One of my favorite blogs to read is A Beautiful Mess. There’s always so much inspiration, DIY projects, recipes, and phenomenal photography to be had. Awhile back, I saw this amazing Wooden Spoon Clock and fell in love. It’s so bright and cheerful and creative! This post contains affiliate links. I really wanted to recreate something like this… but I’m no Martha Stewart in the kitchen, so ... [ Read More ]
Doily-Stenciled Terra Cotta Pots
Hey friends! Mornin’ to ya! Can I just say? OUR DISHWASHER BROKE. And my time has been consumed with washing dishes. So.many.dishes.

MINIMAL supplies. DONE in under an hour. I used a ... [ Read More ]
The Dollhouse Finale (finally)
Dear friends… Nick and I have been overcome with encouragement these past few days and want to thank you for rooting for us to expand our family. It’s been such a crazy/emotional (and expensive) journey, and now we just have to simply WAIT. Can I just say that 8 days might as well be an eternity?! Patience was never a quality of mine. So I hope you don’t feel that I’m being callous by thinking and ... [ Read More ]
Easy Wrap-Around Toddler Blouse (or Dress!)
I get pretty intimidated to do any type of sewing tutorials, because I know so many of you readers are amazing and seasoned seamstresses. I just have to remind myself that there are others out there that are even more intimidated and inexperienced than I… so if I can give them a confidence boost and a simple project to try? I’m gonna do it! While I’m proud to be an American, I don’t love ... [ Read More ]
Pinwheel Collage {using scrapbook paper}
In addition to the dollhouse progress, we’ve been working on little finishing touches for the girls room to make it feel more personal and... finished. Ever since we added the papason canopy ‘reading nook’, I knew I wanted some sort of book storage nearby. I pinned this awhile back as an idea for cute book storage, but then I fell upon this black ‘x-shelf’ at a miraculous winter garage ... [ Read More ]

How to Make a DIY Starburst Mirror
Between the toddler bed / fainting couches and the stenciled herringbone accent wall, there’s a lot of ‘pizzazz’ going on in the twins’ big-girl room. Adding the plain wooden dresser grounded the room a lot and brought some necessary warmth (and storage)! Even though the accent wall is fairly busy, we felt that there needed to be something hanging on the wall above the dresser. I love ... [ Read More ]
Time-Out Rug {using vinyl as a stencil}
As an experienced nanny, I’ve always had a variety of opinions on the effectiveness of ‘TIME-OUT’s’ (among other things) as a punishment for tots. But now that I’m a parent myself, all previous opinions are out... the... WINDOW. Can I get an amen? I’m not really wanting to get into a discussion of discipline... but we do use time-outs. Not so much as a consequence, but more of an opportunity ... [ Read More ]
