Mani-Monday

Today I’m joining the Mani Monday Link-up…. This week my daughter spent money out of her piggy bank to buy purple sparkle nail polish. She let me paint my toes with it and one nail. She’s rockin’ the purple sparkle on all 20 digits. The pink I’m rockin’ is Sinful Colors Cream Pink. The purple polish is MIA right now and I’m hoping it doesn’t end up on my walls! We paint our nails a few times per {Read More}

Thanksgiving Naps
November 17, 2011 By 6 Comments
Every Thanksgiving since I can remember I have gone to my Mother’s house. We eat dinner and struggle to get the kids to take a nap. We’re all exhausted from cooking and doing dishes and the excitement of the holiday parade. While the guys nap, the girls look through the ads and plan out the “attack” on Friday morning. Last year the kids didn’t cooperate.This year it will be different. I hope.We’re doing Thanksgiving at my house - just my {Read More}

This is my “good girl disclaimer” when I feel like my best work isn’t being put out there I feel vulnerable ~ this is one of those posts….I’m tired, a bit sick and have kids screaming around me. This is a look into my brain on decaf coffee ~ I’ve been reading Grace for the Good Girl by Emily Freeman (twitter handle @emilychats) and have been loving it!

My “Fancy” Dreams…
September 27, 2011 By 8 Comments
As you know, one of my pet projects this month has left my sewing machine collecting dust. My couch re-do is calling my name. I wanted to share with you my inspiration for the fabric I chose. I didn’t go quite as bold, but it’s actually kind of a cross between the couch and chair. The chair - can I say it again!? THE CHAIR. Yes, that’s been “tickling my fancy” this week. I’ll share my fabric pick for my {Read More}

The other day I did a post on Front Doors - how they are such a fun way to welcome people into your home. I can’t take credit for any of the photos - but if I could have 5 front doors, they would look like that! But these photos are of my front door. The same wreath, I just change it up for the seasons. I’m struggling with how to hook my wreath on the door though. What do {Read More}

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I got some new chairs. Well, new to me at least. I’m thinking these beauties have decades on me! These 2 lovelies came to me from the neighbor. Every year my neighborhood does a block sale & every year my neighbors and I chat and laugh about how much stuff we have. Sitting on the front steps I asked them if they had any chairs they wanted to get rid {Read More}
