Almost two months ago we moved our family from the East Coast to the West Coast. Tyler accepted an opportunity in California that would accelerate his career and we made the bold decision to jump of the cliff. (How do you know if your wings work if you don’t jump out of the tree, right?) Before we left, my friend and brilliant artist, Hannah Crosby, offered to make me a custom painting that would grace our new space in California,…
Oh my goodness, I can’t believe I only have 11ish weeks before we have ANOTHER baby in the house! It’s true what they say about the third kid, they are lucky to get somewhere to sleep. I kid, but seriously- I am so behind on getting everything together for Lincoln! Not only that, but it turns out we are on the house hunt again and have to move again before he is born. Long story, you might have caught a…
I have often wondered how other families knew when they were done having kids. Or, how they knew they didn’t want children. It seems like such a huge commitment either way, right? As a woman, some days I wanted none, sometimes Grayson was more than enough, and other times I fantasized about having several. Can anyone else relate? I will be the first to admit that I know I am not innately Mother Goose. I struggle with keeping my life…
I received this dresser from Delta Children’s in exchange for incorporation in an organic blog post. All opinions are mine. Charlie has her nursery all to herself right now, but in a few months that will change! While she is enjoying the princess life, she currently has two dressers in her room. The larger of the two (that holds linens and clothes) is a family heirloom antique, and the other is the Viv + Rae 3 Drawer Louisa Dresser by Delta. For…
This post was sponsored by Desenio. All opinions are my own. If you ask my husband, he will tell you that I have serious decorating ADD. I can’t stand having anything the same for too long, and I love experimenting with different arrangements. Since most of us can’t afford to buy new sets of furniture every six months, I have come up with some inexpensive and simple tips for never getting bored with your decor. …
Several of these items were gifted in exchange for incorporation in this lifestyle post. All opinions and my love for these products are 100% honest. One of my favorite things about my new house is the master bedroom. It’s big and bright and it was the perfect blank canvas to decorate. Right now, one side is the “sleeping area” and the other side is my “office area”. Today, I want to reveal the sleeping area!…
I’ve had a lot of fun getting Grayson’s new room ready to go, and I wanted to share my favorite details. His last room was vintage superhero themed, which we loved, but he’s not really into superheroes anymore. He’s getting bigger, which makes me die a little inside. I mean… it’s awesome. Anyway, I thought a monochrome theme would be a little more “big boy” and allow us some freedom to accessorize in different ways that still match. It’s nothing…
I seriously wish I could have all of you over to have a cup of coffee with me and listen to my Traditional Christmas Pandora station! Since I can’t, I wanted to show you what my living room in my new house is (currently) looking like! I say “currently”, because you should know that I change up my decor all the time. I have even moved things around since I photographed this! Obviously, the holiday decor is out and it…
This post was sponsored by Christmas Tree Shops andThat!. All opinions are mine. I will be honest. There have been years when I really didn’t feel like decorating that much. Life can be busy, hectic, and even depressing. There were times when decorating for the holidays was the very last thing I wanted to do. Our mind can wander into thinking “It’s just stuff. Is it that important? Does it really matter?” It’s somewhat of a subconscious excuse generator. I…
This post is in partnership with buybuy BABY. All opinions are my own. I know I just revealed Charlie’s room a couple of weeks ago at the old house, but everyone wanted me to show our space at the new house, too! I won’t overwhelm you with photos this time, I will just share my favorite little nooks. I love the soft colors of her room, the neutral tones, and the subtle whimsy of the space. I put the felt…
I wasn’t going to post this since we are moving to a new house, but you guys asked me to reveal both rooms, so here we are! Your wish is my command. I guess it’s ok, since I spent all this time on pictures! I won’t chat too much, let’s get on with the nursery tour. I will reveal again later in the year when we are in the new house! Maybe it will be a good excuse to switch…
This post is sponsored by Enbrighten Cafe Lights by Jasco Products and it’s advertiser. All opinions are 100% mine. #EnbrightenLife Is everybody feeling like Fall and drinking their PSLs, yet? We’ve had some cooler mornings and evenings here, which has been enough to get me excited for the season change! My back deck was totally empty a few weeks ago, so I was really excited when I got the opportunity to partner with Enbrighten Cafe Lights. I knew exactly what…
I’ve partnered with Rugs USA to bring you this post. I was gifted a rug. All opinions and content are mine. As a stay at home mom, our living room is mine and the kids’ central location. We don’t have another family room or a playroom, so I try to do my best at making the main part of the house safe for Charlie to play, but also not like my house turned into a daycare center. Not that there’s…
