Creating A Casual Fall Tablescape

tablescapefirst

I love to entertain! Who doesn’t right? I always said if when I win the lottery I will probably blow it all on throwing parties.

I’m [...]

I have wanted the large initial from Anthro ever since I first laid eyes on it over a year ago. Every time I would go online to buy it I would give myself a million reasons not to, and end up exiting out of the site. Then a couple of months ago I saw a [...]

Hang Your Child’s Heartwork

My daughter is quickly (too quickly for my liking) approaching the age of FIVE, and with that comes all these new traits and talents that were once hidden under diapers, onesies, and chubby baby thighs. Oh, how I miss those thighs… My daughter… the drama queen, the diva, the social butterfly, the ARTIST, the fashionista, the comedian, [...]

Every couple of weeks or so I find myself taking a stroll into Goodwill. Most of the time I leave there empty handed. However, today my eyes locked on this… Isn’t she (yes, she) absolutely perfect?! As soon as I saw this lamp I grabbed it and ran to the register to claim her! You see, [...]
