This post is sponsored by Minted. All opinions are my own. We’re slowly settling into our new home. We’ve made it through 75% of the boxes – mainly because my mom visited for a long weekend and went through them like a boss. (Thanks Mom!) My biggest hurdle at this point is getting stuff up on the walls. I […]

I mentioned last month I’m trying hard to decorate for holidays for my boys. I deeply appreciate their schools helping explain the holidays and I feel my part is to offer something at home to help further the conversations and learning experience. Our Easter decor is fairly tame. Just fresh flowers on the table and in the kitchen to welcome spring, along with […]

The first day of Spring brings this week’s favorite things. Clockwise, from the top right: 1) This Green Draped Trenchcoat looks incredibly fresh for the spring. Imagine pairing it with a lighter than air scarf. Perfect for the next brunch date with the ladies. 2) These Yarn Wrapped Easter Eggs look like a great way to get the house ready for […]

I’ve been trying hard to bring more of the assorted holiday spirit into our home. The Older learns about them at school (which is great!), and while pulling projects and homework out of his bag after coming home, he’ll ask if we celebrate an upcoming holiday. Sometimes I explain the day is to remember someone […]

Gold and green take over this week’s favorite things. Clockwise, from the top left: 1. Spring is so close – like thisclose – and this Lavender Field Wreath is an elegant, yet simple, way to say good-bye to winter. 2. These 3-D Four Leaf Clovers from MJ of Pars Caeli are perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. I […]

I’ll always have a soft spot for brown paper packages tied in string, but here are this week’s five favorite things. Clockwise, from the top left: 1. I cannot get enough of Elkebana’s wall mounts. I’m sure someone, somewhere, who is incredibly handy with a drill and has a box of test tubes is already plotting […]

  I was unsure if I was going to finish this before the deadline for the Cricut Design Space Challenge – but it appears I just might make it in time (whoa!). I mentioned yesterday, my team’s theme for this round is “Dreamy White Holiday,” and for me, it means time with friends and family (and snow!). The holidays weren’t […]

Brace yourself: we’re on the last all-team Cricut Design Space Star challenge. I feel really fortunate to have been a part of it and challenge myself creatively over the last four months (it sounds kooky, but working within Design Space requires a different way of thinking, but in a really good way – and makes crafts and various […]

As promised in the two previous posts, here’s a fun – and unique – idea for a gift, party giveaway or somewhere in-between. The notebook was sparked as an idea for couples to give to their wedding party, in part as a thank you gift, but also a way to hand out the day’s – or […]
