You know that question- "If you could go to dinner with ANYONE alive who would it be?" Before I give my answer. I want you to stop and think what would you say? I feel like my answer changes depending on the month. But right now it is for sure Joanna Gains. She is pretty inspiring. I love her perspective, value she puts on family and also her passion for design. That leads me to why I popped into Target. To see Joanna and Chip Gaines new Harth and Hand Collection! Obviously. I am sure glad we did! I honestly loved a lot of the new collection. I thought I had seen all of it on ... Read More

Friday Favorites starts with Cutting Boards
Friends. Friends and Cutting Boards. That sounds like I am going to say all the ways friends are like cutting boards. No. Just my friends visited last week for one day, really like 6 hours. My friends appreciate the little details in my home and tell me! I do the same for them. It gave me a boost to have them visit and also left me missing them and a little sad. I do have friends in CT but I feel like the friends I have here already have their really good friends they have known forever and family close. Most people in our area grew up here and know everyone. I remember when we moved to CT ... Read More
Outdoor Patio- Now we REALLY love it!
We had a yard sale or "tag sale" as they call it in Connecticut. I wanted it to be good, I knew I had some blog readers coming, friends and social media friends, I didn't want them to be disappointed! So I put out a lot of things I wasn't really planning on, like the outdoor patio furniture we had at the time. I put out the patio table first because it was a little damaged. Then I added the red chairs and the sectional too! I was ready for a change and had some ideas in my mind that I thought would be better for our family. We made some quick decisions when we originally moved in and we didn't ... Read More

Fall Decor in our Family Room- Seasons of Home Series
Are you ready for a little Fall Decor now? It is officially Fall in my eyes. My girls walked in from school the other day and Ella, my oldest said "It feels like Fall in here, good job Mom!" (this Family Room is the first room they see off the bus). She just knows how to make her mom happy. I love that she said it "feels" rather than "looks". Fall is a feeling. I am happy to be joining Ella Claire Inspired and her blogging tour again this week for Seasons of Home. Today is all about our Family Rooms and the simple touches we add to create that Fall feeling.
