• Holiday Home Tour | Part Five | The Playroom

    Welcome to Part Five of my Holiday Home Tour! I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas. We certainly did and enjoyed hosting dinner on Christmas day. We crammed 14 adults and three little ones into our 1300 square foot home, which made it pretty cozy. Everyone enjoyed themselves and lots of love could be found wherever you turned. Today, I want to welcome you into our playroom to see how we had it decked out for the holiday season…(and again, as in my other posts, this room being this clean is a real rarity! There are normally toys everywhere, and it literally looks like a natural disaster hit.…

  • Holiday Home Tour 2013 | Part Two | The Kids’ Room

    I am starting this post an hour before my birthday (12/15). By the time I click “publish” I will have turned 32 and will be spending the day with my two favorite people…2 1/2 year old, Hazel, and 15 month old, Owen.

Far from it actually. The room that will be the baby's room is currently mine and Josh's bedroom…and it is still loaded with boxes and piles of clothes from when we moved in. Not very inspiring let me tell you. But hopefully in a few months time…it will be. Today, I thought I would share some images found on…

  • baby w.

    Just two days before Christmas this past December, Joshua and I received the best gift ever. The one we had hoped and prayed for.  The news of course being that we are expecting our first child. I am currently 11 weeks along and only have one week to go before finishing up the grueling first trimester. And it has been a bit grueling. But I am surviving it. Somehow. My energy level has never been this low, so everything around here has slowed down along with me. But thankfully, I am blessed to have a career {if 3 Etsy shops constitute a career?} where I make the rules and can 'call…
