Hello there my friends! I hope your holiday was wonderful!! Ours was fantastic and we’re totally enjoying the entire break so far. I read one book cover to cover in one day, we’ve seen Night at the Museum 3 (loved it) and hope to see Into the Woods tonight. I’ve done equal parts sitting on my butt and cleaning/decrapifying/organizing as well. :) Since we are nearly the end of 2014 I like to look

Hello my friends! I’m so excited to see all the comments and emails on yesterday’s post. That will be open through the end of the week. This year I really did less than ever with the holiday decor – I actually wanted to do more but time just didn’t allow. Next year I’m starting in October!! Kidding. As far as you know. Of course like every year I didn’t really get the bug to do a lot of

Well hello! It’s that time again! I’ve hosted this little shindig for six years now – crazy! It’s time to gather together and show off your beautiful Christmas trees and decor: But first, mine! :) We usually have four trees in our home – it sounds crazy but one I’ve never even decorated till this year: And it was so easy and cheap – check it out here if you missed the bedroom tour earlier

Hello my friends! I’m starting to freak out a little bit…Christmas is next week right?? I’ve been ignoring this fact for awhile now. The funny thing is that I’m still decorating. It will only stay out for a couple of weeks but I’m really enjoying it so I continue to fluff. :) I’ve tackled some little projects in our bedroom over the past few days and added some Christmas touches in the room. I’m

Hello there! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Some friends and I had what we think was our 8th annual Christmas exchange – we’ve done it so long we’ve lost track. We also celebrated our grandson’s FIRST birthday, can you believe it? I’ve mentioned before that this month is unusually busy for our family -- that’s because so many people that I love were born in the past two weeks. :) Have you

Hello my friends! Hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead of you! I’ll be sharing more of our Christmas decor next week but I had to laugh as I talked with fellow blogging friends earlier this week. We all shared photos of our houses “behind the scenes” and it always makes me feel so good to know I’m not the only one who doesn't have it all together. Blogging is a double-edged sword – you

I’m in the kitchen again…I know, don’t pass out. It happens occasionally. ;) I’m hosting a Christmas party for girlfriends tonight (we had to do it on a weeknight because this time of year is so crazy!) and we’re doing a cookie exchange as well. I begged my sister to come over to help make some with me (she’s the baker). She was too busy but passed on her favorite snickerdoodle recipes she

Hello my friends! It’s that time of year again – I’m joining 19 other bloggers for another series of beautiful holiday home tours: My friend Just a Girl is our host and if you’re visiting from Decor Chick’s Christmas kitchen, welcome! So here’s the thing…I had every intention of this being a whole house tour. Then I realized there was NO WAY I was getting everything decorated…and clean

First of all, I need to shout out to the world a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our not-so-little man! Can you believe he is eight today? I know some of you have been following along with me for years (thank you for that) and I simply cannot believe that he was only 18 months old when I started this blog. We are truly the luckiest parents ever – he is such a sweet, respectful, fun, happy child. He is

Hey there! Can you believe this is the last one of the year? Crazytown. I’m hosting this month’s before and after party today instead of earlier this week because of the Christmas decor I was itching to show you. ;) As always I love to look through the fabulous projects that were linked up (check out last month’s here) and highlight a few. And as always you did not disappoint! I’m sharing

Hello my friends!! Now that December is upon us it’s time to start thinking about gifts. Some of you totally-on-it people have already finished your shopping and I bow down to you. This one is for those of us (uhhhh…me) who still need some ideas. As a part of the Better Homes and Gardens bloggers I’m sharing a couple ideas I came up with – both for under $20 total. I love both of these because

Well HELLO there!! It’s good to be back! I hope your Thanksgiving week was wonderful – ours was so crazy busy but awesome. We spent four days in Disney World (our new favorite place) and it was just so fun and magical. We were sad to leave but got back in time to host Thanksgiving for the family. Then a couple days later we hosted again to find out that my sister is having a baby GIRL!! If you’ve

Hello all and happy weekend! Anything fun planned? I have about 285 things on my list I’d like to get accomplished before Thanksgiving and instead the other day I spent hours cleaning up this mess out in the garage: It needed to be done, obviously. But it is not on the list. ;) Food and cleaning this house are, however. But noooo…I focus on things like this. In my defense, it’s been driving

Hey all! Sooo…it snowed so much we need to shovel the driveway today…what. in. the?? I don’t mind winter but this is CRAY. Putting up the Christmas lights is going to stink. :) If it’s this cold already I’m really worried about the winter. Yikes. Anyway, we spent most of the day cuddled inside yesterday and I worked on a project that I am SO pleased with! I told you I was going to to do it when

Hello my friends and happy weekend! Hope you have a fun (or just relaxing!) one planned. We’ve made a big stride in finally transforming the dining room to a library space that I’ve talked about for awhile now. It’s only taken a couple years. ;) Hello…it’s ME. More than two years ago I got a wild idea to get rid of our dining room and make it into a more useful space for us. We were starting

Hello everyone! Today’s post is perfect because I’m feeling especially warm and fuzzy and thankful! My husband and I just got home from a trip to Hawaii – awesome right?? He was asked to judge some marching band shows and I tagged along. We haven’t been away together for years so it was lovely. Even though he had some work we both relaxed quite a bit – it takes some time for us to really

Hey heeeey. I’m back today with a quick DIY tip! This one will come in handy if you ever go to paint furniture or kitchen cabinets and want to change out the hardware while you’re at it. I’ve shared how to fill holes in the wall, but this takes a little more finesse. Maybe because I’m pickier on furniture. :) I like this method because it gives you a finished look on both sides of the drawer or

Hello my friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I’m back with an update on the bay window we’re reworking in the kitchen. I told you a little bit about our plans for this space a couple weeks ago and I am so excited. So I was looking back for old photos to show you how this space looked before and it immediately struck me how much smaller the bay window looked: I’m sure it’s

Hey there everybody! Happy FRIDAY! Can you believe how fast the time is going? It was JUST August. It’s freaking me out. Did you realize there are less than 50 days till Christmas?

Yet again…I’m late on the trend train. Like, the train is in the next station late. Per usual for me. I’m not very trendy anyway, and on the rare times when I do get on with one I’m super late and usually on it’s way out. I know you want to be cool like me. :) One trend that I admired and never jumped on till this year was the fiddle leaf one. Funny that a plant can become a trend, right?

Hello there! If you haven't seen all the inspiration at this month’s before and after link up, go check it out here. So many great projects already! I’m back today with a few more photos and details about the family room renovation I shared last week. If you are just joining us on this project the back story is that we took down a wall between my office and our family room to open up the space.

Welcome to NOVEMBER! What? I can’t even believe it. I gotta tell you – I’m SO excited about Christmas and I’m one of those who loves seeing the stuff out in the stores already.

It doesn’t help that everything I’m seeing is beautiful and cute and I want to make every single thing. :) It’s time for

OK. I’m done. I can’t even believe it!! The family room expansion/renovation is DONE. GoodNESS, I worked my butt off on this room! I will go into a bigger background recap later, but long story short is that we wanted to add on to the back of our house, decided against it when we got the quotes (choke) and then decided to knock down a wall instead. That wall was the one between the family room

Welcome to a new week my friends! Hope you had a lovely weekend! Yesterday I finished up the last DIY project for the family room – I think I keep saying everything is the “last” project and then I realize I have another one. For for real – this is it. We’ve been able to rework most of what was in the room before in the new set up and I’m pretty excited about that. I’ve only made one purchase

Happy Friday to you! Only a week till the end of the month and Halloween, can you believe it? I can’t. We’ve had our Halloween decor up outside for a while but because I’ve been focused so much on DIY projects lately we haven’t gotten to much on the inside. I think the Halloween decor is fun but for the past few years we’ve just had it out for a week or so – any more than that and I start to
