It’s my favorite kind of post day… a final tour and before & afters! Here we are in the main bath, where we turned a ‘three different shades of pink palace‘ into a ‘soothing modern mini spa’. To recap… about a year ago we gutted the entire space and started from scratch. I ordered every single […]
My favorite winter piece this year has been this faux fur green beaut of a jacket…
Let’s talk family photos, shall we? Being the overzealous avid picture taker, I figured I would have tons of photos of Archer growing up, which of course I do on my iPhone but I have only taken out my good camera to shoot him a total of three times. PATHETIC! The iPhone is obviously super convenient […]
The first room we are going to tackle in project A-frame is the living room, because… windows! You can’t beat those windows, they make this space the heart of the A-frame. I want to make this the room that we want to hang out in all. day. long. I forgot to take a photo last […]
This month’s ‘real moms, real talk’ topic is on working and childcare, which I find SO interesting. I can’t wait to hear what the other mama’s are doing. Going into motherhood, I had no idea how I was going to feel, what I was going to take on, or how I was going to do it. Before I […]
This wall hanging was a fun last minute addition to our NYE PARTY and I might just keep it up year ‘round! Read more for the full DIY…
While project a-frame has gotten off to a slow start (so far the carpet has been pulled out and that’s about it), we have been making more frequent trips to Palm Springs to get the show on the road! Luckily it’s one pretty road, and we often spend Archer’s nap-time driving round and around it, ogling all of the […]
I give glamping in Mexico a 10 out of 10. Well, maybe a 9.5… the .5 being taken off from a run-in with some angry bees, but aside from that the trip was pretty magical.
Speaking of parties… Evite, Coca-Cola® and NABISCO recently invited me to participate in a Home Bowl party contest, (vote for me to win the Top Party Pro contest here) and since I can never turn down an excuse for a party and Rupert is always looking for an excuse to get me to watch more football, […]
Happy New Year! I blinked my eyes and 2015 was over! I decided to wait until the final holiday (Bachelor Premier Monday, of course) to get back to work, so here we are…. happy Tuesday. 🙂 To celebrate the new year we had a few friends over for an intimate dinner in the still completely naked […]
I’m signing off for the rest of the year, but for your holiday break reading pleasure, I have rounded up my top 15 posts/moments from 2015. To start it off, a post I will always look back on and treasure… MY MATERNITY PHOTOS. I can’t believe it has almost been a full year since archer was […]
While the interior of our A-frame currently looks completely sad and drab, and a bit scary… I have started the wheels turning on how we will hopefully make it to something that feels comfortable, modern, and unique. While I get to the drawing board, I have rounded up a few inspirational interiors that I think have elements which are just that, […]
I received a few requests to further explain my DIY wrapping paper from my gift exchange party so here she is… I love homemade wrapping paper for quite a few reasons. It makes a gift a little extra special, it only takes a few minutes, it can actually save time if you are like me […]
With all of the holiday parties happening, I put together one more gift guide and this one goes out to the hostesses. Throwing a Christmas or New Years party can take up a good amount of time in an already very busy season, so I’ve rounded up a few gifts that are perfect for the […]
Hi Hi and happy friday, I am here with what will eventually be known as the “before tour” of our new A-frame. Ok guys, prepare yourselves, the inside of this place is a doozy…
I am not one to use a lot of lotions and potions or beauty products. I have my 5 minute make-up routine, wash my hair about once a week (I still shower everyday, FYI, don’t get crazy), I can’t even remember the last time I got my hair cut (over a year and a half), and I […]
