We are going on hour 12 of baby sleep! He woke up at 5:45 to eat, but other than that, has been out since 9pm last night 🙂 I've been doing a little trial and error as far as sleep routines go and we may have found a good balance yesterday. I'll keep it going [...]
My mom is really going to LOVE this post 🙂 Pretty sure her dream is to turn an old barn into a home. Or at least into an event venue that she can run a business out of. Well mama, here is your inspiration! This is a 161 year old grain mill that was bought [...]
Someone contacted me asking about some of the furniture details in Landon's nursery and I realized that I never shared the finished crib! No time like the present... I remember sharing a while back that I was having trouble finding a crib that I liked. I wanted white distressed wood. Everything I was finding in [...]
I've featured the home of Lauren Conrad before, her single-girl Beverly Hills penthouse apartment. Now...she's unveiling the remodel on her new Pacific Palisades home she shares with her husband. What can I say...I like her style! The home is a wonderful mix of Bohemian elements, glamour and feminine style. I don't know if I'd ever [...]
Is my love of Joanna Gaines' decorating style too creepy? Just wondering... Not that it will change my opinion or make me stop following her blog and Instagram. I just can't help it! Her style is the perfect combination of farmhouse, airy and chic. It never looks overdone, but rather, well...perfect? She shared photos of [...]
I've been wanting to do this project for a while. Especially because I've been spending so much more time in the bathtub these last few months. I wanted the spa-like relaxation but, truth be told, I also wanted a place to set my laptop so I could get some blog work done while I'm unwinding. [...]
As I sit here typing this post, I'm in the lab waiting room in the middle of my glucose tolerance testing. What a fun way to start the day...got here at 7:30AM, had blood drawn and then drank the nasty sugar liquid. I think they should have to give at least 2 flavor options. As [...]
Nesting has officially set in...I'm feeling to pressure of the timeline and that this little munchkin is only 14 weeks away. Man...when I write it down like that, it seems even closer! I really haven't done much in the nursery yet other than getting the crib, a light fixture (which is currently sitting on the [...]
I've been working like a mad woman on so many different things...baby shower details, baby registry lists, nursery design, plus getting some random projects finished up around the house before baby arrives. Planning for baby is so much more overwhelming than you originally think it is. I want to tie up loose ends on things [...]
So it's been a month since I've posted 🙁 #1 I can't believe it has been that long! #2 That also means that this pregnancy is moving along insanely fast! In just 1 week I will already be 24 weeks!! I'm starting to panic about all the things I haven't even begun to tackle in [...]
I've begun the task of building my baby registry...this is no small task! Having a baby is like planning a wedding. I start to research one item that I want or know I need and during the process, I end up finding 5 other items that I'm supposed to have on the list! Who knew [...]
Before baby came to be, the room getting all my attention lately has been the kitchen. Now, I've realized my bedroom and the nursery need to be ready in just 6 short months. That may seem like a long time, but, I tend to move at a very slow pace. I've really done nothing to [...]
The weather lately you guys...it feels like summertime in the Northwest! And I am LOVING every minute of it!! It is making me ready to get back outside and get some outdoor projects done, like finishing our back deck which sat half-finished all winter...oops. Currently, I'm working on finishing up the breakfast nook and it's [...]
I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for my Magnolia Market purchases to show up and THEY FINALLY ARRIVED!! I ordered 5 of these faux paper white bulbs as well as the faux magnolia leaf wreath that I hung on my wooden spool clock. I think by now, you all know that I don't do [...]
I'm having an INSANELY lazy day today and I'm loving every minute of it! I was up at 4:30am the last 2 mornings for work and it really took it's toll. This morning I slept in late, had breakfast and coffee with my hubby and am now laying in bed, blogging and watching...you guessed it...re-runs [...]
I'm back!!! It has been SO long since I've posted! I'm so happy to be back and have all sorts of great content planned for the next few weeks. Since I've been gone, hubby and I went to Hawaii on a little getaway. The trip was absolutely INCREDIBLE and we fell in love with the [...]
It's January 17 and I still haven't taken down my Christmas tree...don't judge me please. I think I've said it before, my style really alligns with Nantucket & Martha's Vinyard. Rustic, natural materials, a little bit beachy, that is my dream region, hands down! This barn style beach house by Martha's Vinyard Interior Design is gorgeous and [...]
Happy New Year everyone! Is it lame that it's New Years Eve and I'm at home, on the couch, in sweatpants, blogging...? I just couldn't bring myself to want to go out tonight. It's freezing cold outside, I'm still not completely over my cold from Christmas and let's face it...I'm a little lazy these days. [...]
My first cold of the season...and I am not a happy camper. I hate being sick because it makes me feel so unproductive but I guess it is good for me to just slow down and rest for a while. I took it easy today and threw together this cute little faux planter centerpiece for [...]
I try to post something a few times a week. These last 2 weeks have been pretty crazy busy with work and life and everything in between. When I had a few moments, I would sit down to find an inspiration post but just wasn't actually "inspired" by ANYTHING! Now, let me tell you, that's [...]
