I am joining Annie from Zevy Joy and a talented group of bloggers today to share some Easter inspiration! My daughter made me worried yesterday saying Easter was this coming Sunday! After brief panic I realized...it is not, we have about two weeks. But her little mistake started a fire under me to get Easter baskets put together and make a plan for our Easter Sunday. We go to church every Sunday, but really look forward to church on Easter Sunday. After church when we lived in Utah we would go to brunch on one side of the family then dinner at the other and Easter egg hunts at both. Now we are ... Read More
Built-in Kitchen Banquette Reveal
I am so excited to share our FINISHED Built-in Banquette with you! I shared back on THIS post in January that we really wanted to add a built-in banquette to our tiny kitchen. And I have talked about this banquette a lot since then, can you tell how excited I am about it?! If you have read my blog before this post you already know that we had a cozy little settee in our kitchen that we were using as a banquette. I was REALLY sad to see that settee go. It was comfortable and good looking settee and held a lot of memories. I was willing to part with it to gain some extra seating and ... Read More
Friday Favorites starts with a trip to Target
I went to Target the other day (thankfully the closest Target is about 25 minutes away, so I don't go too often!) I was blown away by all of their pillows. I picked up the black and white stripe outdoor kidney pillow for our banquette and THIS bamboo planter basket. I could have gotten way more!

New Roman Shades in the Kitchen
When we moved into our house two and a half years ago we remodeled the kitchen a few months after moving in. The kitchen was so depressing to me. I hated being in it. It just felt dark and heavy. We had put off remodeling the kitchen right away because we thought we might do an addition to the kitchen. But we decided to put off the addition and reface the kitchen cabinets and get new appliances and tile. The finishing details were the window treatments. I knew I wanted to do roman shades but just didn't know where anyone local to make Roman Shades that were inside mount. I happened to be ... Read More
5 Tips to avoid food waste with blue apron
I read a statistic the other day that said "Americans aren't eating about 40% of the food we buy." That is a lot of wasted food! I don't know about you but I start to get stressed when I have to throw out food that went bad. When I start to notice something is going to expire I get creative and think of ways to use it or freeze it. We do eat and love leftovers and rarely have food waste, but it does happen to the best of us. I notice when I go to the grocery store without a list or a meal plan for the week that is when I have food that gets wasted. After reading that statistic on food ... Read More
Friday Favorites-starts with Cherry Blossoms
I shared the above photo this time last year on my Instagram account. I keep looking for cherry blossom branches at my local Trader Joes or Whole Foods. No sign of them yet. I can remember how excited I was when I spotted them last year. They made me so happy whenever I saw them at my sink. I think it is so important to enhance our surroundings- it lifts our spirits in ways we sometimes are not fully aware of. Whenever I buy flowers I always think of this quote "She created a life she loved." We create it- and it is the small and simple things for me. It could just be cutting a branch ... Read More
Daydream Wallpaper and the Legos
I shared a couple of pictures of our new wallpaper on Monday for my Spring Home Tour. I can't get over how much I like this wallpaper and how it really completes the room. I have been wanting to do something above the chalkboard wall since we painted it last year, actually since we moved in. It is a dormer ceiling and painting it with chalkboard paint felt too heavy and dark and wouldn't make sense to have chalkboard paint that high. We also have THIS temporary faux brick wallpaper on the other walls and the brick felt weird to put on the dormer and wouldn't make sense either. So I just left ... Read More

Friday Favorites starts with a Home Tour
Happy St. Patricks day! My daughters were pretty excited for the day, just anything slightly different about a day get's them going. We even made a leprechaun trap. I went to Old Navy the other day looking for a green shirt for my daughters, because #holiday. I found one on clearance for both my daughters and I couldn't help it, I picked up a few things for myself. I was loving all their new spring things! I shared what I picked up along with other Favorite things from this past week. I came across THIS home tour of Juliane Hough. She is too cute and her home is just as cute. I loved ... Read More
