We have had Spring Break all week for my girls. We did a little staycation. We went to the Zoo, rode bikes, played at the beach, parks and enjoyed the gorgeous weather. This Easter Sunday it is supposed to be high 70's here in CT and we are thrilled! We have some fun things planned for Easter. Sad to be away from family on Holiday's but looking forward to making some yummy things for my family for Easter dinner and breakfast. I am sharing some Easter Recipes that caught my eye this past week while planning our Easter menu, a new way we tried for coloring our Easter eggs and some other ... 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! I shared my favorite pillows below... 1- Kidney Stripe Pillow /// 2-Buffalo Check Pillow /// 3-Cream Polka Dot Pillow /// 4-Cream Fringe Kidney Pillow /// 5-Black and White Stripe Pillow /// 6-Ebony Fringe Pillow /// 7-Cream 24" Fringe Pillow I took the above picture the other night ...

Friday Favorites starts with Chandeliers
I am SO excited for this weekend. I mentioned in a different post that my husband travels for work in February. THIS Sunday he comes home from his last long trip! So let the home projects start back up again, just kidding...well kind of. So I have a quick Friday Favorites for you and it starts with some chandeliers. Thanks for all your feedback and thoughts on shiplap from my last post. I am thinking chandeliers now for my kitchen and contemplating changing out the chandelier (we have #4 on the list below) for something a little different. Below are some of my favorites, they are all ... Read More
Friday Favorites starts with my Home Tour
This week has flown by, with kids getting out early and today being a day off from school. I have been kind of in a funk lately. I think we are all our worst critics, it really is sad. Lately I want to change everything in our house. Then I self reflect and think do I just feel that way because I am a designer/blogger who is exposed to too much? I went to someones house last week and oh man it was BEYOND cute. Like I would move right in and be happy. It was big, new, white, on the beach, lots of ship lap, lots of charm. It put me in a mood after seeing it. I finally snapped out of it- but it ... Read More
Friday Favorites starts with Turkish Dish Towels
I have been making THIS bread about every other day. Last week I prayed for inspiration for who to take the homemade bread to, someone who needed a boost. My prayers were answered and I took it along with a simple dinner to a family in my church. I don't share that to boast, I know there are so many of you doing the same thing every single day. I share that because sometimes we need a reminder to ask God for that direction and also be willing to let others serve YOU! My girls love the bread so we keep a loaf every once in awhile. I like to wrap the freshly baked bread in a tea towel ... Read More
