My oldest baby turned 16 this week. Whaaat! How did that happen? My little boy is legally old enough to drive a car! And on a side note, have you reached the age yet when you see a kid pull up in the parking lot and hop out of the car and the first thing…
Is shabby chic still a thing? Because that’s how I think you’d describe my dining room table right now. I don’t really do much “theme” decorating, but I do like to change things up for the seasons. And Valentine’s décor really lends itself to a vintage-y shabby chic look. For the Valentine’s table: In January,…
Does this cold weather make you crave warm comfort food? It certainly does for me! The colder the air, it seems, the greater my hankering for soup.

After Christmas decorating can be tricky, don’t you think? Most of us bring in tubs and tubs of Christmas decorations, but once we cart them all back to the attic, things can feel a little bare.

It’s time for an Extreme Makeover…Christmas tree angel edition! I know Christmas is over, but this angel makeover is a perfect project to do before you pack all your decorations away. And the after Christmas sales are going on in full force, so if you don’t have an angel or if you like yours just…
I hope you are completely ready for Christmas and able to enjoy the last few days leading up to the big day. No? Well, neither am I:) Actually, all of my shopping is finally done and I’ve already wrapped most of the gifts, so that feels like a pretty big accomplishment. All that’s left now,…
