I love wrapping gifts! There, I said it…I know some people do not enjoy that task, but I do. I think it is because one of my mottos is “it’s all about the presentation.” You can take a simple gift card and make it feel special in the way it is wrapped and presented to […]
front door holiday decorations
I am so excited to share my front door decorations with you today! Maybe because so many of you were giving me positive feedback when I shared snippets of it over on INSTAGRAM. I must tell you that I’ve been planning some of it since last December. When Claire and I were in Chicago for […]
holiday snacks for those who deliver our packages
Today is Cyber Monday! I’ve told my daughters that there was no such day when I was growing up…we had no internet and therefore, no online shopping. Whatever did we do before online shopping, I’m not sure… I became a huge online shopper twelve years ago…the year that Claire was born. She arrived on Thanksgiving […]
my christmas staircase
Well hello, it’s been a while! As you may remember, I had surgery in September and I’ve been enjoying a slower pace of life. So slow, in fact, that I’ve had a few readers ask if I’m going to return to blogging. Wow…did that make me feel great! It’s nice to know that I’ve been […]
rolling cart organization
I’ve been a little MIA this month. If you’re following me on Instagram, I shared that I had a “very involved” hysterectomy a few weeks ago. I have to be honest…it really threw me off my routine. I know my doctor tried to prepare me for this L O N G eight-week recovery, but I […]
playset transformation
It’s been a while since I’ve written a blog post…I took some time to enjoy summer. And I hope you’ve been enjoying your summer! It’s hard to believe it’s nearing the end and fall will be approaching soon. As much as I love the carefree unscheduled days of summer, I am looking forward to all […]
camp care packages
It’s a bit quieter at my house this…actually it’s A LOT quieter! Claire left for two weeks of summer camp on Sunday. Grace is also in China for two weeks…she flew to Beijing last week. And their trips overlap a week, so Audrey is the only one home this week (and she doesn’t make much […]
mother’s day photo gifts…two versions
It is officially May, and that means Mother’s Day is right around the corner! Because moms enjoy handmade gifts from the heart, I’m sharing an idea that I’m sure any mom would love to receive. And there’s a bonus…I’ve teamed up with my friend, Katie, from It’s in the Details once again. You may remember […]
diy hanging gallery wall
Thank you so much for your kind words about my LIVING ROOM MAKEOVER! We are really enjoying the room and love how functional it is now…those cabinets allow me to “hide” our DVDs, board games, and puzzles AND it is so fun to display special items on the shelves. There were some questions about “that […]
living room makeover
I think that I’ve mentioned before that we live in an old house…100 years old, to be exact. Yes, our house was built in 1918 and we’ve lived in it for almost 10 years. Right after the holidays (as the “dead” of winter was setting in), I became restless and suggested to my husband that […]
