I am relieved happy to report that our second attempt at Beckett's birthday party was a huge success! {If you missed all the drama, you can read the full story of why the first party had to be cancelled, leaving me in tears.} This past Saturday, we managed to entertain 30+ toddlers without too much chaos, and I heard more than one little boy declare it "the best party ever!" on his way out the door. Now I fully realize that this is one of those "you say that to all the girls" ... View the Post

Plant Recommendation: What to Plant Behind a Garden Bench
When we moved into our home, the small backyard left a lot to be desired, but over the years we transformed it, little by little, into our very own oasis in the city. One of my very favorite parts of our yard is the planter bench that provides seating on one side of our patio table. But finding the best plants for this garden bench proved more challenging than I originally expected. After weeks of online research, and a trip to just about every nursery in town, we finally stumbled upon the ... View the Post
{one room challenge} Lighten the Load: Laundry Room Week 3 Update
Week 3 of the One Room Challenge - the half way point. Does that mean I am supposed to be half way done with my laundry and linen closet makeover? I sure hope not!

I've had my eye on the black metal ... View the Post
Toy Storage Baskets With Grown Up Style
I was recently asked to define my home style in just three words, and my answer was Modern, Graphic & Family. Is "family" a style?! To me, having kids means incorporating them into every room of the house. But that doesn't mean that every space has to look like a playroom. Instead, it's all about finding ways to maintain your own personal style while still creating a home that's kid-friendly. To help you do just that, I've compiled a list of 12 of my favorite baskets perfect for ... View the Post
{seasonal style} My Modern Christmas Table + 10 More
Ever since my husband gave me a set of gorgeous white and silver snowflake dishes for Christmas a couple of years ago, I look for any excuse I can find to entertain around the holidays and throughout the winter! When I was invited to participate in a Christmas table blog hop with some of the most talented bloggers I know, and hosted by the lovely Aniko of Place of My Taste, I was a little intimidated because tablescapes aren't really my thing, but I was excited to see how my snowflake ...

How to Make the Daylight Savings Time Change Easier on Kids
I've always loved daylight savings, despite losing an hour of sleep. Maybe it's the night owl in me talking, but I'm a fan of the extra light in the evenings to enjoy time as a family and to get my DIY projects done. But as a parent, the transition can be a bit rough! How do you convince young kids that it's bedtime when it's still light outside? And how do you get them up and moving for school in the morning when it's still dark in their room? With the time change coming this weekend, I ... View the Post

{decorating with style} For the Love of Art
While in NYC on our Babymoon last month, we spent a morning at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). I love all art museums, but none more than this one! I visited MoMA for the first time on a trip to NYC in college, right after taking a series of art history classes. Wanting to be able to revisit the art time and again, I brought home a book of highlights of the MoMA collection. That started an ever growing collection of books from my favorite of the art museums I visit, as well as other ... View the Post
Gorgeous Christmas Mantel Ideas
Today I've teamed up with a fun group of bloggers to share some Christmas mantel inspiration, and mine is of the very non-traditional variety! While most of our house is decked out in teal, red, black, and white for the holidays, in our basement family room, I'm always dreaming of an orange and white Christmas! When I picked the orange and gray color scheme for the basement, it was pre-kids, and we never decorated for Christmas down there. But once the kids came along, the basement family ... View the Post
{diy with style} My Top 3 Energy Saving Tips + A HUGE CONTEST
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Lennox® for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. Our utility company recently started sending a monthly report that not only graphs our own energy usage against prior periods, it also illustrates how our usage compares to the average use in our neighborhood. I learned that our natural gas usage is below average compared to others in our area, but our electricity usage is slightly above average. Of course, this got me thinking about easy ways ...

{shop the room} Modern Metro Master Bedroom Source List
Wow! I can't believe it's been two months since the One Room Challenge ended and I revealed my completed Modern Metro Master Bedroom Makeover! Because the completion of the room fell so close to the holidays, I got busy with Christmas posts and never followed up to share some of the details of the room, including the DIY tutorials. But recently I have received a few emails and comments asking about various items in the room, so I decided it was time to turn my attention back to the room and ... View the Post
14 Everyday Items That Can Be Repurposed as Flower Vases
Adding flowers to any room immediately brightens up the space {fresh or fake, I don't discriminate}. For even more interest, get creative with your vases. Rather than grabbing that clear glass vase from the top shelf of the cabinet, why not look around the house for some other items that can be repurposed to create unique and colorful vases to add an unexpected touch to your decor?! I like to add a lot of cheerful color to our home for spring and summer, and this year I created a simple ... View the Post
