This past weekend was Quinn's school fun fair, which meant bake sale. I was completely inspired by these cupcakes. I'm going to be honest, I didn't even have time to click over and check out my inspiration. Hers are full of homemade goodness and great pics for instructions. Mine were whipped up in a frenzy when I remembered bake sale items were due. I'm fortunate enough to be neighbors with my brother and his family and had to borrow eggs from them. My cupcakes are the classic Funfetti ...

TV Gallery Wall and a Pen & Paint Giveaway
The husband and I recently turned the TV wall into a gallery wall, because we have nothing better to do.

There are also the mini witch hats and paper wreath (you can see below). Target is carrying a wide ...
How to Paint Stripes & Our Dining Room Wall Update
It happened. The shelf has come down. As much fun as that shelf was, it was time for a change. Kind of like when you just decide to chop off your hair--randomly, one day. Or am I the only one who does that? We are kind of in love with stripes around here. We painted them in our living room when we first moved in (those are long gone), we also painted them in Eleanor's room, which is now Hudson's room. We actually covered this once before (here), but I still get questions about it a ...
