I'm pretty good at a lot of artsy and craftsy things, but my sewing skills are very basic! But when my mom showed me how to make a fabric banner using chalkboard fabric, I thought, “now that’s a sewing project simple enough that even I could do it!” And if I can do it, then anyone can! So today I'm excited to show you just how easy it is to make your own DIY pennant banner with reusable chalkboard fabric that you can write on and wipe off over and over to decorate for any special ...

How to Make Easy & Adorable Ballerina Cupcakes
I love having two boys and I really enjoy planning mustache bashes and creating train cakes for them! But, as you might suspect, there isn't a whole lot of pink and ruffly happening at our house. And that's why, when my sister asked if I could find a way to make cupcakes into ballerinas, I jumped this girly challenge! As soon as I heard ballerina cupcakes, I immediately envisioned turning an upside down cupcake liner into a tutu - but how to make that work was another issue. At the ... View the Post
The Stylish, Smart Device That’s Keeping My Kids Safer
Out of the blue, my six year old came up to me a couple of weeks ago and started running his hands through my hair. His little fingers were clearly searching for something. I asked him what he was doing, and he turned to his four year old brother and said, "I can't find them, but I know mom REALLY does have eyes in the back of her head." I couldn't stop laughing! I don't even remember telling them this, but I must have said it at some point in time, and they'd been having a debate about whether ... View the Post
I’ve Been Keeping a Secret… We’ve Been on Safari!
I've been keeping a big secret... While you were seeing my blog posts about fall decor for the last couple of weeks, I was traveling through South Africa! And now that we are home, I am so excited to finally tell you all about it! Two weeks ago, Scott and I set off for a week long safari, followed by several days spent exploring beautiful Cape Town! Since returning home on Saturday afternoon, we have barely scratched the surface of reviewing the thousands {and thousands} of photos ... View the Post
How to Protect Your Family From Carbon Monoxide
Thank you First Alert for sponsoring this post. Don’t let the beep steal your sleep. We do so many things to keep our families safe, but sometimes the simplest precautions are the most likely to get overlooked. Take carbon monoxide detectors for example. Do you have them throughout your home and are you certain they are in good working order? I'm ashamed to say that, until recently, this was a NO for us! Our home was a built a year before a law in Colorado began requiring carbon monoxide ... View the Post
How to Weatherproof Art for the Outdoors
When I shared some photos of our backyard in the spring, you may have noticed that I hung a large, canvas photo on the exterior wall of our white stucco garage. For years, I had been wanting something decorative for this space to break up the sea of stucco, but I had never been able to find any outdoor art that I really liked. So this year, I created my own weatherproof, outdoor art, and today I've got the super easy, five minute tutorial for you. Watch this quick video tutorial, and ... View the Post

Doubling Our Dining Room Storage
It's week 3 of the One Room Challenge makeover of our dining area, and with our chair crisis averted, things are finally moving along. We still have some decisions to make, and a lot of work to do, but I'm really happy with where things are headed. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for everyone in the family! This post contains affiliate links. If you purchase something I recommend, you'll pay the same price, but I may receive a small commission. Last week, I showed you the table ... View the Post
When and Why to Prime Before Painting
This post is sponsored by Rust-Oleum, whose products make almost all of my DIY projects look better! Do you ever ask yourself, do I need to prime before paining this or is primer really necessary? I know I do! Back in law school I spent many hours painting a laminate bookshelf for my apartment, only to have the paint peel right off because I didn't prime it first. I'm a much savvier DIYer now than I was back then, but I still find myself questioning when I need to use ... View the Post
{shopping for style} CB2: Live and In Person
I just love receiving a mailbox full of catalogs to peruse - and while I don't have any problem shopping from catalogs or online, there is still nothing like the tactile experience of being in an actual store where you can touch and feel and sit on. In recent years, more and more of the stores that I had previously known only through catalogs have made their way to Denver, including Ikea, West Elm, and most recently Flor. One of my favorite catalogs, however, remains CB2, and there ... View the Post
{shopping for style} NYC Design Showroom Inspiration
A lot of people's idea of a vacation is a tropical destination relaxing on a beach, but Scott and I are more wired for city lights. So when we decided to take a Babymoon before the arrival of baby number two, we decided to head to one of our favorite places - New York City. The trip was nonstop, including three Broadway shows in four days, art museums and sightseeing ... But I couldn't go to NYC and not take in some interior design inspiration. In my last post, I ...
