Some of you already know that my family is in the middle of a big move. After struggling to sell our Chicago home for over 3 years, this past January it finally happened! We had been living in a staged, for-sale home for so long that I overheard my 4 year old giving showings on …
Oh, little boys! I adore them so. Especially mine 🙂 But, I’m sure you say the same thing about yours. They are full of snuggles and belly laughs, run a million miles a minute and make their mamas gasp more than once each day. In those early impressionable years, we, as parents, are blessed with …
Sometimes renting your home means that you are very limited on what you can paint, hang, and remodel. Lots of owners don’t allow you do make any changes and you aren’t going to want to pour a lot of money into changing a space that you’re only in temporarily. We have rented plenty of spaces …
This year my daughter started preschool. Two afternoons each week she skips into her class and sings, learns and crafts her little heart out for 2 1/2 hours. At pick-up she is always thrilled to show off her day’s work. I’m equally as thrilled to see her creativity 🙂 Sometimes her projects are small and …
We just recently moved and our new house is bigger than anything else we’ve ever had before. We are used to small space living and don’t quite know what to do with all the extra space we now have. We have a playroom for my son in this new house and I have been …
We’ve been trying to move for 3 1/2 years (darn you, housing market!!) so I’m super excited that the time has finally come! I’ve been house hunting lately and seen the most amazing rooms that I just had to share with you. No these photos aren’t from my house or a house that I’ve bought …
Christmas time means lots of decorations going up! My mom is famous for her Christmas decorations and every year I swear her house looks like a winter wonderland. Complete with a Christmas tree, garlands, wreaths, nativity scenes, you name it and she has it up in her house for the holiday season! Today I wanted …
We moved a couple months ago and I have had the time of my life decorating. We’re usually just in temporary spots so I never want to paint or decorate too much because then I just have to pack it up and move it all a few months later. This has been the first home …
My children have always loved books … turning pages, laughing at silly animals, identifying shapes. Reading has always been a relaxing time for us. A time to snuggle up with a warm blanket – one child on my lap and one tight against my side. Books will always be tied tightly to my memories of …
I have an obsession and its name is Pinterest. Pinterest has it all. From recipes to fashion to DIY projects. If I’m looking for something, chances are my beloved Pinterest has it waiting for me. We just recently moved back to my hometown of Los Angeles and our new house is bigger than anything we’ve …
Yesterday it was all about the Big Boy Rooms so today we are turning to the girls! My youngest is turning 3 this fall and I know we’re on the brink of passing her toddler bed onto her brother and venturing into the world of big girl rooms. I’m kind of in denial, but this …
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not really a “theme” girl. Well, I like simple themes – colors, infusions of a specific animal or hobby, but nothing too matchy matchy. Now that I have both a little girl and a little boy I spend a lot of time dreaming about their big rooms …
