BEAUTIFUL LIGHTING THAT WON’T BREAK THE BANK
One of my favorite ways to add warmth and coziness to a room is with beautiful lighting. I really dislike recessed lights; even with a dimmer, it can be really harsh, but I know that going without sometimes just isn’t an option, so I like to layer beautiful table lamps, floor lamps, sconces and pendant…

SPRING (p)INSPIRATION
Happy first day of spring! We’ve been blessed with the most incredible weather, but it’s been accompanied by a healthy dose of pollen on EVERYTHING. The longer days and post-dinner walks with the kiddos may have us all covered in yellow, but it’s been so worth it to have extra time outside before the heat…

LOVING LATELY
I’m loving the unseasonably cold weather we’ve been having lately – it’s been the perfect chance to cozy up with some favorite design books and peruse some goodies online while the littles are at school.

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…

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…

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…
