flowers for mom
Mother’s Day is less than a week away! In case you missed my gift guide last week, there’s still time to order something special for your momma, but if you’re short on time or ideas, flowers are always a great option – especially when they’re presented in a gorgeous vessel! As much as I love…

Now that I have my own munchkin, Mother’s Day is one of my favorite holidays to celebrate! And not just because of the gifts (although, of course, they don’t hurt!)

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! I hadn’t meant to leave the blog hanging all last week, but things have been hella crazy; any and all free time went to wrapping up a few e-designs for two clients and I felt guilty blogging while trying to finish up their boards, but thankfully I’m…

super easy fix for leftover christmas tree clippings!
When the first frost hits and I have to relocate the ginormous Boston ferns that flank my front door to shelter in the garage, the front porch looks always looks so incredibly empty, so I’m always on the hunt for ways to add some greenery that will last throughout the winter. The local nursery we…

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! As much as I love the holiday, I was thrilled to have packed up all my fall decor and brought out the Christmas decorations! If I had my way, this year I’d have pulled everything out the day after Halloween. It’s a whole new ballgame now that…

be mine
I’ve never been a huge fan of Valentine’s Day, but I’ve never been shy about my love for shopping for the holiday, either! A good bottle of wine and some delectable chocolates are right up my alley (and go a long way on any other day of the year!), but, here are some of my…
