As we were wrapping up another year this past week, I spent some time thinking about what was different for me in 2015. What was the one event or activity or mindset that marked the year? Like the past few years, photography was a big focus for me. But I actually had a big shift…
As much as I love coloring, doodling, photography and creating images on my computer, I’m really lacking in creative skills when it comes to decorating my house. So I always get excited when I complete a DIY decorating project that actually turns out well. This week, I’ve been working on a few DIY projects that…
Earlier this week, a friend of mine posted a link to my Facebook wall about doodling. This seems to be a fairly common occurrence for me. I’m pretty sure it was at least the tenth time someone has sent me a link about some awesome method of doodling or coloring. But the second I saw…
OK. So I have a cute and super simple DIY project that I’m going to show you, but you have to promise not to laugh… cause it involves looking inside my fridge. Recently, I saw an idea to create fridge mats out of place mats you can buy at Target. I was so excited to…
I have been meaning to write a blog post for a while about one of my favorite rooms in our house. Last fall, I decorated our 10 year old’s room in an animal print theme. As I was cleaning her room this week, I decided to snap some pics. Her room is always warm and…

Our darling oldest daughter turned 10 today. TEN! Double digits! From the day she was born, we have talked about how much joy and excitement she has brought to this family. We love her fun-loving spirit, her creativity and ability to make friends with every person she meets. She put quite a lot of thought…
It’s hard to believe that we are closing in on the one month mark in your new house. I would love to say that we’ve all just been sitting back and relaxing and enjoying the view 24/7. But in reality, we’ve been working our tails off around here. Just when we thought we had done…
Tucked in between Thanksgiving and Christmas and the last of our four children’s fall birthdays, it always seems that Jayda’s birthday sneaks up on me. While the other kids have been having birthday parties since they were 1, I haven’t managed to put together a birthday party for her YET!… Until this year. Less than…
I’ve always wanted to do an Advent calendar with my kids. But somehow, the Christmas season always seems to sneak up on me so fast that it takes me halfway through December to even get in the Christmas spirit. It seems like the fact that Thanksgiving was so late this year somehow helped me kick…
