My collection of globes found a new home. I added a fun disco ball, because a little sparkle never hurt anyone. I drew this ampersand, which was inspired by street chalk art I had seen. Obviously, not nearly as good. This wall is always fun to decorate for the holidays or celebrations. This time around, I was looking for a little more simple and evergreen look this time around. Hudson's second birthday is ...

Fall Dining Room Table Decor
I have been sharing little touches of fall with you all week. I'm really embracing the spirit of fall. I've enjoyed making the house cozy, while the air gets crisp.

I picked up some fun fall scents and we have been letting the crisp air come in the front door. I simply ...

I had grand plans to build this massive chalkboard. We even started picking out materials. Then one day while perusing Hobby Lobby, I saw a chalkboards and thought---a trip tic. With ...
For the Sake of the Children
When the Christmas decorations came down Eleanor was all about, what comes next? She was constantly asking to decorate. I didn't feel like decorating, but it just made the kids so darn happy that I couldn't help but share in their joy. Just a little. Kids have a way of doing that to you--of making you see the world just a little differently. I had this package of doily hearts sitting around that I gave to the kids, along with some watercolors and I let them do their thang. I ...
