Yay! It's spring! Okay, not really. We have a fresh 7-9 inches of snow outside and the ten day forecast doesn't even hit 40 degrees. In my head: December, January & February are winter, but that is it. After that, I am all about spring. Four seasons, 12 months means each season only gets three months (cue laughter from every.single.person who lives in Wisconsin). Needless to say, regardless of the weather, Easter is right around the corner so it was time to get my Easter/spring shelf ...

Big Girl Room Reading Nook and Cutting Edge Stencil Giveaway
I am so flipping excited to show you Eleanor's reading nook. Last week I shared a mood board, AKA- my plan for her reading nook.

My Ever-Changing Dining Room Shelf

I thought it would be fun to go back and check out the shelf's many transformations. Christmas Shelf Shelf Decor My Valentine Wall Eleanor's First ...
DIY Watercolor Shelf Vignette
This weekend Quinn and I sat down to play with watercolors. You know good old classic Crayola watercolor paints and a Crayola paper pad suitable for watercolors. See my coffee cup? I cannot tell you how many times I almost dipped my paint brush into my coffee. My lovely painting is the one with the yellow brush strokes? I was just getting started. I did random brush strokes and had fun with color. One of the best things about being a parent is reliving your childhood. I don't know that I ...
