the opportunity to do so one day. Personally, I don’t think we should need a designated day [...]

I was really wondering if I was ever going to get this post posted. Having a 9 month old that is into EVERYTHING doesn’t allow me much time on the computer these days. Last Monday, April 22 was Earth Day. In the spirit of the event, I thought I’d share an recycled or up-cycled project. (I [...]

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned my plan to have Townes’ nursery design (aka a moodboard) complete by the end of the month. Haha! That wasn’t taking to account Easter weekend and getting bitten by the stomach bug. I felt icky for about a week – ugh. By Saturday though I was feeling like [...]

A few weeks ago, I shared Lily’s toddler room (which was recently featured on Apartment Therapy!). I love that Lily’s room is organized and has evolved to suit her spirited and playful personality. I wish I could say the same for Townes’ room. Sadly his room has been somewhat neglected.  In our defense, he spent his [...]
