Last week I shared some spaces in our home that are full of my things. Surfaces styled and beautiful to me. I, however, happen to live in a home with three small children. We LIVE in our home. Like hardcore live. I'm a stay-at-home mom to three beautiful children and they are home with me all day. Well minus Quinn's three hours away four days a week. My kids love to play together, they love to play by me and they love to play where the action is. This is all great, except their rooms are ...
Shelf Styling, Because I Like Pretty Things
It is possible to have pretty things and kids at the same time. We kind of have managed to blend the best of both worlds-- mom's pretty things and all the kiddo stuff. So much kiddo stuff.

A bulb box I decoupaged, a tray on clearance from Target, a leather rope ball also on clearance at Target, ...

I fall more and more love with them every.single.day. There have been a couple times recently when Hudson has been ...
Burned Out
Hopefully, by the time this post goes live it will be a different story. If you walked in my house right now you would trip over a pile of shoes, step in a puddle from melted snow and then tiptoe your way through the living room. The living room with a floor covered with baby toys and the surfaces are covered with every other kind of toy. Since we have to worry about Hudson choking and Hudson cannot reach the couch, entertainment unit, desk, ottomans-- you get it. Mess everywhere. It ...
I’m Calling it
We have been busy with family. The best kind of busy to be, but I'm calling it. We need a day to recover. It is Saturday night and I am officially designating Sunday, get-your-life-in-order-day. Thursday night we gathered with my family over a meal at my parent's house. My mom knows Eleanor's affinity for accessories and picked up a clearanced package of pretty girly dress up clothes. I couldn't believe how much Eleanor squealed with delight. She put on every single piece and then ...
