For months my boys have slowly been adding things to their dressers. It started as one small card or lego creation to a full on craze. In their eyes, it is the most beautiful mess. Do you see the beauty as well or do your mom nerves (like mine) kind of cringe too at those pictures? You can see what the chartreuse dresser first looked like here and my son's red dresser/chalkboard wall here. They have reached this age that when I ask them to pick up their room and toys there are things they Continue Reading
Teaching Patience (to the wee lil one…and me)
Disclaimer: The wall decal I received for free. Thank you RoomMates for so generously gifting it to my girl. All opinions are very much my own. Getting out the door can be one hard task as a mom.

I can always tell what I am going through and what my current struggles are by the messages I sew. The time spent sewing these hoops rejuvenates my soul, gives peace, helps me slow down, and find Continue Reading
Valentine’s Day Garland
There are so many projects that I have wanted to share, but moving has kicked my butt. So many projects but so little time! Slowly but surely this house is becoming home, and I am excited to start showing you all we have been working on. I made this little garland at Christmas time, but still love it. It was simple enough, and it is now working for Valentine's Day, so I thought I would go ahead and show you! I got a few basic supplies: scrap fabric (I bought a scarf at the Dollar Continue Reading
