I am in love with my new house. There, I said it. It’s a fantastic house filled with so many great features and is giving us so many project ideas that we can barely keep up with ourselves. We have been working on the kids’ playroom a lot lately because they tend to spend quite …

Yes, I’m going to admit it, I’m kind of a Pottery Barn junkie. Whether it is Pottery Barn or the kids and teens options, or the Pottery Barn Outlet, I just LOVE the style. As soon as those catalogs hit our mailbox, I’m on the couch drooling over all the things that I wish I …
Last year we moved into our first home and with a blank slate I have about 10,000 pending projects. All inspired by Pinterest of course 🙂 One of my top projects was a collage wall and this Spring I gathered all my frames and favorite photos to make it happen! I learned a few tricks …
Until this past weekend, I had no idea that Easter is officially the “Family Photo Holiday.” Who knew, right?!? Seriously, I have never seen as many family photos posted on Facebook as I did this past Sunday. Ever. Even Christmas can’t compete! And the craziest thing about it – is that I was right there …
Today is week 5 of our Building a House with Pinterest series. You may have noticed that we skipped last Wednesday for our weekly building a home update posts. Sorry about that. With returning from Disneyland and Easter preparations last week, we decided to hold off on posting our next update. No worries because this …
Welcome to week 4 of our Building a House with Pinterest series. Last week was all about the playroom and this week we are focusing on the laundry room. I have to say that the laundry room is my least favorite room to hang out in because nothing fun is going on in there. With …

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 …
