I saw a photo similar to this on Pinterest (the link has since been broken – boo!) about six months ago. The moment I saw it I immediately started planning to have one taken of our family. I can not wait to have it printed on a giant canvas for our living room! I love… read more »
This year I volunteered to chair the Hospitality Committee at Zoë’s school. Honestly, I jumped at the opportunity. I have no desire whatsoever to be on the PTSA board, but I want to contribute in a meaningful way at her school. It was a win-win. The main event of the year for the Hospitality Committee… read more »
Last year, I began transforming the cubby under the stairs into Pixie Hollow. I spent hours in there painting landscapes and attaching artificial flowers and vines to create a magical place for Zoë and Eden to play. They loved it, but I really should have known better than to attach large sunflowers and strawberries to… read more »
I live with two crafty little ladies. They love to color, paint, and draw pictures. They color and home. They color at school. I have PILES of artwork in drawers, stacked on bookshelves, in my office, displayed on the wall. It is everywhere and it drives me crazy. Don’t get me wrong. I love to… read more »
I am always on the lookout for creative ways to use my daughters’ art work. I shared this tip in Digital Scrapbooking Magazine a few years ago, but it is definitely worth repeating.

I love receiving Christmas cards. Love it! I love hearing from our family and friends and seeing photos of their children. The holiday season is the one time of year I regularly check our mailbox. I kid you not. I usually head out to the box only after our grumpy mail man knocks on the… read more »
As I mentioned in my previous post, my gift to Marie was pictures. Lots of them. My friend Emily and I gave Marie a newborn photo session with one of our favorite photographers, Angela Parris of Stillpoint Photography. However, the little guy needs to make his appearance before that is useful, so I took it… read more »
I had the privilege of co-hosting a baby shower for my dear friend, Marie, last weekend. She and her husband John are keeping the baby’s name a secret (much to my annoyance) and have instead been calling him “Thing.” I don’t know about you, but when I hear “Thing” I think of Dr. Seuss, thus… read more »
I think it’s safe to say that I’ve developed something of a pumpkin obsession. Or to be more specific, a pumpkin decorating obsession. I blame my friend, Heather. She goes all out for Halloween at her house. I have drooled over the decorations she’s posted on her blog for years, and apparently it has rubbed… read more »
I cannot believe that my baby girl is ONE YEAR OLD! They say that time flies, and I think that is especially true with your second child. It seems like Eden just got here, but at the same time seems like she has always been with us. Do you know what I mean? I have… read more »
