It was so hard to go back to work this morning after having four wonderful days off! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! The husband and I went up to my mom's lake house for Thanksgiving and my in-laws and sister-in-law joined us too. I was too busy eating to take any photos other than of my mom's adorable country table. And yes, ... Read More

I'm finally ready to share my gallery wall with you! It's still a work in progress, but for now I LOVE it! First, here it is BEFORE:Nothing really wrong with it...but I never really loved it. I didn't like that large black frame with all the wedding photos in it...and I was sick of black frames. Our house is filled with black frames. Plus this ... Read More

Happy Friday! I know I promised last week that I would share my gallery wall with you....and I'm going to soon, I promise! I'm waiting on a couple of prints to arrive so that I don't have to show you a gallery of empty frames. Anyway, I thought today I'd show off some adorable chevron pillows that finally arrived for our guest room. I LOVE them. I ... Read More

Happy 11-11-11 everyone! (Doesn't it feel weird to write that?) And happy Veteran's Day too! Look what we woke up to this morning....Snow! If only it would stay that way and not become a huge mess. Don't get me wrong...I love snow....but only when it snows just enough to cover all the trees and make everything pretty...and not when it snows so ... Read More

But for me and Erin, it was awesome. (photo by Erin Vancura) 2. Nothing can really top putting your puppy in a pair of rain boots, can it? Awesome 1. The ... Read More

Since my best friend Erin is pregnant with a baby girl we decided that during her visit we needed to get our craft on. And boy did we ever. First up was baby clothes dividers for the closet. These are used to separate baby Lexi's clothes according to size (0-3 months, 3-6 months etc.) Probably completely unnecessary but beyond cute regardless. ... Read More

The weekend went by way too fast. I had the best time with Erin visiting! I wish she lived around the corner from me like in college....instead she's a plane ride away and it makes me sad. So we had to squeeze all of our fun into just a few days. You know what's great about having a best friend visit? You don't have to try hard or impress anyone. ... Read More

Now that it's November it's time to start thinking about our Christmas card! I LOVE sending and receiving Christmas cards. I love to see what everyone is up to, how their kids have grown, or lives have changed over the year. And I always keep the cards we receive. I'm thinking about making photo books out of them so that we can display cards from ... Read More
