I hope you all had a great holiday weekend.  We not only celebrated Easter/April Fools, but also my father’s birthday as well as a kickoff to Spring Break!  Even though we are staying in town, the girl and I are hitting up the amusement park a few times this week and in between roller coaster visits she is being my assistant on a few projects.  … Read More

Phew!  So we have had quite an exciting few weeks… The husband had surgery and at the same time the kiddo was home with a high fever for days upon days.  So I spent 99.9% of my time on nurse duty.  On my sporadic moments of down time, I decided we needed two floor lamps for our living room.  All because that is the practical thing to do during times of recovery.  … Read More

Spring keeps sneaking in & then wham another cold dreary day, but I am CRAVING Spring like no other this year.  While I have been loving neutrals more and more the past year, a good hit of color always brightens my mood (or a space!).  I thought what better than to share a round up of colorful accessories that are all under $100 (most are under $50!) to keep us motivated until the warmer weather and sunshine are here for good.… Read More

If you have read my blog for any amount of time, you might realize by now that I have a thing for faces or portraits.  Abstract, photography, paintings, vintage, new… for some reason I am enamored by them and gravitate towards them.  We have faces allover our own home (all over #ProjectFamJam as well!) and today I get to introduce a new face to you all.  … Read More

The flu has hit our house…. no bueno.  So while the littles and I are on the mend, I thought I would share some updates from over at #ProjectFamJam.  The latest project we are tackling is their Master Bathroom.  In the original layout of the home there were two smaller bedrooms in the back of the home, one of which had a “bathroom”….… Read More

While not my favorite of holidays, my opinion is if you are going to give someone a Valentines present just make sure it isn’t drugstore chocolates! lol.  Instead, here are a few options that fit the profile but don’t come off as basic.  Be inspired by the colors, the shapes, the meaning not necessarily the theme.
