GIFT GUIDE: FOR HER

This is the first year in I don’t know how long that I’m actually way ahead of schedule with my Christmas shopping AND actually have my Christmas cards ready to drop in the mail, so I actually have the chance to put some items together for the ladies in your life- friends, sisters, mommas, or…

ENTERTAINING FAVORITES FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Thanksgiving is a week away and since we will be traveling again this year, I’ll be celebrating turkey day a little early at home. I’ve already started going through all my entertaining favorites, polishing silver and pulling table linens I want to use this year, so I thought I’d share a roundup of pieces that…

SNIPPETS OF FALL

It’s finally feeling like fall around these parts and the weather couldn’t be more incredible! Although we are still jumping about thirty degrees between drop off in the morning and pickup in the afternoon, it’s so nice having cool nights for sleeping and temps in the seventies for riding bikes and spending as much time…

FALL DESIGN BOOKS

I always look forward to all the new design books debuting in the fall and this year there is quite a bevy of beauties soon to be released! There is nothing I love more than curling up with a beautiful design book; no matter how many times I’ve flipped through some of my favorites, there…

HALLOWEEN, BUT MAKE IT CUTE

Happy October, a few days late! Decorating for Halloween is right up there for my kiddos with decorating for Christmas, so I was so excited to get started while they were at school yesterday! I’ve been hanging these bats in our living room, which wrap all the way around to the kitchen, for the last…

THE GREAT DEBATE: TO PAINT OR NOT TO PAINT?

A few years back, I found this beautiful Thomasville buffet at a church sale and knew it would be the perfect piece for our entry. It was in beautiful shape, the wood really warmed up the space and the drawers and cabinets have been so helpful in storing our ever-growing collection of board games and…

MOM UNIFORM / FALL WARDROBE PICKS

A few weeks back, I asked what you guys would like to see more of here on the blog and an overwhelming number of you asked for clothing/wardrobe picks! I’m the farthest thing from a fashion blogger, but I thought we would switch gears from all things design and decor to share a few fall…

FALL FINDS

Fall is officially tomorrow, but we’ve got a ways to go until it starts feeling anything like it. The weather has been absolutely beautiful lately – cooler temps in the early mornings when I’m taking the littles to school and then low 80’s by pickup, perfect for bike rides and last-minute stops at the park…

WHERE TO FIND MYRTLE TOPIARY

If you’ve been following along for a while, you know I have a mild obsession with myrtle topiary. They bring such a sculptural element and a beautiful pop of green to any space and look gorgeous in mass groupings, which is my favorite way to display them. The flowers my little miss and I planted…

JULY/AUG (p)INSPIRATION

Hello, hello and Happy Almost September! I always have the best intentions to blog over the summer, but as soon as my littles are out of school, my focus completely shifts to them and, naturally, the blog gets neglected. Now that we are back in the school year, it’s time to dust off the laptop…

A FOOLPROOF (AND INCREDIBLE) BREAD RECIPE

Homemade bread is one of the few things I’ve always been intimidated to try making myself. It always seemed like so much work, time and ingredients to waste if it didn’t turn out well, and I can’t stand to put all that energy into something to have it be a big disappointment. I’m hyper conscious…

JUNE (p)INSPIRATION

A little roundup of some recent summer pins I’ve been saving as of late, since that’s currently my favorite thing to do after catching up on Yellowstone (also heavily obsessed!) This time of year, I’m pinning lots of scenes from the Amalfi Coast, cedar shake beauties on the East Coast, simple summer recipes that can…
