I realize it’s not officially summer until June 21, but I’m calling it. It’s time to enjoy early summer evenings on the patio with a favorite sangria in hand. It also means it’s time to grab a few books, toss ’em in your bag for easy access while eating lunch at the park, laying at […]

Tomorrow I’m leaving for a ladies’ weekend in Vegas! While I’m looking forward to relaxing poolside and sleeping in, I’m downright thrilled one of the ladies, after receiving everyone’s input, made magic happen by taking care of *all* of our dinner and club reservations. Seriously folks. This is the stuff of dreams and why she ranks as awesomesauce […]

As promised, a little catch-up from my month-long hiatus. Admittedly I’ve been sitting on this post for the last few weeks, constantly editing it. It was tough to write. While I feel a little guilty about how long this blog sat quiet, it ended up being a much-needed quiet time (so I’m sorry I’m not sorry?). The […]

Recently I was part of a motherhood interview series by Little Light Design Collective. A group of moms, who also are bloggers, participated by answering a set of questions. Answering some of the questions was a little harder than I expected. It was tough to be so honest about my motherhood experiences and remove certain walls to […]

If you follow Sparrow Soirées on Facebook or Instagram, you might have seen pictures of a party-in-a-box I put together for Domino Beauty Boutique’s recent giveaway. It was incredibly easy to do and well under a $75, including the bin, to put together. I’ve found over time it’s nice to have a bin stocked with basics so I’m always […]

Hello friends! I realize it’s been a month since my last post. I’m still here. It was a much-needed hiatus – and more on it all at another time. Today is all about celebration: it’s our 9-year anniversary to be exact! It has been an incredible journey and I cannot imagine spending a second of it without […]

Over the last few weekends, I’ve been deep into spring cleaning. In the process of working on rooms and closets throughout the house – and slightly by surprise – one morning, unplanned, I ended up cleaning out my office and moved a lot of things around, all in effort to pump fresh inspiration into it. My office sits in the back of […]

Are you a Game of Thrones fan? I am. So is The Mister. As are many others. While at Alt Summit, Kathy, of Krafty Kath, discovered we both dig the show (and, let’s not kid ourselves, Jon Snow too) and joked about getting together for a Game of Thrones craft night. Then it happened. If […]

Spring is finally here. Chilly mornings and nights, but the days are getting warmer. Daylight is staying around longer each day. Little signs of the nature coming alive are all around us. Spring also seems like a natural, massive reset button for us. It’s time to start fresh. I’ve never been one to set New […]

Early spring in Seattle means holding on to certain parts of your winter wardrobe (coat and wool scarf), while digging wildly through the attic for pieces you put away after the summer or fall (lighter cotton cardigans and flats), and grabbing a few items you always keep handy in the front closet (rain boots and […]
