My mother and I hosted a relaxing and fun (and oh-so-pretty, if I do say so myself) baby shower for my sister this past weekend. She is due officially on June 16th but I am personally hoping it's any day now! Knowing that she's not a lover of all things pink, coupled with the fact that she's having a girl,... Read more →

Pin It Today my baby Jacob is TWO! Seriously? Nu-uh? Really? Yep, he sure is. Sigh. Where's my little baby gone? Even my older two kids are a bit disturbed that he's growing up so fast.

Uno game card holder
During a recent game of Uno, the kids and I came up with an invention to make our game-playing much easier. You see, in the game of Uno each player receives 7 cards each.

Spidery Halloween Wreath
I am so in love with my little Halloween wreath I picked up at World Market the other day. First off, it's black - probably my most favorite color in home decor - and it's glittery! What could be better for Halloween? I brought it home and thought it needed just a bit more spookiness so I decided to throw... Read more →
Closet Dividers. They Make Me Happy!
My two older boys share a room and a closet, so I've been wanting to come up with a way to separate my oldest son, Nathan's, school uniform clothing from his other clothing. I knew I wanted it to have something to do with a closet divider/hanger of some sort. So, I began researching if there were templates and what... Read more →
