Well, this morning I got up and packed 2 little lunch boxes after having 3 and a half weeks off! Again, I found myself feverishly roaming the aisles of Vons and Ralphs over the weekend searching for lunch box worthy items that my kids will eat and that are not complete junk. We made it [...]
I am writing this post merely to help pass the time until I can put the second coat of chalkboard paint on my soon-to-be MENU. {after first coat} I’m tryyyying to be a patient crafter and wait the recommended 4 hours between coats, but the reality of the situation is that I want the last [...]
Growing up we had a lot of little neighborhoods popping up in our community. We would wander through the model homes on the weekends and I always remember thinking and asking my parents, “Why can’t our house look like a model home?” My mom and dad would laugh and say, “It’s because we LIVE in [...]
Lately I am obsessed with gallery walls. I’ve mentioned our WHITE walls here a million times, but I’m actually not minding them as much when I hang clusters of pictures, artwork and whatnot on them and create a little gallery. I’m in the process of doing one in Elliott’s room with some vintage plates, a [...]
Meant to sit down and do a {turn your old, outdated framed print into a chalkboard} tutorial this week, but others things happened. On Tuesday morning I got caught in some traffic on the way to Woodland Hills… Because of a darling striped, ruffled shirt I spotted in Instagram {thanks, Richelle!}, I went on a [...]

Love her bright, floral, whimsically happy fabrics. I ended up [...]
I hated taking down the stockings from the fireplace after Christmas. While I was out scouring the sales on holiday goodness, I thought about finding some red {or pink. or white.} stockings and transforming them into Valentine’s Day stockings. I picked up a sparkly “E” ornament at Kohl’s and an equally, if not more sparkly, [...]
Dear Monday, I {heart} you because… you are the prelude to a new week filled with endless possibilities! {via} Found this darling FREE printable on Pinterest {of course!} and fell in love. Grab an old 8X10 frame and print out this bad boy ~ looks fine on regular old printer paper, but I used photo [...]
I spend A LOT of time in the kitchen and I am always dreaming of bigger, better and more counter space! My pantry is small and missing one shelf. I have clutter on my counters. My cookbooks are up and out of the way, but out of sight means out of mind so unfortunately I [...]
Look out HGTV ~ we have a way of covering walls with good old-fashioned school/office supplies. Just get yourself some ruled notebook paper and some tape leftover from Christmas wrapping and you can customize any room to your liking. Peace signs & hearts if you’re a first grader. Elliott recently semi took over our guest [...]
