Every year I eagerly sit down with my hot off the presses IKEA catalog and begin marking the pages all the items on my wish list with colorful sticky flags. But this year I got impatient waiting for the 2016 catalog to hit my mailbox, so I decide to start my browsing with the digital version instead. And even now that my paper catalog has arrived, I'm pretty hooked on the online version! When I watch tv and movies, I sometimes have a hard time focusing on the show because I'm so ... View the Post

{one room challenge} Ironing Out the Kinks: Laundry Room Week 4 Update
Welcome back to another week of our One Room Challenge laundry/linen closet makeover. We're at week 4 of this 6 week challenge, and we've come to the point in the process where we're checking some of the more labor intensive items off of the list, but everything is taking a little longer than I'd like and there's a lot of problem solving and adapting along the way. I call this the "ironing out the kinks" week. Before I show you what we accomplished this week, let me remind that our ... View the Post
Christmas Home Tour 2016: Part 1
Happy Holidays, friends! Have you put up your tree yet? We started decorating for Christmas about a week ago, and I still have just a little more to do, but today I'm really excited to show you how I've decked the halls on our main floor - including the entry, living room, and kitchen/dining room - with touches of red. I am participating in the Very Merry Christmas Home Tour hosted by Lovely Etc. Twenty-eight other bloggers are inviting you in to tour their holiday decor this week, and ... View the Post
Snowflake Tic Tac Toe
With Christmas just a week away, I am excited about today's Five Minute Friday tip, because it's one that we'll be able to enjoy throughout the winter season. As you may have noticed in past posts, we have a large tic tac toe board on our living room coffee table - a favorite of my boys - that is filled with the standard Xs and Os throughout much of the year. But I also enjoy switching things up for the holidays... I bought this tic tac toe board at Z Gallerie a number of years ago... ... View the Post
{annual report} What Got Done in 2016, What Didn’t, and What’s On the List for 2017
I'm not the best at formal goal setting, but I am a big list maker. Ever since we moved into our current home {8 years ago}, Scott and I have had a running list of household projects we want to tackle. It's a long and daunting list, but looking over it helps us determine what we want to save and budget for. A couple of years ago, we decided to break down our massive, long term list, and start mapping out priorities one year at a time. And I thought, why not document it on the blog to hold ...

DIY Sesame Street Bean Bag Toss Game
On Monday, I shared my sad story of Beckett's birthday party being cancelled last weekend because the rec center employee who was supposed to be there for our after-hours rental never showed up. We were locked out and had to turn thirty kids away. But tomorrow is take two, and we expect that this time the party will go off without a hitch. {Fingers crossed!!} Since Beckett absolutely loves Sesame Street, it was an obvious choice as the theme for his party this year. I wanted to keep all ... View the Post

{one room challenge} Week 2: Room to Grow
It's been a busy week around here. I spent last weekend in Charleston at a conference, and I found the beauty of the city so inspiring. Now I'm excited to be back home and I'm ready to get to work on creating a creative and fun shared bedroom for my boys.

{one room challenge} Week 3: Why Not Add the Bathroom Too?
It's week 3 of the One Room Challenge and I'm converting the nursery into a shared bedroom for my boys... or at least that's what is supposed to be happening around here. But this week has been a whole lot of hurry up and wait since nothing we've ordered has arrived just yet. The bunk beds are scheduled to be delivered on Friday... so I know what we'll be doing all weekend. Fingers crossed the assembly is easier than I expect. On second thought, I'll be crossing my fingers, toes, and ... View the Post
{organizing with style} Kid’s Closet Pinspiration and a Plan
We are slowly {so very slowly} making progress on Beckett's new room. We have all the furniture purchased, and Scott and I have hot Valentine's plans to assemble the bed and bookshelves tomorrow night. Don't be jealous! But there was been one area of the room plan that I had been procrastinating on - the closet. Sometimes I work best under a deadline, and that was the case this weekend. The annual Elfa sale at the Container Store was scheduled to end on Tuesday {but has now been extended to ... View the Post
