Thank you for all the love on my post yesterday on all our new bedding details. We are really enjoying our fluffy bedding. We also enjoy the view laying in our bed looking up at the ceiling. Our old ceiling was hard- literally. They were square tiles. But they were not tiles that you could push up and they would move. It was like sheetrock that was imprinted with a tile stencil. We kept debating on what we could do to makeover the ceiling. Everything seemed like too much work or too messy. With a small house there isn't room to take things out of the bedroom and tear down the ceiling. So we ... Read More

Fluffy White Master Bedding
I have blogged about our master bedroom more times than is probably "normal." Every time that I have shared our master bedroom you have never seen the ceiling. It is always strategically cropped out. That is because I was hiding a secret. The ceiling was bad. But now is the day you get to see the ceiling in all it's glory- be excited. And a new ceiling leads to new bedding, fluffy white bedding to be exact, from Boll and Branch. Because I had another secret, that white duvet that we were using was close to 7 years old and starting to show it's age. It was time for something new. Of ... Read More
Eclectic Fall Home Tour
Hello! Welcome to my Eclectic Fall Home Tour. I am joining Marty from A Stroll Thru Life and 30 other bloggers to share our Fall Homes this week. I love home tours, it is so fun to be exposed to new bloggers and get ideas on how to decorate our homes with the change of the seasons. For those that are new to my blog, welcome! We are a family of 5 living in Connecticut and have been for almost two years. We live in an 1100 square foot cape style home. Our home is about 800 meters to the beach and about an hour into New York City. We love our location and all that we have been exposed to. Fall ... Read More
Succulents, Cookies and Shopping
I shared last blog post how excited I was that my mom was in town. She flew in Friday night and just flew out today. It is always sad to see her leave. She is just such a joy to be around. She is happy doing whatever we are doing, so easy going and helpful. The girls went back to school today giving my mom and I some time to go shopping at one of our favorite spots, Shop Terrain. I brought my camera along and snapped some pictures of things that inspired me. From succulents, fall colors, bees, dishes, cutting boards, smells and food...always food. It was a perfect September day, the weather ... Read More
Friday Favorites and Anthropologie Sale
My husband, Kevin had the morning off so he was able to take the girls to their first day of school with me. It was so fun to have him there. I remember last year seeing all the Dad's and wishing he could be there as I cried dropping Lola off to her first day of Kindergarten. It was a good morning. The girls couldn't wait to get to school. And I was pretty thrilled to send them off then looked forward to hearing all about their day when they got home. After we passed them off to their teachers we went grocery shopping (pretty happy to have Kevin there, as I am sure he was stoked). We ... Read More
Fall Inspiration
My kids start school Thursday this week. Is it bad to say that I am kind of excited? I saw a picture on Facebook that went viral about the Mom cheering and doing leaps in front of her kids obligatory first day of school pictures. She was pumped. She is awesome, I get it. Don't get me wrong I love my girls so much. But it will be nice to have them learn and not feel so much pressure to make sure they read and get something out of the day! I can pass that responsibility onto someone else. I would not be good at home schooling. Anyways I digress.... Now that they have started school I have ... Read More
Homemade Bread and my Mom
"They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad an sincere hearts." Acts 2:46 My mom has been on a mission to accomplish that exact scripture. She found a homemade bread recipe that she loved and made a goal to bake one loaf of bread a day and give it to someone. That alone shows how thoughtful, empathetic, loving and Christ-like she is. She says "nothing is better than getting a loaf of warm homemade bread." I couldn't agree with her more. Think of the last time someone made you homemade bread? I can remember one of my best friends, Rachel baking a fresh loaf of french ... Read More
Fall Home Tour
Welcome to my fall home tour! The other day while the girls were at school I cleaned the house and brought up some of my fall décor and picked up a few things at the store to get our home ready for fall. My daughters walked in and said "oh this looks so pretty, I love fall and all the colors." It made my day and everything I had worked on worth it. It made them feel happy to be home, it made them excited about the future, it made them feel that the are important enough that I would spend a little extra time to create a beautiful space for them. I filled my basket for my front door with ... Read More
Healthy Waffle Recipe- Paleo Waffles
This morning I had 4 ripe bananas sitting on the counter. I thought of waffles and Sunday. Growing up my Dad always made waffles from scratch every Sunday morning before church. He never made them from a box or frozen. The waffles he made were the kind where you whip the egg whites until they form peaks, making your waffles so light an airy. It is nostalgic to me. I still love waffles, and came up with the best paleo waffle recipe! It will keep my kids full for hours. I notice a big difference on how many they eat of these compared to a box mix. They eat less of these paleo waffles. ... Read More
