Finding extraordinary joy in our ordinary home. Come join us.
It’s been warm out recently, which has me dreaming of flowers and garden goodies…but I know it’s too early, so I had to satisfy myself with some indoor gardening. If you recall, one of my goals for the year was to add more house plants to our house…and keep them alive. A couple weekends ago, I grabbed two new little babies at Home Depot and got them planted in nice ceramic pots. These pots are
Will turned 7 months old last week and while it’s hard to believe the year is flying by so fast, I also realize we haven’t done a very good job of giving you guys updates to our nursery as we’ve settled in and really started using it. So, today, (after over a week of no blogging–the shame!), I’m finally sharing a little glimpse into our everyday nursery usage. The biggest transition has been switching over to
Just stopping in to share a few quick photos of our Valentine’s mantle decor. I have to say that switching out the chalkboard and such is something I enjoy doing, even if I don’t have much time for other projects these days. This is what it looked like before. I bet you can’t guess why I drew three hearts on it… Just kidding. I’m sure you can guess. I realize these photos aren’t earth-shattering design
I know it’s not Freebie FriYAY….but it is the week before Valentine’s Day…which means it’s time to stand in a crowded aisle of the grocery store searching for the perfect card (that doesn’t exist) wishing there was an easier way to tell your special someone just how much you care about them. We’re not big Valentine’s Day people (Wyatt thinks it’s a pretty dumb holiday), but it is fun to celebrate a little bit, so,
Last week, I started my Freebie FriYay series, where I give you guys free stuff on Fridays. Woohoo for free, right? Today, I’m offering another one of the prints I created for our blue and gold winter clipboard wall. (For the sources to the awesome gold prints I shared there, click here.) This time, it’s a pretty floral print with a reminder of some of my favorite worship song lyrics. (You can listen to a
Be sure to follow all our other projects, here! We hope you enjoy our little corner of Blog Land and stop to look around a few other pages, like our DIY Foam Cooler Ottoman, Ruler Growth Chart, our Kitchen Renovation, and my free printables. Enough with the sneak peeks, it’s time to show you our awesome new addition to the living room: These honeycomb shelves are my jam…or my honey. See what I did there? I like
That was a silly pun, and a clue in good fun. And that was a silly rhyme. All that silliness just to share ONE LAST sneak peek of a project I’m super excited to share with you all later this week. My instagram has been full of sneak peeks lately, so if you missed them, go here to follow me (and see all sorts of cute photos of baby Will). But, here’s one more little glimpse at
Today marks the first of a fun series I’ve been wanting to start for awhile – Freebie FriYAY! In non-excited “girl speak,” that means you get something free on Fridays. Woot woot! (Sorry, I relapsed into excited girl speak again. Oops. #SorryNotSorry? Ok, enough with the silliness and on to the details! I’m not a designer, but sometimes I pretend to be and I get to play around with making some pretty things and since pretty
Last week I shared our simple winter mantle with the new chalkboard quote. (If you missed it, click here.) Today, I’m FINALLY getting around to sharing the prints I picked for the clipboard wall this month. I don’t switch these out every month, but I try to do it every now and then, just for fun. For January, I went with inspirational sayings and a blue and gold color scheme. Or rather faux gold-colored prints,
I know the gray, dreary days tend to drag on for me. Luckily I now have a little bundle of sunshine around the house every day. I also finally got around to switching up our chalkboard on the mantle for something kind of fun for winter. After I took down all the Christmas stuff, it’s been a little blank and boring. And since I think it’s a little early for Valentine’s Day stuff, I decided
