Cheers to another weekend friends! I'm not sure how it's already half way through August, but I suppose, somehow, it is. Soon enough these lists will be all about pumpkin EVERYTHING, but for now lets just enjoy what's left of summer, live in the moment, and try not to rush things. I'm kicking things off this week with a personal family recipe... one that ... Read More
Crocheted Mini Bunting
I recently whipped up this mini bunting to hang in Ella's nursery, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the way it turned out. I love the touch of whimsy and the punch of color it adds to her room. I wanted to share the super simple pattern that I came up with, if any of you just so happened to want to create one of your own. What I love most about this project ... Read More
DIY Faux Zinc Letters
You know those super trendy zinc letters that are all the rage in home decor? The ones you see on Pinterest, Instagram, and about a zillion other places? I, for one, happen to love the look of them... what I don't love? The price. At $18 a piece; depending on the initials, name, or word you're looking to spell out with them, the resulting bill could be ... Read More
DIY Tulip Wreath
This project was inspired by a pin I saw on Pinterest awhile back, that I just knew I had to attempt to recreate on my own. It was super simple to make, I finished it in under a half hour, and the supplies were fairly inexpensive. I purchased everything I needed for this pretty spring wreath at Joann Fabrics, for about $21 and change. The faux ... Read More

Well, as much as I wish this post was meant to share all of the exciting and pretty before and after photos with you, sadly, it is not, because, let's face it, right now things are still in shambles.

Easter Things
We've been having a lot of fun around here preparing for Easter. I always loved holidays as a kid, and still do, so I try as hard as I can to make them fun and exciting for M&E, all while instilling in them a sense of tradition that we can carry on as they continue to grow. It's important to me that one day they will be able to look back and remember ... Read More
DIY Anthro Inspired Snowball Garland
A few weeks ago, while I was aimlessly pinning away on Pinterest, I stumbled upon the most beautiful pompom snowball garland from Anthropologie. It's been pretty well documented by now, that my love affair with garlands runs deep... So, for the next several days, I contemplated buying this lovely piece of holiday decor, but at $38, I just couldn't justify the purchase. Then ... Read More
Swoon Worthy
It is officially upon us, the MOST wonderful time of the year! I love the holiday season so, so much, I can't even begin to describe the elation I'm feeling over sharing some of my favorite traditions with my babies this year!

Hump Day
Happy Wednesday... All week long I've been a day ahead. Perhaps because we're heading towards a long weekend and I know Mike will be home an extra day to help deal the craziness that has basically become the norm around here lately. In my mind it's Thursday, and I'm just going to go with it! It's about a billion degrees outside, and humid enough to turn my hair ... Read More
