I love Valentines. Maybe it is the fact that I can add more pink to my house. Or that I love sending Valentine Day cards, who doesn't want to get a little note of love? When I used to work in a design store, on Valentines we would do a cookie exchange and then everyone got to take home a plate of different cookies with the recipe. We would have the warehouse guys judge them of coarse, we needed a winner. I can remember my Dad bringing me in a little valentines day treat and balloon for a couple of years to my work or on other occasions they dropped off a pie on our front door. It was so ... Read More

Vintage Typewriter Birthday Gift
We went to Utah for Christmas to celebrate with our family and friends. Then we went from there straight to Hawaii with my husbands side of the family. It was a Christmas gift from his Mom and her Husband. Unfortunantly my husband couldn't go with us, it was a real bummer. He had to be in Florida for work. We had a hard time saying goodbye to him. His Mom helped me a lot with the girls and we were pretty distracted to be too homesick for him. My birthday was January 9th, we celebrated at a Lua at night and whale watching in the day. A pretty great way to spend a Birthday. When we got home last ... Read More
Purpose in Style Top Picks
Myself and Lindsay from The White Buffalo Styling Co. and Melanie from My Sweet Savannah shared our new series HERE about three months ago called Purpose in Style. Over that time we have posted on our Instagram accounts images of our homes being lived in with Purpose in Style. The reason behind why we put so much time and love into creating our homes, the real purpose and how we style them. One week I shared this photo of my girls cuddled in my bed early in the morning. When it was Christmas I added lights above our bed and some fresh garland. The purpose was to create a cozy christmas ... Read More
Gender Revel and a Cake
We shared that we are expecting a few month ago HERE. We are over the moon excited. It took us longer than we thought with our third baby. I was contemplating not finding out the gender of this baby. My husband on the other hand had other plans...and once he put his into action it required that he make up for it with cake! We actually did the new blood test at our doctors office. It tests for a lot of different things about the health of the baby along with telling you the gender of the baby as early as 10 weeks. We did the test and I was unsure if I would have them tell me what the ... Read More
Favorite New England Homes
I took a little drive the other day to drop off a few Christmas gifts to friends. I grabbed my camera and wanted to snap a few pictures of the gorgeous New England style homes that catch my eye every time I drive around my neck of the woods in Connecticut. When we first moved here I had the kindest girl offer to drive me around the area and show me her favorite spots and why she loves Connecticut. It was so fun, I learned a lot and also appreciated our new town so much more. I hope to pay it forward one day. I accidentally drove down this road that was a dead end. These amazing ... Read More

Holiday Cards with Nuts and Bolts
"These are the wonderful things we will remember all through our lives." Our Holiday cards had to be at the beach, because this was something new and wonderful to us this year.

Holiday card should reflect the past year. I loved both of these styles when I browsed through Nuts and Bolts Etsy site.

Girls Bedroom Tour
It is crazy to me that we have almost lived in this house for one year, time needs to slow down! When we moved in I was most excited to get my hands on my girls bedroom. They didn't share a room in our Utah home. We had to maximize every inch of this Cape Cod home. And can I just tell you how glad I am that we have them sharing a room? They sing each other to sleep and play for hours together in this space, such a blessing. I created a play area opposite their beds. They love dolls and all the little toys. I had these Ikea bins that I made a simple ... Read More
